25th of June?? FFUUUUUUUUUUCCKKK nah. Its been 100 deg 2 days this week already. lol. Im done beating myself up in the heat, homey. IDK what match is on the 25th anyway. Real talk, it will probably be Sept before i shoot another match. It is going to be some real moons aligning for me to shoot above 85deg from now on. I honestly can't take heat like i use to. Cold, im good to go, but heat has fucked me for the past 2 years. What match is it?
1 day at Paul's. He's got a mover now which spices up life a bit.

Weather will break, even today it only hit 91 when we were supposed to be 101. Either way my rule is 1 bottle of water per stage minimum, I don't allow myself to move on until it's done. Also with his newly built covers for ROs and shooters it's been bearable. I can at least tolerate it for 1 days...2 days is another story.

Question.. I received my AXSA today. And I notice on the barrel it reads 308 1-10. Does it mean it’s a 1:10 twist? Though not a problem at all if it is. Is just that I was anticipating it be 1:12 as advertised. Btw, this rifle is sexy asf! Thanks to this great thread. With all the bad influences and peer pressure that landed me a new 26” .308 ES AXSA. No regrets at all! Thanks!

AT LW .308 barrels are 1:12. AX Bartlien .308 Barrels are 1:10. Yes yours is a 1:10.

Same. I work outside in the heat all day. I'm shooting one last match this month and then will be done until it starts to get cooler out. Had one guy this past weekend get heat exhaustion at the match. He ended up finishing the day and won. But it's too damn hot for me. I'll just go practice in the mean time

Hydrate too
Hydrating is for the weak and talentless.

Amateur... I just go 'til I pass out now & wait for that ice cold silver bullet to bring me back around.

Just noticed that there are some new AWs coming available soon.


Just incase anyone wants to go old school AI.
 
I would imagine they are under contract for spares and repairs of the thousands of older systems still in use so it's probably a lot easier to screw and glue a few actions together from existing stock, than engineering a new bolt and magazine systems. I was lucky enough to visit factory and there's a lot going on and not exactly 100s of staff.

That said I would rather they concentrate on a magnum bolt face for the short actions than 223, at least i could get one out of the UK.
 
The allure to an AW over an AT or AWM over axmc/asr is the nostalgia of it being an older rifle from a different time, that was ahead of its time. And the simple fact that they don't make them anymore. I would buy an old AW in a quick second for the right price. I ain't buying a "new AW" in AT skins over an AT. It's just an AT without QC at that point.
 
If I could find some spare skins for my old AW's, I'd do a little rattle canning. Think I'd choose pumpkin color in honor of ski.

He really has a love/hate relationship for AI.
 
Well damn.. I just ordered one this ABR last night for my ax..
Oh well. Maybe my next AI.. 😂

Weekend is here. Figured I take some photos and contribute to this thread. I guess this makes it to the AI club? I also got a few things to install that I purchase during the wait time of delivery. Hopefully to install the TT on Spuhr mount today also. I’m deciding if I should run my FP Raptar S on this rifle too. Right now it’s on my gas gun (MR556). Well it was on there, already took it off. I have one of those adjustable bag riders on the way too. Oh btw, does anyone put a torque value on the barrel after tightening besides the clamping screw? I’m thinking of putting a 2lbs over hand tight just to be consistent. I’ll post what torque I come up with.

I just screw it on to where it stops, and then torque my grub screw to 49in/lb and shoot it. The zero is repeatable and I have yet to have an issue in several thousand rounds/ several hundred barrel swaps.

I ordered one straight away too - look great.

Hey lads - does anyone have any pics of an AX with a thumbhole rear?
Here’s a thumbhole on an AX AICS; same principle.

All you need is a a standard hinged butt skeleton and all the plastic pieces. You’ll also be changing from a right folder to a left folder, so you’ll have to disassemble, drill and tap the chassis for the male portion of the latch mechanism when it folds to the left.
