[QUOTE="HOLLYW00D, post: 1752448, member: 106473"] Yep. There were some kinks to work out on the first few preorders, but ARC was quick to react and rectify. Although, from those kinks, modifications were made to the design to improve the function of the action (more leverage from the lever). Also, it's pretty nice that there are different length cocking pieces available for a drop-in trigger timing solution. You're right. We may never be able to quantify if, and by how much, the fulcrum/lever handle would aid in the hypothetical (for me, at least) scenario above. In my eyes, it just seems like it has a foot up on the traditional bolt actions in the aforementioned scenario. If nothing else, a peace of mind. If the rim rips off, I sure hope I end up using better brass on my next go-around. :) I am experimenting: I have a Schlage lock pin/spring kit from which I sourced a t-pin top spring, stretched it out a bit, and have replaced the shroud locking pin spring. Preliminary tests are quite favorable, to me. It virtually eliminates the need for any kind of momentum to rotate the bolt closed when running the bolt slowly, without eliminating the function of the locking pin. The bolt cycles telepathically. I'm a huge fan of this action. Now, just need more barrels. [/QUOTE]
