I've had two OEM triggers break, one on my pre-14 AX and one on my AT. Mile High warrantied them no questions, but if they were overtorqued it happened at the factory or Mile High, I never moved them. I eventually replaced them both with flat bows but it was still annoying.

For someone that didn't have the luxury of living 3 miles from Mile High I can see where it would be a nightmare.

 

[Huskydriver]

Don't worry. There are cheap replacements out there for 50 to 60 bucks

Broke the mag catch lever on my axmc being an idiot.... 70 bucks without a pin or spring lol

I should have went with a short bridge instead of a full length....

 

[Bravo6niner]

For what I do that short bridge has enough room to mount the couple clipons I have.

Or have both

Still waiting for my short in the white to come...

I haven't been on this product page for a while so I'm not sure when this note was added. So, we'll see the AI parts in 2026-2027 timeframe then?

I would do unspeakable things for a thumbhole AT in PRC.

Or you could just do one in an axmc like years ago.....

Seriously. Did some load workup in my mc-LE with a sawtooth 6.5prc barrel. 153bergers and 4831

Their newer style guns do absolutely nothing for me, leave the cheese grater front ends on my AR’s. Give me thumbhole or give me death.

Hmmm okay

The actual shoe broke ?

 

[matleez]

Can you put the flat face "comp trigger" shoe on the factory one?

 

[clubsportmark]

Can you put the flat face "comp trigger" shoe on the factory one?

You can indeed.

 

[matleez]

Well hopping on mile high now. Thanks!

 

[M4guru]

The actual shoe broke ?

Yeah, it sounded like it happens from time to time if the dovetails on the trigger bow are oversized and they have to be compressed more than is ideal to stay put on the trigger mech.

 

[Huskydriver]

I'll just add trigger shoe to the list of shit that breaks on the world's toughest military sniper rifle

And mag latch.....sigh

 

[matleez]

I've seen alot of "toughest items" broken by marines. Most things aren't marine proof lol.

 

[Btrain]

Would like some help... Bought a 17 AIAX used that has the Gtac conversion on it. I would like a thumb shelf but understand the anarchy offering wont work with the conversion - right? Best way to accomplish?

Appreciate the thoughts

I'm not really an ACOG fan... But that's about as close as I've found to 'Marine-proof'.

Just returned from shooting mine today. GTAC conversion along with sam’s thumb shelf. No issues at all.

Order away

I saw 60 shooters from a battalion that just got back from AFGAHN with broken collimators. Idk how the fuck it happened.

Ya gotta love Marines, they're... Exceptional.

They have been available for over two years …you just have to know the right people…. or use the search function hahah

I’m familiar with the Trophyhunter/Bugholes conversions, I’d just prefer factory supported/endorsed parts.

It’s only 3 parts and It uses all factory parts..it just open up the bolt face…I would highly recommend not waiting

Barrel, bolt, mag

 

[Bacarrat]

Just about most of the well known smiths on the Hide can spin up a AI barrel for you. I would prefer mine to be a non AI barrel since I can't stand the wrench flats.

Opening the bolt face for a cartridge that's even higher pressure than 6.5CM just doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies.

Hahaha you think a 6.5 prc is endangering the pressure limits of a AI bolt and action Not even close

I’d love to see all the objective analysis you’ve performed and data you’ve collected that distinguishes you as an SME on AI action yield strength

No heavy bolt lift on a 20” 308 with lots of water in the chamber.

But it made a 308 into a belted magnum though, which is pretty Saweeet in my opinion.

We at AI manufacture bolt heads and bolt bodies to our designs. These designs have been tested with barrel block testing to prove they are safe.
The bolt head material is a very high tensile strength steel which is also very expensive. We assemble those components to our process and every bolt is proof tested in a CIP Proof House in England. We have built tens of thousands of these over the years and continue to produce them daily.
If someone outside of AI tampers with one of our bolt heads then that is a safety concern. Our designs will have been changed, it is unlikely they have had barrel block testing and they almost certainly do not undergo proof testing.

Kinda like this one?

 

[samb300]

IIRC AI did show a prototype short action rifle with a 6.5 PRC bolt, or at least mentioned it in a video/comments that it was being tested.

The difference to me, is an aftermarket bolt head versus a factory AI bolt head. Without using a similar high strength steel alloy AND the correct heat treatment, it might not be safe. Even if you took a factory 308 bolt head and machined material away so it could shoot 6.5 PRC, that doesn’t mean it’s safe.

 

[Sniperwannabee]

Of course AI is going to say that, you think AI is going to take liability for other peoples work? And I was talking about a post with the actual psi number, I’ve been shooting mine as well as many others with 0 issues for over a year… if you don’t want to do it that’s fine I was just under the impression you wanted to do the same so I was going to give you some contact info like I’ve done numerous times to others looking to do the short mag conversion.. of course I don’t shoot 6.5 prc I shoot the Lords Caliber ..7 SAUM
