So there I was…in the desert…finally getting to take the AXSR out after waiting years to feel the sweet snuggle nudge of recoil…and I look down after less than 30 rounds through a brand new rifle to see this.

About 15rds in I noticed the retaining pin was out of place just a smidge so I pushed it back in. I shoot a few more…When I go to transition (#ZimZerZoom) to standing, I look down as I reach for it and see this.

Anyone else with an AXSR stock run into this? I just slapped some duct tape on it and secured the parts in a pouch, but was curious.

This comes after a 308 mag being out of spec, which MH took care of with a replacement in like two days.

Actually, yeah - mine slipped this week with the sling fitted, it was finger tight. Hasn't happened before.

It can't be too tight or you can't adjust it, if it's too loose it could slip apart like yours.

I'd say man, adjust it to where you want it to be length / height wise then snug the bolts right up. You won't be able to cam-over the lever then, but they'll stay tight longer.

Oh yea both of those bolts were a bit loose so I snugged them down just right but this was actually the retaining pin for the release lever. The little (non-adjustable) retention pin that the lock release pivots on in order to unlock the latch. [pin is the little black piece next to the rear bag]

A little range time before a 50 degree drop in temperature.
She's boringly accurate.

When you're a old tech, that amount of bolts, and parts is very minor compared to when you are taking apart a car or truck. Only hard part is the mag catch, since I needed a 3rd hand to tap down the roll pin. Surprisingly, it's actually a very easy gun to take apart.

Have you ever tried just...idk... not being wrong?
Tbh I’ve actually thought about spending a year attempting to learn to shoot bolt guns right handed, but fuck that’s just a lot of work when EVERYONE else makes lefty bolt guns. I run impact actions for PRS and a defiance for a hunting rig.

I just want them to import some LH models :(

I have 2 of them an AT and an MC.

They will import some but be prepared to jump on them when they’re available. They go fast

Are you left eye dominant or left hand? If left I then I completely understand but it might be worth picking up a really cheap 22lr and trying to get used to a right handed gun if it's just a hand preference.
 
So I don't have to sort through dozens of pages, can someone make my life easy.

How much is the bug holes 233 conversion and what all is needed for me to get it done? Also, for someone like me who machines his own barrels is there a spec or print for me to cut or do I have to do bugholes? Or is someone willing to send me theirs to get measurements.

the bolts are hard to come by, this is the current bottleneck. Bolt head installed on your bolt $275, installed on a bolt I provide is over $1k as a new bolt (with fire control) is 800 or so. The tenon is non standard geometry, so it would be better if we did the barrel. There’s a cone feature on the breech face

Thank you for that!
 
Any of the 6.5 shooters on here finding the same inconsistency issues as me with Hornady 140 eldms of late?

I buy one lot number and it’s a one hole .3- .5 moa max shooter. The next lot of ammo is barely moa. This is through my AX.
Yes, I've experienced this with their 140 ELDMs and 6CM 108 ELDMs - some lots were great, some were terrible.

I haven’t seen the accuracy change wildly like that. But I have seen the bearing surface change enough to affect velocity. I have an old lot that was 2725fps and new lot is 2770fps with everything else reloading being equal.

I had a couple lots during covid with 90+ FPS ES

ETA: the 140gr ELD-Match factory hornady ammo, not just the bullets.

Referring strictly to value for money, what does an AI offer in terms of reliability over a Tikka or Howa?
What metric are you using to determine "value for money"? Reliability in what conditions? There are alot of questions you aren't asking or even answering from people mate. Now you are going and calling people names too. Just not necessary at all. You can't expect to come onto this particular thread and attempt to smash AI rifles without any actual explanation or experience. It is ok to no own an AI or even be able to afford one. There is a rifle for everyone and their uses or hip pocket. You are providing zero value to the thread.
