It's very little work for the trigger hanger. It's also very little work to change the mag catch on the KRG chassis. Just go for it. It's a blast. I'm super excited for this build.I keep waffling on the CDG. I want to do a 6mm Creedmoor. Planning on a Bravo chassis. Will be used as a hunting rifle most of the time. I have zero, and I mean zero, experience with bolt guns. Assembled a whole bunch of ARs. I'm nervous about the AW mags and the trigger hanger, and any mods I may need to do. Because I have no idea what I am doing. Should I send it and order the CDG, or go safe with an Origin or Nucleus? I still need to research triggers in general also.

Be careful with that gauge ball it should be part #9528K44 (1 1/4") not the #9528K24 as list in one section. You would figure it out real quick if you ordered the wrong part number and saw it was only 1/2".

This is not actually hard at all and if you e assembled some ARs, this will be almost as easy. Maybe just as. As mentioned by ARC just above, either mag will work just fine with most chassis. Especially those that have spent adjustable or replacement mag catches. And the trigger hanger clearance is not an issue with most either. It’s and easy mod if even needed.I keep waffling on the CDG.

Exactly that.I pretty sure from what has been posted you don't have to use AW mags you can build it with AICS mags like the other actions they sell. I hope I'm not reading it wrong because I pre ordered a 223 barrel from PVA and there are not any 223 AW mags that I have seen lol
They deserve it! Great shop. And we’re all going to be waiting 4+ months anywayPVA is going to be busy for a while
I'm wondering if it is possible to modify ARC (Nuke/Arch/Maus) other actions barrel to work with the CDG?
Sort of. Ideally, you'll want to run a conical breech although it has fed well with 6.5 CM and similar from an AIAW mag. AICS mags will certainly require a conical breech. We'll post a drawing of the breech on our website soon. Cutting the breech face is easy, even with a conventional lathe.

A magnum or .535 case head barrel from one of the other Arc actions will be interchangeable with the CDG Per the new print.I'm wondering if it is possible to modify ARC (Nuke/Arch/Maus) other actions barrel to work with the CDG?

Sure. Push the whole chamber forward, and chase the thread, but why, so you can never use that barrel on your Nucleus, Archimedes, Mausingfield again?I'm wondering if it is possible to modify ARC (Nuke/Arch/Maus) other actions barrel to work with the CDG?
Set your barrel up with a barrel nut and single feed the CDG and you could switch your barrel between any of the ARC or a Savage action. That is probably how the first rounds through my CDG are going to be ran while I wait for the new style barrel.I'm wondering if it is possible to modify ARC (Nuke/Arch/Maus) other actions barrel to work with the CDG?
Sweet innovations. Very cool.
Did I miss whether there's a safety mechanism and, if so, of what kind?
when the preorder started i think they quoted around 8wks. it's been around 3 weeks now, so probably 4-5wks, if I had to guessHas anyone heard an update on when they might start shipping? My smith is 4 ish weeks out so I’m hoping it’s about then…
It depends largely upon when you ordered also. CDG Action projected delivery dates moved out considerably as time went on. Understandably so.when the preorder started i think they quoted around 8wks. it's been around 3 weeks now, so probably 4-5wks, if I had to guess
It'll be there when it gets there.Has anyone heard an update on when they might start shipping? My smith is 4 ish weeks out so I’m hoping it’s about then…
Then it's not actually a prefit. If arc says it's good for prefits it's good for prefits. The action will match print. There are tolerances and fits for reasons. Looking at the dimensions of the print above the +/-0.001 covers everything that it needs to get it where it needs to be.Just spoke wiht Russ at SPR and he said if you plan to order a prefit from him, you'll have to send your action in to verify it matches the tenon print.
We will be doing prefits for the ARC CDG action but we ask you send us the action to certify the chambering specs adhere to the print. This is one of the potential drawbacks to prefits if the action doesn't match the print. If we do a prefit and it doesn't fit your action we'll fix it but we'll charge you to fix it.

That's what i was thinking. Ted does right on his actions and SPR does right on their barells so i don't see it being a problemThen it's not actually a prefit.

If you recall and even if you don’t, it was stated up front that they are not going to provide delivery dates as this is a preorder. The biggest condition of allowing a preorder was that there was no promise date, only targets, and that once you order, let it be. Be patient.It would be awesome if we could see estimated ship date on our order on the ARC website. That way I could stop compulsively refreshing the screen every day. I have a problem.
Exactly what he told me. I can understand it, it's a new action and they want it to be right when it leaves their shop. After they run a few through and get a feel for it, the "action in hand" requirement might go away. I'm about 1.5 hr drive from them so I'l likely just drive up and let them measure it.Just spoke wiht Russ at SPR and he said if you plan to order a prefit from him, you'll have to send your action in to verify it matches the tenon print.

I dont think he does. I was thinking about sending it, as well.Exactly what he told me. I can understand it, it's a new action and they want it to be right when it leaves their shop.

Do you know if he has the tenon print in hand? I was going to send it but didn't want to be the tenth guy emailing it to him.
where did you get your barrel fromJust finished ordering the last parts needed. Once I get my smith the action he's going to have a bart barrel spun on in 2 weeks. Already has the bart barrel blank on his shelf.
My first bolt gun, I'm pretty excited.
100% - You may mistake my cool dry wit for something other than enthusiasm. Trust me we're all good on this end There's plenty to keep the train rolling.If you recall and even if you don’t, it was stated up front that they are not going to provide delivery dates as this is a preorder.

I dunno… I ordered from Canada literally the minute I got the email about the pre-order lol. It’ll be a race!Until someone proves me otherwise, I'm the first international buyer
Now we're talking! Where do we place betsI dunno… I ordered from Canada literally the minute I got the email about the pre-order lol. It’ll be a race!
A. Fuckin. Bunch.Is anyone privy to the number of actions they presold? Only curiosity on my end.
I think someone said about 150A. Fuckin. Bunch.
Sure, but the machines they bought to make sure this was possible probably cost 4-5 times that amount.hto damn, that's around 135k!
