Buy once, cry many times after paying insane taxes and import fees?You know that saying!

I’ll check into the weight. This version uses the AI factory hinge, so anyone with a folding AT or AX can simply debond the backend and swap it with the Vision backend. The plan would be to offer a full replacement with a Vision hinge if there is demand for it.Finally more clear buttstock pics. Does it save weight over the heavy ass ax
We’re working on it, when they’re here Rick at GCP will take care of youNeed one of those vision buttstocks and grip panels in the white
Money is what poor people whine about not having enough ofWhat's money?
Love what you’ve done with the rifle.
the AX buttstock imho is needlessly heavy..and apparently AI agreed too if you look at the AT-X buttstockI’ll check into the weight. This version uses the AI factory hinge, so anyone with a folding AT or AX can simply debond the backend and swap it with the Vision backend. The plan would be to offer a full replacement with a Vision hinge if there is demand for it.
With an AIAT you have to replace the hinge if you want the right hand folder? Too bad ya can’t flip the AT hinge…. No biggie anyway, nothing else is close to the Vision/AO, nothing!I’ll check into the weight.

Not sure, still in the testing phase of machined prototypes, I’ll definitely let everyone know when the production batch is inbound to the US.Realistic timeline on availability and approx cost? Checked the website. No info I could find as of yet. Thanks.
Yes. My thought (could be wrong) is that there will be enough people with ATs wanting to upgrade the buttstock without needing to have it fold over the bolt. Reusing the existing AT folding hinge is the most economical option, still gives the amazing Vision design and features, and stays folding to the weak side like the base folding AT does.With an AIAT you have to replace the hinge if you want the right hand folder?

Anything is possible with enough customer demand. However I’d need an atx chassis in hand to design the mating interface. An even greater consideration is I wouldn’t want to run the risk of spending significant time and money to make a Vision buttstock for the atx only to have AI ship out a ton of folding hinges and ASR back ends in the meantime and have potential customers move on to that option.@samb300 I know you mentioned there won't be any further AT-X support but I'd happily buy a stock for it.
Hinge direction is not a problem for me, so if I carried it folded it would likely be in a pack of some sort. Complete assembly is the grail…Yes.

Those with an AT wanting to have the Vision stock fold over the bolt would either need to source a factory AI hinge that folds to the other direction (which may be damn near impossible for RH shooters), or wait for the full Vision assembly that includes a replacement hinge. As you mentioned, unfortunately the last Gen AT and AX hinge isn’t reversible, that’s something they revised for the AXSR hinge which can be flipped.
It’s the Vision bipod that Christian designed. It’s not available in the US (yet).Love what you’ve done with the rifle.
who’s bipod are you running? And where can I get one?
thanks
I am in for one when they are available.It’s the Vision bipod that Christian designed. It’s not available in the US (yet).

You are exactly right, there are two versions and the “C” model is what you’d want for a chassis forend.It looks like there are two versions of Christian’s/ Vision/ RPS… bipod. The bipod linked to the Aussie website is narrower.
The bipod on Framnsen’s AIAO looks like a “C” or chassis version to cater for wider chassis forends Inc weights to balance that heavy arse AX butt.
Query Sam; if I have a fixed AX308 will the new Vision Buttstock bolt/ (epoxy?) straight up or do you require either an AI hinge or a Vision hinge for the install?
Thx.
Sam thanks for giving us a sneak peak at future versions of Accuracy International rifles! Your innovations continue to sculpt their future rifles.
@samb300
I think GCP did a pretty good job matching the new panels to the original rifle. Loving the grip set up only took me trying every other grio made. Also disregard the thumb rest I'm just playing around with a few positions but honestly thinking about leaving it off.

Great looking rifle.@samb300

Well. She's in route back to NC but Rick at GCP snapped some pics before sending it out. All I can say is wow. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. That barrel is a 28" .223 barrel. Once it gets here, the TT goes on top and a Rifles Refined grip goes on bottom.

I'll post photos with everything assembled once it happens.
Factory AX buttstock = 33.9 ozFinally more clear buttstock pics. Does it save weight over the heavy ass ax
Unfortunately, no. It's a question that's been asked infrequently, and the real answer is there's not enough of a market to justify the significant time and cost it would take to make an AXMC chassis. Of course anything can be done with enough financial motivation, but I don't think anyone really wants to pay what it would take to make a limited run of them.@samb300 , I don’t suppose you and the vision team are planning a chassis upgrade for the AXMC ?
Understood. Thanks @samb300Unfortunately, no. It's a question that's been asked infrequently, and the real answer is there's not enough of a market to justify the significant time and cost it would take to make an AXMC chassis. Of course anything can be done with enough financial motivation, but I don't think anyone really wants to pay what it would take to make a limited run of them.
The chassis is available now, and Rick from GCP is currently in Norway shooting a match and is supposed to be bringing the updated grip panels back with him. As for the buttstock, the design is being finalized and tested, @BLKWLFK9 has one here, so the production version should be ready soon. My guess is a month or two for the buttstocks to make it stateside.Do you by any chance know when the full chassis - including buttstock - will be available for purchase in the US?
I’ll drop mine off at your place and you can use it for measurementsUnfortunately, no.

Can I de-bond it and return it in a pile of parts in 6 months?I’ll drop mine off at your place and you can use it for measurements
That’s the thing I love about you guys, you tend to under state and over perform… I remember asking about the butt stock and the response was probably not for quite a while and boom here it is! That question wasn’t that long ago.

OR… you de-bond it, build an ACMC chassis, and let me have the first one.Can I de-bond it and return it in a pile of parts in 6 months?
Have you been talking to @BLKWLFK9 ?OR… you de-bond it, build an ACMC chassis, and let me have the first one.
I’ll test it for ya.
Lol. Never spoken to them. Just trying to be a good friend and help a buddy outHave you been talking to @BLKWLFK9 ?
What do we have here
For personal recreational use onlyOh snap. Scott is going to pop up over the wall like the ATF meme.
