As an update to the previous question about AI-AW magazines, they're a definite no go. They seem like they might work and they do ok for a round or two sometimes, but inevitably they bind up pretty badly. The ARC mags worked great in it, used a borrowed one all day (had an issue with a prototype mag spacer kit) and I didn't notice it not CRF at all. The feed lips on that mag were shorter than my Accurate Mag.
it sounded like 6 weeks for me. Maybe longer. Last I talked to them about 5 days ago

got a call from arc a bit ago they are shipping my 223 bolt head!
got my origin notification yesterday and my nucleus notification today. ARC order 2772 2x SA .473 RH, bunch of barlocs and bolt heads as well.
got email today. Ordered 1/23/18, short action std bolt face, right hand, order # 272X, hope this info helps you guys. I have been watching this thread for awhile now and thought I was getting close.
Gonna put my 7 rem mag Proof CF on it, hang a Huber two stage trigger, drop it in a stock to be determined, and top it with my NXS. Will be my LR hunting rifle. So stoked. The barrel shoots half MOA in a Savage action now. From experience with the short action set up, the new action and trigger should shrink the groups even more.
I picked my nucleus up today. It seems as if ARC fixed what my buddy liked to call the "Pussy Finger" problem with the bolt release. His nucleus was an early delivery, and I couldn’t rotate his for the life of me. I have no problem what so ever rotating the bolt release on my action. It is so much better. I just dropped it into my bravo and it feels amazing. It’s my first custom action, but I really really like it. I love the Bravo chassis. The ergos on it are amazing for the price point. And the grip tape I put on it makes a big difference in texture. Well done ARC and KRG.
Now I’m just waiting on my barrel and I’ll be ready to rock. Once the barrel comes in, I’ll throw the Burris XTRii and Vortex rings on top of it and see how it shoots. I really think it’s coming along very well. I’m crazy excited now and can’t wait to finish her up.

What grip tape is that? Did you put the grip tape on the cheek piece too?
It’s talon grip tape. I got it on amazon. Yes I put it on the cheek piece. It feels much better on my skin vs the regular plastic.
That looks like it would begin to hurt after a few shots. You are tougher than I.
Perhaps I don’t know yet. It’s not that tacky. And my facial hair doesn’t doesn’t stick to it. If it does, I’ll let you know.
Nice. I’m putting a Jewell Hunter/Varmint trigger in mine. I may be taking you up on your offer that you and I discussed a while back. My LH Action should ship on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Wow. I had hope he was about caught up. I'll probably be lucky to my barrel by Christmas.
Yeah, I put mine on order in late May and was hoping to see it in the next few weeks, per their quotes.
What’s the difference with barrels if you’re using the Barloc? Pva asks if you’re using it when putting an order together. I’d like to get another proof barrel however. Would any shouldered or savage pre fit using the nut work as long as the threads were right?
Makes sense. Regarding the nut if going savage pre fit, would any savage nut work ? I don’t see any on arc’s site except for the Barloc setup which isn’t a flat surface.
The standard Nucleus recoil lug is flat which would work with a standard (John Hancock) shouldered barrel or a Savage pre-fit style barrel with the Savage barrel nut of your choice.
I don't think ARC will be making a standard type barrel nut for it.

Yes any Savage barrel nut will work. You usually order that with your barrel and not a Action. Only reason to get the Barloc is if you plan on switching barrels often.
The Barloc does make barrel installation way easier than with a normal savage barrel nut. And you don't need a barrel vice, action wrench, or barrel nut wench.
Has anyone figured out what to use for a Nucleus bore guide for cleaning?
I'm looking for something .30 cal with a chamber o-ring and solvent port that will work for .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor. Hopefully it fits snug and works as well as my AR bore guides, Possum Hollow level quality or better.

Im still on the search for this as well, I'd asked previously. Think im going to give ARC a call and see what they reccomend. I use possum hollow guides for all my other rifles so I'd be nice to stick with them. Ive been very happy with there quality.
Was just pulling up my account to see if i had a tracking number assigned yet and noticed that I had shipping charged on my initial order and then had shipping on the final invoice as well. Is anyone else seeing this?
oh derp. yeah. since the two initial charges (also ordered barloks and another bolthead after actions) were credits on the final invoice there was really just one shipping charge.
I was looking up bore guides and lots of people say Lucas is the best but some times hard to get a hold of.
I sent him an email at: [email protected] and he got right back to me.
If anyone wants to go that way, now is probably a good time to email him.

I already contacted them about this, if you ordered a barloc some shipping was applied to the preorder. The balance on the $35 shipping is charged with the final invoice.
