It looks like he’s bitten off more than he can chew. Wrestling with a custom action decision without having the advantage in the decision’s native environment. It looks like the decision is winning at this point and Jim may be a goner. But first these words from National Geographic.
Ohh. I got a shipping notice.
Ordered day one. .473” BF, 30MOA, black, classic knob, right hand.

In November when they get to day 2 orders they should be close lol
My HNT26 came in today. Everything clears no problem. Getting it all together this evening with a proof CF and TT special.
Excellent, thanks for the confirmation. Seems like most chassis made in the last few years are being made with additional clearance for trigger hangers.
Well you’d hear about God’s own Impact 737r owners bitching otherwise.
Speaking of Impact, how does their inlet compare to the ARC actions? I have a Mausingfield I want to put in a McMillan stock and the company has either R700 or Impact 787 inlets and I’m trying to decide which is best.
The port length on the CDG is very long, cant see either inlet working with it. The rear edge of the ejection port cutout on the stock will protrude well into the cdg port. You ordering direct? Mcmillan 100% has a Mausingfield inlet.
OTM has the Game Warden 2.0 In McWalnut on the shelf and I have an open top Mausingfield in 30-06 that would fit its style perfectly. Kind of like a poor man’s Griffin and Howe All American but without the $19,000 wood stock.
Order shipped!! So freaking excited!!! 2/8 9:38pm pst order, I got fluted red knob and both pivoting/non pivoting handle.
at least you know this will perform much better than the Solus you bought before
This doesnt look to bind every time you cycle and it looks like the barrels headpsace properly
ARC has had a little more time building bolt guns. I bet the Solus 2.0 fixes any small issues they’ve had, if they ever do it.
Anyone tried the CDG in a Manners mini chassis? Does it fit or do modifications have to be made to the chassis? Also do AW mags run or does mag catch have to be modified? Thanks
Depends when the stock was made and what generation mini chassis it is.
The mini chassis in a fairly new TCS that I have looks like it will clear the trigger hanger just fine, which makes sense because people drop Impact 737s into TCS stocks all the time with no issues.
The mini chassis in a T4A that I have that was built around 2013-ish looks like it would need to be clearanced for the trigger hanger.
Can't confirm AW function with the stock mini chassis mag latch in the TCS that I have as I'm still waiting for my CDG. My hunch is an AW mag will run with an unmodified latch, but an AICS mag will need the latch trimmed to lower the mag so the feed lips don't interfere with the large diameter bolt.

The T2A GAP (with Gen2 MCS) I bought two years ago cleared a 737 no problem and fed from AW mags without issue.
Are you going to use AW mags?
(should you need to borrow anything for your bill testing, I think I bought every conceivable option)
Does anybody have any recommendations for cleaning rod length for the CDG on Xylo chassis? This would be length in addition to barrel of course. I‘m still waiting on my action, but it would be nice to get all the other bits out of the way.
Longer the better, barrel length + action length + stock length + couple inches for the tip to exit barrel and your knuckles a couple inches from hitting the buttstock.
An ARC nucleus with 26” barrel is about 46”. Adding a couple of ‘couple inches’ puts that at 50”+. Looking at the Xylo chassis, it seems there would be decent room to work a rod above the buttstock. But maybe looks are deceiving.
Another random question: Would it be a terrible idea to get a rod for 5.56 and use it for my AR’s and 6.5? Boretech specs 0.205” and 0.221” for those two calibers. I’d give up a ’little’ rigidity for the 6.5. And of course would be using a monster long rod for cleaning an AR. Rod tips… do they have common diameter (barrel, not brush) and threading at this size?

She’s in jail for the weekend. All my 4473s get delayed because I’m a non-immigrant alien, but I meet the exception requirements.
Yeah, that bolt is so poorly done they scooped parts of it out!
Underside has tooling marks but that’s hidden by the waterline of the stock. Are you talking about in front of the ejection port it looks like there could be something there under the nitriding?
Yeah, in front of the ejection port the circle tooling. Also it looks like a bunch behind the bolt knob and on the bolt shroud as well.Yeah, that bolt is so poorly done they scooped parts of it out!

Every time I see the fluting in a picture I think it's running backwards, instead of left to right I think it should be right to left like a meat grinder. Pushing every thing forward rather than back to you. Either way I like it.
I manage to put wear marks on every tool I use where the intended wear is most likely to happen.
Ok, I could buy that. I'll have to lock that in my brain. A screw pressing the cartridge into the chamber.
I'm not sure where I came up with my current perspective unless it just locked in from the first images Ted posted.
