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

[Crotalus]

May have been addressed already, but is anyone currently producing prefits? It’ll take longer to get a barrel than the action.

Also wondering if the print for the tenon has been finalized

 

[Tokay444]

You’ll probably see it here first when it is.

That tenon drawing hits and I'm off to convince a very reputable precision shop to produce them.

Would be cool if they used the same print that other popular manufacturers use

Hi Ted,

Just to clarify, will the long action be available with a 30 moa integral rail? It has that option listed on the website, but in the description/details of the CDG it says, quote "Its Rem700 footprint receiver is machined with an integral recoil lug and integral 20 MOA rail."

I have one on preorder with a Canadian distributor already and am very excited, but wondering what the action will come with. I did request 30 but if they will be 20 only that is not a deal breaker. This is my first custom action and looking to build a 300 PRC on it.

Cheers - Ken

Dustyplyr hit that nail on the head, and hit it hard. I hope I'm doing the right thing.

The Coup De Grâce is a fat bolt similar to the AI and in feels a bit like the AI apart from not having to cock on close. The flutes do seem to tolerate lots of dirt. Current design has 0.2mm (0.008 in) of diametral clearance between the bolt and receiver. The bolt does have more support (length/diameter) then our other actions when fully retracted.

We'll be shooting much more over the next couple of weeks so we'll see how goes.

Hi Ted,

I note that the fluting direction in the renders on webpage and the actual bolt shown in some of the CDG videos is opposite, which type would the production actions sport? Personally, I prefer the style of the render, angling towards the bolt head.

I’m planning on a 22GT so I hope PVA runs a deal on CDG OBW prefits once print is released. @bohem

If flutes carry away dirt and cookie crumbs then you would want them to auger away from the breech.

Me too! Was hoping LRI had a reamer but no bueno.

 

[Zilla2u]

I put in an order for one last week. I can't wait to get it and try it out!

 

[PRSDietitian]

For another chassis option, and i'm waiting until these are fielded more, but the Aero Precision comp chassis does look to have an adjustable mag catch and is compatible with AI AW Mags, so that could be an option for folks wanting that option

 

[Awag1000]

I msg'd ARC about the interface with MPA Chassis's (Chassi'?). ARC said they should work no problem however the MPA mag catches may need to be modified to seat properly. FYI

The only thing stopping me from doing it now is that I have not received confirmation from ARC that the tenon print is frozen on development so that I can confidently cut steel to match it. As soon as that happens I can go whole hog on it. I have the current print programmed and proven.

I have an excellent reamer for 22GT as well as 7 twist blanks in stock.

"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.

The CIP long action mag for the 338 Lapua/300 Norma family is different than that for the 300 WM family. Both mags will work in the long action Coup.

Non-CIP lengths mags will probably work as well so long as your chassis or stock is designed for them. Our long action Xylo chassis is designed for CIP length mags only.

The current short action Coup is a target action and will not work with BDL boxes. A lightweight hunting option is forthcoming and will be tested with BDL boxes. We'll know how well it works or doesn't after testing.

Accurate Mag makes short action mags for the WSM and SAUM family of cartridges that will work with the short Coup. https://accurate-mag.com/shop/magazines/300-winchester-short-magnum-dssf-magazine/

Frame of the Hawkins short action DBM in will interfere with the trigger hanger, said frame can be modified to provide clearance without difficulty.

What freebore does your reamer run? Sounds good.

The other popular length is 168 but that seems to be less forgiving once you drop below 80 grain bullets. The 75 and 88 ELDM is stunning in the 150

@bohem Can you preorder a barrel for the CDG and have it pretty much set for when the actions start shipping? Last thing I want to do is, get my actions and then wait another 2-6 more months for the barrels. i know it’s hard to predict a waiting time predicated on not knowing how many barrels people are going to be order through you, but how long after you get the tenon drawing do you anticipate barrels being shipped and delivered? also will you be offering any type of specials for the barrels? Thanks in advance

Group buy with the understanding that barrels won't be spun today but will be put inline with current demand flow as of (today).

 

[patmac 12]

Got my barrel ordered from prefered barrels. Hopefully barrel and action will be in around the same time.

 

[Carole Baskins]

I may have missed it if it's already been addressed, but any thoughts on the bottom lug making contact with the HRD spacer kit?

They said you can preorder your barrel and they'll spin them up once th tenon print is out, correct?

Thanks so much for the update. We exclusively run Hawkins…that being said, would it be possible to provide what and how much needs to be trimmed/milled off the Hawkins for clearance so I can get ahead of the game? Thanks either way!

I have a foundation stock inlet for a Bat VR with M5 bottom metal. Crossing my fingers this setup will work for the CDG I ordered.

I think I might hold off ordering a stock. I had planned to possibly modify my TL3/M5 inlet Foundation, but wanted to try non-M5 bottom metal this time around so I’ve been mulling what to do.

 

[blksno]

I'm leaning hard to a long action Cadex Competition since it will be 99% prone.
Wish manners or foundation made an option with like....+2 or +4 hand guard length for better bipod possition when using a 28-30" pipe

Call Manners and ask for a custom inlet once you know your action size. They do that all of the time or can provide the stock as a flat top for you or your smith to inlet.

Another option is to use a spigot to get the bipod out there for more stability.

Thats what i thought. I remember reaching out to them a day or 2 after Ted announced it and I was making sure that was still the case. Thanks boss.

I might have been wrong about that. I'd really like both short and CIP long action double-stack AW-type mags for the .532 case head family. Does anyone make one? I was laying that out yesterday and it might work fine in this action. I did not find one on either the Mile High or the Accurate Mag website.

Pretty sure a AW-type 338 Lapua is too big but the single stack is fine.

Ted

 

[7mmShooter]

Long action AW mags for .473 and .532 would be great

This might be an option. I think it might be “rear locking” but don’t know if it’s CIP(?)
