After a great purge, counseling from members here and an insufferable wait - here is my first proper AI.

I can definitely feel the difference between this and the rifles I've owned before. I read one time, maybe even here, "locks up like a bank vault" and that's definitely how it feels.

Still figuring out a more permanent scope but for the near future here's what I'm working with. First range trip is this upcoming Monday.

With an moa scope....surely you jest sir.....
Nay, nay son, the Lord was changing someone else’s AI, not mine. I cast no judgement upon the unfortunate or misguided. All are welcome to Heaven.

Except Elite Sand owners. Express train to Hell.

😂

Seriously, joking. I cannot remember whose AI it was, but he posted the changeling AI on this very forum.
 
Pics...

Picked these 2 up last month. I need to get optics still, the only spare scope I have was off a .50 I sold so that is just on for fondling purposes.
First time owning an AI in a couple years but I've had 6 or so of these before, wish I didn't sell my first AW! I think someone on here ended up with it and made an AW Covert clone.

They had 6.5 barrels, but I swapped them both to factory AI .308 barrels for now. AT and AX308.

Was it awkward when you stepped up to the line and you and the RO were wearing the same "relaxed tactical" uniform?
We actually coordinated before leaving our shared ABnB pop-up tent that morning. If you aren’t taking the time to get your fashion dialed in, how can you expect to hit anything?

#FashionAtAllTimesBecauseYoureAlwaysUnderObservation
#RelaxedTacticalAndTightRectals
#WhenInDoubtPlaidOut

Side note…that RO was a solid dude. He literally gave up his North Face puffy jacket to drape on the shot up car hood/dash to catch the brass for shooters who wanted to keep theirs. That’s what heroes do.
 
I'm going to hazard a guess on the bottom half. Dad jeans and New balance walkers?

Don't disappoint me with some Kuhl "action casual" and speed crosses....
Like race and color (except dogshit colors like Pale Brown and FDE), I don’t see tops and bottoms.

Merrels #LacesOut

Real men wear jeans. (Secret Tip: Lee’s Extreme Motion jeans move with you, in the tightest of spaces and doggiest of dog houses)
 
I'm fairly sure it was posts from both you and @hafejd30 specifically that pushed me into wanting the thumbhole AT lol.
@Huskydriver ’s AXAT (or is it an ATAX?) is pretty tits too.

I’m thinking of doing this as well to my AX…if you have a takeoff AT folder buttstock laying around hit me up. I think AICS 2.0 rear ends work too.

Any color AT clubfoot-style folder will work but if you do have an AT thumbhole folder collecting dust, sage green would be cool.

Rigs like that are why I'm going to stick around. That literally takes the features I like from both of mine and puts them together without looking like ass.


Next steps - add better 30mm low mount, chop barrel to 16.5" or trade for one that is already short.
