You’ll need to push the chamber.One other thing, would it be possible to cone a savage prefit without touching the chamber or would you have to run the chamber deeper to get it to work?
I run savage prefits with Barlocs on all my ARC actions and I currently have a new Proof savage Prefit getting muzzle threads so if it’s as simple as coning the breach I could have the smith do it now and run it on the CDG instead.
As I stated earlier, cases are surprisingly strong but I also acknowledge that case head separation do happen but almost never with new brass unless the barrel work is really really bad or the case is defective in a big way.
We have run the Coup De Grâce with 223 from and Accurate mag. Seems to work well but coned breech is a must for that one.

Ted will have to confirm, but I suspect your answer is the ejector blade window. It looks like there is a slot in the bolt that aligns with that ejector port. Plus whatever bleeds through the mag & ejection port.Is there a vent hole in the action in case there's a case head separation?
Yep.This seals the deal for me. I’ll be ordering one when they’re available.
Will they be available nitrided? Not sure if I missed that or not.
@karagias, given that you’re going to sell thousands of these in the coming years, might you have plans to sell a trigger of your own design, too?
I think doing so would be smart.

That won't work. If you look at a tenon drawing of the flat back barrels and one with a cone, you'll know why.
Both barrels support the cartridge all the way back to where the extractor groove begins.
The flat back barrel stops there.
The cone breech continues further back. Probably somewhere on the order of .050.
To use a cone breech barrel on a flat nosed bolt, you'd have to remove the coned section. A flat breech barrel works on both but you might have feeding issues with smaller diameter cartridges.
I'd provide a drawing, but I likely wouldn't get it modified before I get called back, because I'm at the eye clinic. If someone doesn't beat me to it, I'll provide it after I get home.
It'll be a few hours
For under 30 cal with a flat breach yes.feeding may be compromised?
maybe I should have prefaced that with " hold my beer"Correct you cannot just cut a cone into a flat back barrel unless you want to see
a rifle grenade.
exactly what I was thinking.This will be the beginning of my 300Norma. Thanks Ted!!!
Why all the boners for Proof when Bartlien exists? Heck, I’m excited to try one of these new Osprey barrels over anything from Proof.
This is awesome. Now people like me who want maximum ignition reliability and don’t care about a little cock on close can get that without installing a longer cocking piece.I'll try to get back here later today and answer some more questions but I just want to address the trigger hanger since people have asked about it.
The trigger hanger provides for 1.6mm of adjustment along the bore axis to accommodate various R700 triggers having slight variations in the positions of their cocking-piece bearing surfaces. See pictures below.
If closing the bolt results in a slight drop of the striker/firing pin, tightening the set screw at the forward end of the trigger hanger will push the trigger back to eliminate the drop-on-close. Similarly, if closing the bolt results in some additional cocking, then loosening the set screw will allow the force of the striker spring to push the trigger forward thus eliminating the cock-on-close. The set screw simply impinges on an 45° inclined surface of the receiver which enables the change in position between the trigger hanger and the receiver.
What's nice about this design is that adjustments are really quick and easy to make. The set screw coupled with the forward bias resulting from the mainspring force enables precise and deliberate control. Once you're happy with the way the action feels when you close it, simply tighten the socket head cap screw at the back of the trigger hanger to lock it in place.
So what holds the trigger hanger and trigger in the receiver when the cocking piece is trying to push it out with the force of the main spring? Is it just the screw at the back of the hanger since the forward screw set can only push the hanger away from the receiver? Well of course not. That would be silly. The 1/8" trigger pins actually protrude laterally from the hanger to directly engage slots machined into the receiver. The slots serve as a track along which the trigger and hanger assembly move. The screws only maintain position longitudinally.
Additionally, this setup makes installing the trigger extremely easy. Once the trigger has been pinned to the hanger, present the assembly to the receiver so that each of the protruding pin tips aligns with its respective passage way, and then push up and forward into the receiver. You can then keep the assembly from falling out by inserting the screw at the back of the hanger.
The set screw can be held in place with three levels of security. First, friction. We've machined the thread in the hanger with an interference fit so you'll feel resistance when turning it. For second level security, add a tiny bit of blue Loctite. And if you're the paranoid type, replace the set screw with a longer one and add a lock nut. I suppose adding Loctite to level 3 gets you to level 4 but maybe that's a bit much. Personally, I'm running level two.
We have included index marks on both the receiver and the hanger to serve as a visual reference but you need only to feel the bolt closing to make your next adjustment.
Clever, huh? Patent is pending so don't get any ideas ;-]
I'll be back later today.

I second this question!Will lefties be available at the intro price when they are ready, or should we just order now?
When does the intro expire?
question is...I reached out to Proof given the desire here and am happy to say, "We ... are working with ARC."
Proofs are (hopefully) on the table bois.
The response appeared to reflect CDG only.question is...
CDG or the existing ARC standard (hopefully both)
@karagias I third this question and maybe I missed it when will the pre orders start happening?I second this question!
I think ARC is waiting to make sure that they have all of the pieces in place for volume production before opening any pre-ordering.@karagias I third this question and maybe I missed it when will the pre orders start happening?
You should just have to relieve some material is all.So i was at KRG site cause i was looking at using there stock with this action. it says possible issues with trigger hangers. Is there other stocks out there we can't use with this action
