Nice. I'm a sucker for a good looking roll mark.
Huh. Bolt stop looks different.

are you sure the front screw isn't already in the chassis? On krg chassis it is usually captured in the front hole by the forend.
Just picked up my Nucleus and it’s beautiful! Just want to give a heads up to everyone that ordered a barloc (like I did) that they are back ordered so you may not get it with your Nucleus. I called ARC and talked to Justin and he said they ran out of barrel nuts and are about 2 weeks out before the next batch of nuts are done ready to ship. Justin was really helpful answering all my questions (I’m sure I sounded a little irritated) and helping me out.
Here is a link to a really short video on the nucleus bolt throw. I will be posting more videos to that YouTube channel.
gonna be pretty pissed if thats the case as it showed not back ordered on my invoice.
Mine said the same thing on my online one but the physical one with my action said back ordered
Great pics. Sharp looking rig!
Mine said backordered as well. I'm shopping for small shank cut barrel blanks so the extra fees weeks are setting me back.
Additionally if someone has a criterion prefit, I would be curious as to how they work and if the protrusion issue that was brought up in the other thread is actually going to need additional machine work.

Ok I have my action, something strange is happening after I installed the trigger. It might be something I'm not doing right, thought I would post here before I call ARC and bug them because maybe I'm just a dummy.
I installed a brand new Timney Calvin Elite. When I dry fire, there is a very weak click, not a normal dry fire solid thump. Also I don't see the firing pin at the end of the bolt. So I put the trigger in a R700 action to test it there and it dry fires just fine, trigger seems ok. Put it back in the Nucleus and nothing. I pulled the firing pin assembly out of the back of the bolt (watched Ted's video to see how) and the pin is there. Any ideas on what to look for or what I might have done wrong before I call the shop? It's just a weak, barely audible click.
I have a factory Rem 700 trigger, I'll go put that in the Nucleus and try it real quick.

Might be striker drag on the sear...not sure how close to a M700 cocking piece the Nucleus is. It could have teething issues on some triggers. Reminds me of the TL3 and B&A TacSport
Hmmm, ok I just put the factory Rem700 trigger in the Nucleus and it works fine.
So, The Timney is not working in the Nucleus but works in the Remmy, The factory Remmy trigger works in the Nucleus.
contact timney they seem to be pretty active about fixing the issue and should get you parts asap. ill let everyone know how my triggertech works
Did you get a Timney with the bolt release or without? Not sure if they even offer but I would be curious if that has anything to do with it. I ordered a Jewell trigger without bolt release. Let us know what Timmney says please. Good luck.
yes i got the nut version. sss barrel installed and headspaced using the tape method
It has it but that's not affecting this issue.
A friend more familiar with bolt actions recommended that I try something. So I cocked it, then backed out the sear adjustment screw to see if the pin would drop. It would not and I backed it out all the way. I figured out that I can get the pin to drop if I cock it, then push with my finger hard on the cocking piece so there is definitely some drag in there.
@hereinaz , what trigger are you using?
Just put my trigger tech special in and it seems like its great. very happy so far.
Definitely let us know. I'm wanting to put a BnA TacSport two stage in mine.
Did you get that Hawk Hill Savage directly from Hawk Hill or did your gunsmith do it for you?
are you just tightening the nut hand tight - is it just for aesthetics ?
I am running a Huber, two stage with the bottom safety. It is my first Huber, and it is awesome. I just pinned it in the rifle and away I went. Works perfectly.
You gotta torque the barrel nut, or it will come loose. I had one of my Savages do it once, and only once. Fortunately Darwin didn't catch me.
I don't believe it will be an issue, because the barrel does not thread into the Nucleus action as far as in a Savage by the appearance. I had extra thread on the Nucleus, that I didn't have with the Savage short action.
I will measure the threads of a Criterion prefit to the Shillen prefit. I have both in my mancave.
Barloc has a a cool little wrench. I'll post a video tomorrow explaining it. Basically, you just get the nut snug, so that when you tighten the clamp ring, it forces the barrel nut away from the recoil lug, cause they both have a ramp and the clamp ring has an opposing ramp.
If it is just a straight Savage barrel nut on a Savage prefit, you would use the barrel nut wrench like NSS sells. There are a ton of videos showing how to swap a Savage barrel. It is the same for a Nucleus.
Looks like it's right along the ejection port? I'll hopefully have mine in hand Thursday. Just waiting on the barrel from PVA which should be shipping this week also. Everything else is on hand and ready for assembly.
I started another thread to torture all the guys waiting for actions. Post pics of your build there if you want. I like the look of yours!
Assuming their 3 prototypes were 1, 2, and 3 and on the same set of numbers as production, you could potentially have the second production ready Nucleus ever made. Even if they restarted for production and began with zero, way cool!
Fixed the trigger! I figured out (by googling) that the top front screw is an overtravel adjustment. I backed it out 1/4 turn and now the pin drops like normal everytime.
Now I'm just waiting for the action wrench.

I loaded one dummy 6xc. No issues with feeding from my chassis.
The extractor is beefy, so I am not used to the force necessary when single feeding, to force the extractor over the case head.
When feeding from a mag, beautiful. It doesn't fully snap over the casehead until almost chambered.
I'll have to remember the extra force required to chamber a hand fed round. It is necessary often enough to be a factor if not properly chambered.
Measurement from the rear of the tang to the end of the action is about 7.7 inches. From the center of the rear action screw, it is about 7.4 inches. The Barloc measures 1.28 from the rear of the lug to the front of the barrel nut.
mine had issues with magpul mags when i first put it together. probally cycled my dummies threw 20 or so times and now its butter.
I stand corrected.
The Barloc DOES headspace a 6xc Criterion and Shillen prefit in both the Nucleus and Savage action.
The pic show how much space remains when the barrel is threaded down all the way onto a 6xc cartridge in a Savage action.
The other pic shows the length of threads on a Criterion. My other Shillen was almost identical.
