Caution: if the bolt locking pin rotates at all, it won’t be able to move into the head piece. There’s a tiny tab on the side of the locking pin that needs to be aligned just right to reassemble the cocking piece into the bolt. If the locking pin can’t depress, the cocking piece won’t compress enough to rotate and lock into the bolt body.
You're absolutely right about that. I did cover it in another video but I probably should have covered it in this one as well. See ua-cam.com/video/6PQ7rAcMwJM/v-deo.html at 3 min 55 sec. Ted
Ted can you please make a video showing and describing the difference and similarities between the lightweight and standard Coupe De Grace? Thank you for this video, we all look forward to new videos, your expertise, engineering and enthusiasm is what makes your rifle receivers so excellent.
The lighter weight version uses a different receiver. I opened the top of the receiver to remove mech of the mass associated with the rail. Everything else is the same.
Reminds me somewhat of my Sako extractor. But I scratch my head about the CDG extractor spring. Having conceptual trouble with how it works. But I AM confidant that it does work!
OK, so I have a question: I received a replacement parts kit for the extractor with a pin, and a shorter spring than the original one I had that came with a black extractor, a small ball, and a slightly longer spring. The new pin that comes with the new extractor has a beveled edge on one side and a flat edge on the other side. Which direction does the beveled end go?
Good question and an excellent eye for detail. I always install the pin with the tapered (chamfered) end towards the spring. I've tried it both ways and did not notice a difference but the tapered end towards the spring seems to be more correct in my mind. Ted
Ted you’re the damn 🐐. Not sure of any other custom guys or any period really that put that much effort into showing the customer every little thing

Got mine 3 months ago and it’s been my favourite action so far!

@@AmericanRifleCompany thank you Ted

On second viewing it’s now obvious how it works.

I got a short action coming in, hopefully in January.
Does it have a saftey
The safety will be part of the Remington 700 style trigger assembly, someone correct me if I’m wrong.
How many different calibers can you fire out of the same action with a barrel change out?
Ted, what chassis did you use for the assembly?
This is the action I choose to sell barreled actions with my name on it.
would love to have the money to build off your action but my financial situation is no longer what it was, great work though!!
Yo Ted it’s Nik
Yo Nik, it's Ted.
