Coup De Grâce, New Action from American Rifle Company, $899 WOW!

It looks like the extractor sits in front of the bolt face. If that is the case then in addition to the cone breech a notch will have to be cut for the extractor to fit in like the model 70 or 1903 Springfield. Criterion makes prefits for 03's maybe they'll make one for the CDG.

You are right, it’s ahead of the bolt face. As I literally every other action made. It would be impossible for it to grab onto a case rim if it wasnt at least in front of the rim.
What you fail to see is that the extractor is clearly flush with the bolt nose. Look from the top to past the ejector slot.

Look at post #79. As others have said, of course the extractor is forward of the bolt face. If this action required an extractor cut, it would be 98-99% less popular.

All extractors sit in front of their respective bolt faces. They couldn’t extract if they didn’t, but no notch is require.
 
I'm not a fan of quick change barrels myself, hard to beat the stability of a torqued joint with some elastic deformation of the two components... even if it is less convenient and requires a couple more tools to change a barrel.

And I say that as someone who owns 2x AXSA's and 1x AXMC with the QC barrel feature; also, I remember Ted said in one of his videos that the AI quick change system was one of the few he thought was done well. Even it's not foolproof though, you can find threads where people were having accuracy issues unless they tightened the lock screw to a higher than factory torque, and in some cases AI used too much epoxy during bedding and it got into the H-cut section of the receiver for the QC feature and the epoxy kept it from clamping the barrel tightly even when the screw was tight.

Didnt say it was easy, maybe its not possible but has anyone really tried to step outside the box and problem solve it?
The physics of reality says other wise. Here let's step outside of the box and make this mag a reality! If you work on it hard enough I know it's possible!

But in all seriousness, im really excited for the cdg and everything it entails. Been wanting to "build" my own bolt gun for a long time and just never could afford it. Sold a few guns o realized i hadnt shot in years and here we go!

You're right I recognize that, I should have said the upper part of the bolt that protrudes from the bolt face and holds the case in place, is that the bolt nose? I'm trying to "geek" out on this too much without all of the information, seeing the chamber drawing will help me visualize it better. I was overthinking it after looking at my Springfield and it's extractor notch. Glad no notch is required.
 
The coned breach makes sense IMHO. Because of the lack of a feed ramp, there needs to be some form of guidance with some cartridges. That's where we get back to modifying the AW mags, especially for the shorter cases like BR. The coned breach should get the rounds in the chamber but, the ride might be a little rougher than it has to be with the AW mags.
At least Ted is addressing the issue now & not like "The Fix" cluster F#*k.
 
Magazine Compatibility for Long Action Coup De Grâce

We have designed one variant of a long action receiver that works well with CIP length (3.85") single stack mags from Accuracy International and Accurate Mag.

Example Accuracy International AICS 338 CIP: https://www.milehighshooting.com/accuracy-international-338-lapua-cip-5-round/

Other variants may be possible and will be considered but for now, it's just CIP length single stacks.

"one variant of a long action receiver"
Does that variant need to be specified on the order? Is this only for the 338 family (including 300 NM) or will this variant and that mag work with 300 PRC or 300 WM? If not which magazine is recommended?

For short action, I understand AW magazines work with the correct latch. What is recommended for 7 SAUM?

Will Hawkins Hunter mags work with these receivers?

Will these receivers feed from BDL boxes?

Sorry for the questions, but I am about to order bottom metal for these receivers.

Does this mean you have to use this mag with any cartridge if you have the long action?
If you are planning to swap barrels on a long action you can look for a stock/chassis that has some way to swap between mag sizes.

For example; I have a Cadex Strike Nuke evo that has small inserts that fit in a notch under the action and will accept any of the 3 long action magazine sizes

I read that to mean that there is currently only one option/design for the LA. That being CIP. If you want something else, you will have to wait or adapt with your bottom metal.
 
Sexy Beast is a HIGHLY underrate movie. But Im biased. It's one of my favorites.
Ben Kingsley never disappoints. One of the true greats.

Back to the topic at hand: I think I'm holding off until I either burn out my Archimedes barrels or Proof starts running prefits. I gotta pay for custom chambering for my 22BR setup, but I'd cheerfully run SAAMI 6.5CM, and that'd save me a few hunnert.

ETA: That said, the feature set on this action is astounding, and I'm mildly salty that I just don't need another action rn. CDG's a winner for sure.

I didn’t really have a need for another action either, but went ahead and ordered one. The price point and the features were to hard to pass up. I’m sure I’ll find a use for it, heck I have two months to figure it out. 😁
