Well that's a good point. I'm sure when you start your own company you can implement that sales strategy and see if it works well for you. Given your other three questions, maybe a bolt gun off the shelf with a warranty is a good route.

Are you gonna bring it over this way after you get it?
I wanna run my BBQ stained fingers all over it.
Sure. You can polish the red knob.
Whoa whoa whoa. Take it to PM's you two.
Looks like the ARC crew has been keeping an eye on us hoodlums in this thread.
Noticed the long actions that shipped now have the trigger hanger notched for the safety. A+

Interesting, the trigger pins appear to not be pointed anymore and now there are locating tabs on the trigger hanger itself. Looks like Ted has been tweaking things again. Are those trigger pins wider than the hanger, or do the pins sit flush with the hanger now and the tabs on the hanger hold it in via the square cuts in the action?
It's hard to tell in your picture so I bumped up the brightness, but it looks like the action now has 2 sets of cuts inside, one set of V cuts in line with the trigger pins for the protruding pointed pins and another set of deeper square cuts for the new tabs on the trigger hanger.
It appears your action is compatible with the earlier design trigger hangers that lack the tabs but use the longer protruding pointed pins, while earlier actions that don't have those lower square cuts for the tabs on the newest trigger hanger can only use the older smooth sided trigger hangers and the longer pointed pins.
I understand revising the hanger for more safety lever clearance for different triggers, but I wonder what the reasoning was for the design change adding the 4x tabs and not using the protruding pointed trigger pins...

I have 3 week old twins. I know all about that. Yum
It’s not much, just a little bit for my morning coffeeeasy there turbo, don't be cutting in on their chow.
Well, that was an interesting...if somewhat disgusting...aside. LOL
Poor Bella. She's clearly reading this thread, in an attempt to help with questions and issues, and this is the stuff she's gotta deal with.
I thought about that too, However I'm sure she was fully briefed, given some anti-sensitivity training, and fully aware the content she might be exposed to.
Like a mental condom.I'm told, "women are worse than men", but I have a hard time believing that.
Good point. My apologies to Bella for my off color remark. (See what I did there?)
Welcome to the loony bin @BellaARC Hopefully you can put up with the nonsense and provide some valuable intel on the ARC CDG front.
Thanks again
Thanks again
So, I eat crayons. And this is my first bolt action build. My only other bolt gun is a Ruger American Ranch. I'm trying to get the trigger set up. I think I got it, but the bolt feels heavy to close based on everyone talking about how light it is. What should I be feeling with it properly set up?
I think I've watched that 20 times now lol. The lift feels heavy after the trigger is pulled. When it's cocked, its a lot more smooth. I don't *think* I have cock or drop on close.
Thanks Gingerman for talking me through it! Gonna get the package put together and get it to the range and see what happens.
That’s because you’re cocking it when you open/lift the bolt after firing. You don’t need to pull the trigger for this tuning. You’re looking to minimize the notchy feeling and and associated drop or catching when opening and closing the bolt.

Starting my Coup de Grace journey. Sent this bucket of parts off to LRI the other day.
Doesn't look like anything some Elmers white glue couldn't fix.
my 16in 1/8 twist Desert Tech factory barrel was my most accurate 308win rifle. Better than my AI and other 700 clones.
208 amax/eld-m, lapua 200 fmjbt subs, smk 220, hornady 225 bthp - all very good choice with Lapua brass and Trailboss. 190 SubX are very accurate but not quite as good as the LeHigh offerings for terminal performance. SMK 240 also a solid choice.
Supersonic it was still very accurate with anything from the 150s to the 185s. Even played with the 208 amax loaded at 2.980 with RL17 but the extra recoil was not worth it for me.
I just put together a Mausingfield with a 20” 8 twist 30-06 barrel, plan is subs and 165 to 180gr monos for hunting. Stole the stock for my CDG so once I get a replacement I plan to do some testing.
Good to hear. Was going to try to make some 168 ABLRs work supersonic. They expand down to 1300 fps. Got a drawer full of 220 smk for subsonic fun/target/squirrel work.
Just received my shipping notice for RH LA action - order placed on 2/11

Hell yeah! I ordered my RH LA on 2/11 @2000hrs getting pumped! This is the last piece of the puzzle for me.
This would look better. (I don't have one on order but I've been here since the beginning).
Fixture one end the vise, torch the middle, pull or push the other end to form the angle?
Or maybe just eat your Wheaties.
