Accurate are good but so are the new MDT metal 223 10 rounds. You’ll probably has to modify either the accurate or mdt in order to go 2.540 coalSo what .223 mags should we be looking at getting? The accurate mags?
Amazing! And y’all got the bolt heads there too!
Need a DBM with adjustable latch. Punching out the Hawkins latch is big meh.Any chassis with adjustable mag latch will bw sufficient. Xylo, c4, matrix, envy, acc. Hell guys are running aw mags with 700s in the new atx chassis w/o adj latch.
Yes that would be a nifty creation.Need a DBM with adjustable latch. Punching out the Hawkins latch is big meh.
But I don't see the bolt knobs listed there yet. I have been wanting an original bolt knob with 5/16-24 thread for my VudooAmazing! And y’all got the bolt heads there too!
I believe Hawkins have an adjustable mag latch settup.What bottom metal will work with an AW magazine?

Ok. I believe the MDT ACC Elite has what you're looking for. I think there may be another but I can't recall at the moment.They offer an AW length latch that you need drive in/out. It’s not adjustable per se.
Ahh, leave those worries for future jzerfoss. He'll work it out when & if the time comes.I'm really nitpicking this thing to find some reasons not to buy it. I really like a lot of the features but I don't really need another action. Main things I've seen so far that I'm iffy about is:
The Extractor: I've had bad experiences with sako style extractors. While it's not exactly a sako extractor the exposed spring gives me pause especially when a primer is popped.
The Conical Breach: I don't really have a problem with it other than I shoot mostly 223 and I can't really tell from the descriptions how much of the case body will be unsupported and how well it will feed the 223.
The Trigger Hanger: Awesome innovative design but my main worry is will the screws loosen over time with how they are oriented.
No, I want to use a Foundation Centurion that’s already in my possession .Ok. I believe the MDT ACC Elite has what you're looking for. I think there may be another but I can't recall at the moment.
Order number SO-0369XX, took about 20-30 mummies for it to show up in my orders.
What's that make it, over 5k ordered in a hour and a half?
Agreed, 3000 orders is like $2.7M in revenue. Possible, but I’d be pretty darn surprised.We don’t know that order numbers started at 0 so I wouldn’t put too much into thinking that’s how many actions were sold.
Take a look at post #79 by Ted. I think your worries about the extractor are unfounded.I'm really nitpicking this thing to find some reasons not to buy it. I really like a lot of the features but I don't really need another action. Main things I've seen so far that I'm iffy about is:

I went looking for an adjustable mag latch bottom metal some time ago. All I could find was the Hawkins.No, I want to use a Foundation Centurion that’s already in my possession
Got one! This is going to be my first centerfire bolt action... Couldn't pass up the feature set!
Does anyone know if the Criterion barrels sold on the ARC site can be used for the CDG? Descriptions don't say anything specific to which ARC actions are supported, but I know the CDG (at least) needs something a little different than the others. https://americanrifle.odoo.com/shop/category/barrels-muzzle-devices-28
I’m one of the other videos I believe Ted says it is not compatible with nuke or archimedes prefits. If it’s a savage small shank, that I don’t know then if it’s compatible. It won’t have the conical breach face so you may have issues there.Got one! This is going to be my first centerfire bolt action... Couldn't pass up the feature set!

Just sent mine back to aero and ordered thisLooks like Ted broke the internet with this one. Seriously though, the hosting would be able to handle a reasonable amount of people. I wonder how many were trying to place an order this morning?
Guess I'm ordering a Solus. JK
Not often I suspect; even changing barrels is kind of rare despite how easy it is. The issue is I’m filling a short length cartridge hole in my lineup and only AICS mags are available for said cartridges.I went looking for an adjustable mag latch bottom metal some time ago. All I could find was the Hawkins.
How often do you think you'll need to swap from AW to CS?
If the AW mags feed flawlessly, why would you want to use a CS ?
If they don't, you'll be relegated to CS in any case which, makes the whole problem mute.
The extractor itself may survive but will the ball and spring. Not really an unfounded worry.Take a look at post #79 by Ted. I think your worries about the extractor are unfounded.
If you’re incapable of looking at that and seeing the difference between it and a Sako extractor… I don’t think it can be explained to you. Nor am I trying to be edgy.He doesn't even talk about the extractor on post 79.
I misread and edited my post. Also I own a bolt with a sako extractor and there are a lot of similarities.If you’re incapable of looking at that and seeing the difference between it and a Sako extractor… I don’t think it can be explained to you. Nor am I trying to be edgy.
This perhaps...... It's what I'm planning to run for my 6 BR in the Coup.Not often I suspect; even changing barrels is kind of rare despite how easy it is. The issue is I’m filling a short length cartridge hole in my lineup and only AICS mags are available for said cartridges.
Whatever, I wanted a new action.
As stated quite a few times on this thread, the CDG barrels will best perform when machined with a coned breach.thanks all for the responses! guess i have a few months to find a barrel... time to start the research!
yup, understand. the question came from the fact that the barrels were offered on the ARC website and the descriptions don't state whether they are for specific ARC actions and not others, just, "Chambered for American Rifle Company bolt actions." it's my first time ordering from ARC as well, so i wasn't sure if part of that barrel purchase includes the required machining for the action ordered with it, since they offer the install on the action. with all the knowledge and experience on this thread, figured i'd throw out the question. thanks!As stated quite a few times on this thread, the CDG barrels will best perform when machined with a coned breach.
I imagine that the Criterion barrels should screw into the CDG action but, the headspace will probably be different &, the coned breach will not be included in the barrels for ARC's other actions.

Yeah why not?I'm looking at the Bartlein Carbon 24" for a 7 PRC. Figure I have enough time to find one or order one by the time my action gets here and I actually feel like starting to build it. Slap it in a Manners LRH with a mini chassis. I think that would be solid rig for just about anything.
What I am not sure of is regular long action or CIP length mini chassis. I'm thinking CIP length because I will be able to go bigger, say 300 PRC, in the future and I can get CIP length 300 Win Mag magazines.
What say you experts?

Anyone get an email confirmation for their order? I've ordered in the past, small things here and there, and always got an email detailing the transaction shortly after. Haven't received anything this time.
Received my confirmation email about 45 minutes after the transaction went though.Anyone get an email confirmation for their order? I've ordered in the past, small things here and there, and always got an email detailing the transaction shortly after. Haven't received anything this time.
What's with the mad rush, did they change it so that the introduction price is only available during the few days of preorder?
I got in early because I was shooting for a specific single digit serial number to match an early long action Mausingfield, the lower price was just a bonus.What's with the mad rush, did they change it so that the introduction price is only available during the few days of preorder? I didn't gather that that was the plan from ARC's earlier posts?
Personally I'm going to wait and buy my ARC CBD at full price just so I can flex on all the pre-order poor's...
FWIW in my MG2 with Hawkins DBM I run the standard length magazine catch for both AICS (Accurate Mag and ARC branded ones) and AW magazines without any issues. Didn't even realize they made an AW-specific mag catch because I never had any problems with them that would cause me to look into something like that.Not often I suspect; even changing barrels is kind of rare despite how easy it is.

Me too, couldn't get aw with hrd kit ro run for shit in a centurion/Hawkins/lone peak 6bra. Used arc mags and all is will, just run that bolt quick. Slow can cause some nose jams into front of breech.Had a very different experience with a Centurion, Hawkins DBM, and Defiance action.
