Love this thing. AT with a 6.5CM Maddco barrel.
Actually, yeah - mine slipped this week with the sling fitted, it was finger tight. Hasn't happened before.View attachment 8027070
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.

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.

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.
2600 out of a 20”.Any one shot Berger 185 hybrid in .308 1-10 t on the AI? If so, what kind of velocity we’re you getting?
Nice.. I’ll try them. Be shooting out from a 26”. Using Palma cases, maybe able to push the velocity little more. I’d be happy with 2600 anyways.2600 out of a 20”.

10 degrees here in VA by Quantico. We usually don't get this cold until late January. It will pass in a couple days and we're supposed to be back in the 40's next week. Ranges will be closed until Jan 7th, so I have plenty of free time on the weekends.We not geared for this in NC
70 next week. My barn heater couldn't keep up this morning.We not geared for this in NC
Have you ever tried just...idk... not being wrong?All I want are left handed AI models to be in stock. Short actions pleaaase AI CMON.
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.Have you ever tried just...idk... not being wrong?

I just want them to import some LH models
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.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.

You can still shoot….. but have to eject the brass with cleaning rod. Same sh*t happed to me before lol.When you drive 1.5 hours to shoot your cool new 7mm PRC barrel and bring the 338 bolt.

PM sentSo 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 faceSo I don't have to sort through dozens of pages, can someone make my life easy.

Yes, I've experienced this with their 140 ELDMs and 6CM 108 ELDMs - some lots were great, some were terrible.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.

Show me on the doll where the AI touched you.Ai, one of the most over rated rifles in the world.
Over priced, over rated & under performing.
No use trying to down play. Look at the facts, they speak for themselves.Show me on the doll where the AI touched you.
What facts are those? Im not being facetious, I honestly want to know your reasoning.No use trying to down play. Look at the facts, they speak for themselves.

You really need to explain yourself there mate. Why are they a disgrace? Do you own one? Have you owned one? What was wrong with it? EtcFor the price they demand, the rifles are an absolute disgrace.
