Anyone here know of anyone who makes a rubber pad that covers the AXSR 308 mag’s baseplate? To keep it from cracking when reloading over rocks/concrete? I coulda sworn I seen a post with some sort of rubber baseplate thing on some mags a year or two ago.
That's odd. How was the bolt head damaged? It's kinda weird they told you to just replace it without them even seeing it. It is understandable that they wouldn't warranty any work not done by them, though.No, they just told me to purchase a whole new bolt body, and made sure to tell me I'd void my warranty if I did any work on it myself. I obviously disregarded.
If ya don't find what you seek my dude, let me know, we've got a nice Markforged printer at work I could commandeer for a 'special assignment' (thanks @derek1ee for the idea).Anyone here know of anyone who makes a rubber pad that covers the AXSR 308 mag’s baseplate?

YesI keep hearing guys mention that the AW mags are hard to find. Is there a shortage or something?
That explains a lot...LOLI am left handed. Once I realized no gun company gives AF about lefts I switched to shooting right handed.
If that’s the folder do yourself a favor and get the AO thumb rest

Paging the left handed man himself @Nik HEuroptic has some axsr left hand bolt bodies in stock. FYI.

Its called applying lessons learned or buying insurance. I know I will buy the rifle soon so I bought not only every bolt body but also a spare firing pin shroud assembly
I can fix that for youCorrect.
The only thing that keeps me from buying it tomorrow is knowing that at some point they will release a sage-green version

Is the installation of an AX buttstock on an AT very difficult?
If I can figure it out, you got this broIs the installation of an AX buttstock on an AT very difficult?
It’s a nice looking range but my tinnitus acts up just looking at it sheeshDid some additional stress testing of pfl338's AXSR/AXMC AICS mag collar design today, ran 100 rounds with 5 round string pairs at speed (i.e. as quickly as I could run the bolt and reacquire the target) out of a polymer MDT 308 mag in the AXSR. Not just from bench seated, but also off of a bag with weight into the front of the magazine. Ran flawless without any issues. I now have 3 MDT polymer mags with these collars on them and they will be my primary short action magazines for the AXSR.

Hey man it looks like you have 5.56, 308, and a magnum bolt heads here. Are these short action bolts or ASR? I’d like to run mangum (saum or PRC) and 556 in my ATX but I’m not aware of that being possible. Let me know if I’m wrong.Isn’t 3 better than 1?View attachment 8390215

How to vandalize your AT rifle with AE Mk 2 skins:
Strip AT rifle, remove all flush cups because we don’t need no stinkin’ flush cups, mark cuts for skins with tape.

Hey! One of the skin screws won’t pass through the chassis fore end! Use a 1/8” transfer punch to mark it.
View attachment 8352837
And drill a 15/64 hole because that’s what all the other holes in the chassis are.
View attachment 8352838
To be continue
AT rifle vandalism, continued.
I’ve got a drill press in the garage but it’s crowded out there what with the nice car that’s never seen rain or salt on the trickle charger and all, and I think I’m out of propane for the heater anyhow.

Anyway, it’s more fun to drive 10 minutes to your buddy’s machine shop and watch him drill holes in your chassis on his Bridgeport.
He’s not a gun guy at all but he’s knocked out by the interrupted threads in the receiver for the barrel.

I go home and assemble my shit. Everything is going swimmingly until I function check the rifle.
The trigger is stuck solid and won’t budge. Upon further investigation, I discover the mount for the trigger shoe is hanging up on the skins at the top of the skin’s trigger opening.

The triangle shaped piece at the top rear of the trigger opening has to go. Razor saw:

I had him counter bore the “stupid idea” early fore end for the counter sunk screw mounting of the late fore end. Maybe this summer I’ll debond the fore end and switch over to the early front sling swivel style.
Probably about the same time I pop off these skins and DuraCoat them OD green. It’s too cold to paint with that nasty stuff now.

Edited to add- this mod will work with AICS skins, too.
With the AICS, you’ll have the big square bolt opening for the R700.
You won’t have to modify the trigger opening because that’s already done.
This is because the rear action mounting bolt opening is at the rear of the trigger opening.
BeautifulFinally got a decent enough day in Northern Virginia to spray some DuraCoat WWII OD green on the vandalized skins for my AT.

Yes for the short actions. Currently I have 7saum and 300wsm and 223 barrel for my AT. Check with bugholes/spr for the 223 conversion. @MOUNTIC also posts them up every now and then too.

Question about SA Magnum choices for the AIAT….I sent my extra bolt to Fritz this morning. I mostly see 6.5PRC or 300 WSM is one better than the either? Any different suggestions to consider? I run a DeadAir Sandman S on my AT if that makes any difference….
Happened to me with the CDG thread among others, recently.Anyone else suddenly stop getting notifications for threads they watch? Only ever happens with this thread
Thanks bigfoot. I contacted bugholes and they only do the .223 conversion. Nothing for magnum and no plans for magnum. Where did you get your magnum setup?Yes for the short actions.

In the px. They pop up every so often. If you source a 308 bolt I believe guys are having them modified by black canyon customs now.Thanks bigfoot. I contacted bugholes and they only do the .223 conversion. Nothing for magnum and no plans for magnum. Where did you get your magnum setup?
ATs are very pickyMy scope decided to divorce my AT @Huskydriver
I’m gonna put a red dot and magnifier on it for the time being since it’s only a 308
any reviews of the .223 in operation? is the juice worthe the squeeze?Yes for the short actions. Currently I have 7saum and 300wsm and 223 barrel for my AT.

The 223 aics doesn’t feel as smooth as the aw mag which is to be expected. I’ve had an issue with one mag but other than that it’s been 100%. The barrel I received from bugholes is my most accurate of all my AI barrels shooting the 80.5 Berger’s. Now my AT usually stays in 223.any reviews of the .223 in operation? is the juice worthe the squeeze?
