Accuracy International Picture Thread

Out for a few pics! May actually order the 260 barrel today. Been talking with Manzella. If I do I’ll ditch the 6.5 barrel I think.

It’s ice fishing season now. I do my reloading, gun maintenance etc in the winter. Other than that I’ll start load testing in the spring
Hook a brother up on the 6.5 barrel if you go to the 260. Been itching

And ice fishing? You had me at hello lol

I just sent out my spare 260 stick to get cut down for suppressed use. A bit redundant to have both that and 6.5 but it didn't make sense to have two long 6.5 rigs.
 
After a broken 3/8th breaker bar and a trip to home depot for a 1/2in breaker; I managed to pop off my old 300wm barrel that had over 1800 rounds. Bartlein 26in chambered by GAP. It still shot ok, groups a little over 1in. This new barrel is also a Bartlein by GAP that I got off a fellow hide member. Shoots pretty decent with old ammo from the last barrel!

Been a long journey to get every part from scratch. New action. 20" 300wsm and multiple 20" 6.5PRC bull barrels. Opening up bolt face. Vision Chassis and backend in AI DE. Fixed back end chassis to stock pieces and also a folding hinge. Rear action screws had to be sourced and machined to fit. Brass washers for action spacers. Mag catch and pins. Folding plunger, etc, etc. The effort into this has been large with support from many other folks. Grip for the aluminum skins are all that's left. Dominus K SR ready to go. Tangent Theta will top off.

I just want to thank @MOUNTIC for donating me this setup. You're cooler than the other side of the pillow!

Just waiting for it in the mail.

Really, he’s an amazing person who will no doubt go straight to heaven when (and if) he so chooses. Rumor has it the Dali Lama looks up to him and attends his yearly retreats. Jesus phones him up for tips. Peace out.
 
Obligatory photo with the new CNVD-LR. The flip cover for the Impact 4000 is pretty slick from MK Machine.

18" 6.5CM Bartlein inside the ATX.

I'm pretty sure he's got a bit of stuff on his plate but I wonder if Chad @LRI would be a little tempted with some of these bolt jobs. He's turned out some impressive stuff, I'm sure a 1 or 2 piece AI bolt body would be like fixing breakfast for him.
I'm working on getting an AT-X bolt modeled right now. Will be at least another week or two before it is close to done. I don't want to take the bolt fully apart so I cant model the bolt head and body separately but It'll be as good of a model as you can get without doing that.

I don't have the ability to manufacture them but if someone has the capabilities I'd be willing to share the CAD file as long as something is done with it.

Until I die, this all cost $3,000… 🤣
"Listen, honey, I got a fantastic deal here. Its an investment, really. I only paid three grand but in reality it's worth a little more than that. If you and the kids decide to sell it after I'm gone, get it all appraised first. These are pretty rare and always going up in value."

My wife was with when I bought my AT. Told her I wouldn’t find a rifle like this for cheaper ever and should jump on it. Based on current prices it’s turned into a great investment

$3000

You can tell her it's worth over 5k now..... at least that is one delusional guy thinks his AT is worth on the FS section. lol

Haha I saw that

There’s is an ATX creeping to the low 3’s there now. Figure that won’t last much longer

Mines getting buried with me. So what it’s worth makes no difference to me. But AI prices certainly don’t seem to go down very often

Unless you have an ATX or pre 14 AX at the moment. The pre 14’s are almost given away now
