I’m back baby. Been through it the last couple years. Sold the ASR kit and now I’m back with an AXSR. Bought this second or 3rd hand girl here on the hide but she suits me. Oddly I prefer the paint on this to the paint on the ASR. That federal brown was shiny. This DE is flat. I like the flat.

I need to find a few things:

- 20 inch barrel (300NM or 6.5CM preferred)
- 22 inch barrel (6CM, 6.5CM, 7PRC or 300NM)
- bipod. Thinking of going TBAC but sold out everywhere it seems. Don’t like accutac, I’m still an old school Harris fan so may end up there for now till I can get a TBAC.
-Mlok forend
- short forend. I want to be able to run a 16 inch or 14.5 barrel. Need a shorter forend for that. If anyone has a lead on that or the Mlok forend I’d sure appreciate it.

I've got 2 atlas cals I'd like to offload if that interests you. Oddly enough I always end up back on a harris.

Got barrel chopped to 17” and threaded 9/16x24 for the old Tac Ops can. Zco is mounted but the rings are super low so I’ll get it swapped to the Spuhr mount when it comes in Friday and hopefully finally shoot it and the xc this weekend.

I really miss the older, blockier Spuhr mounts.

In particular, the really long ones which held on to the scopes further from the knobs.

I also miss the classic form factor of the Arctic Warfare Super Magnum.

But that’s just me…

“Hit it with your purse” gang was right. Talked to MHS and they said the same thing. Jewelers file and a few stones later it’s in the rifle. Very surprised how soft it shoots. First 10 rounds down the tube, and the last un-suppressed rounds it’ll see.

Always good when the problem isn’t as bad as first thought. Love those types of problems.

I think your talking about the 6518 contour. Has a really short breech length and then a quick taper down to like .900" diameter and it's .900" at the muzzle correct?

That contour would be lighter than a M40 contour.
Click to expand...
Yeah, that’s it if you’re talking about the lighter AI barrel contour. My factory 20” 308 has a real short breach length and tapers fast down to .88” at the threaded shoulder. Thanks!!

Not sure what/who's #5 contour you are talking about.

I looked at the photos I received prior to the trade and believe it possibly occurred in shipping. However the box does not appear damaged. At this time I don’t believe anything nefarious has happened on the other party’s end.

Edited to include photo.

What sucks is that $1 of filament and 1.5hrs of print time on a 3D printer could have prevented it 😞

Alright, I'm doing another round of invites to the Accuracy International Fan Club Discord Server. It's been built up into a rather nice place and with some wonderful members. There's a good chunk of you folks here on it so far but this is for anyone else who's been on the fence, or haven't had a chance. Happy Easter!

Flat trigger gang. This trigger has been on my work bench for 2 years all alone waiting for a new rifle to go on. One of the best upgrades. But only if you love flat triggers like I do.

The one offered by @pfl338 with the little straight lip at the bottom is even better. I love a flat trigger shoe.

thats the catch 22 with the AX rear end. its higher than the old AICS chassis, but i always liked the old chassis height because i think where your scope is mounted now is how it should be, or its a more ideal location. getting that scope as low to the bore as possible is a big plus and why many of us like to the old AICS chassis cheek weld

I've heard this a number of times over the years, what's the advantage of a lower scope or where does it really benefit you? I've always run a taller scope and never felt like my height over bore mattered unless I was shooting in a cattle gate or something else weird...

Oh boy... The tall scope gang is simply NOT going to be able to let this stand...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Just because something works for you doesn't mean that it is correct. The advantages of a taller scope have been documented in many different threads. I tried it and have never looked back. It is very dependent on your anatomical build.

i like it lower because when shooting, i feel it helps you control the recoil better as everything is closer to being in line. but maybe its just a comfort thing. i did feel comfortable shooting my AX, it was just different.

and correct me if i am wrong, but a higher height over bore will mean you need more elevation dialed at range. maybe it doesnt matter to some folks.

i can get down lower on the AICS cheek and as long as my LOP is set well, i can be very comfortable. i feel its more when shooting prone, and a higher one is more comfortable when shooting from a bench.

If you're shooting 308 @ 1000 yards (Federal Tactical Tip 168 grain bullets), the difference is pretty small

Total sight height of 3.35" (1.93" Mount/ring height) has a correction of 11.20 mils
Total sight height of 2.65" (1.23" Mount/ring height) has a correction of 11.37 mils

That is about 5" of elevation at 1,000 yards. A more efficient bullet would be even less.

Man, if y'all are sensitive about 1/2 an inch (1.0" "low" rings vs 1.5" "NV clip-on height" rings) then I worry about you muppets.

We haven't done "scope as close to the barrel as possible" as a standard since the 1990s. And even then, it was about heigh-over-bore for accuracy sake. Now that we got these fancy gadgets called Kestrels and other ballistic computers that can compensate for a height-over-bore of 2.75" (ref: AT308 High Action Rail with SPUHR SP-5002 used as example) from the center of the action to the center of the scope, it's moot, especially when these rifles have at minimum 20 MOA built into their bases already.

I use Breakthrough Clean Solvent. If I had to though, I'd use Automotive Brake Cleaner. Fast and easy way to clean barrels too; a trick I picked up from Phoenix Weaponry in Colorado. Use a microfiber cloth to wipe it down. I then use Shooters Choice FP10 for the bolt and to clean/treat the barrel. It's less messy than grease.

Tall scope mounts/rings still make your $5-10K rifle look like you had it assembled at the big box gun store by a guy who keeps arguing about the superiority of the .410 shotgun as a home defense weapon.

And I collect handguns like purses... not rifles.

i feel attacked. :ROFLMAO: the 410 with 3" shells is an excellent home defense weapon. why is that in dispute?

Oh contraire, I mean farmers tan, as in work, sun up to sun down…

It is a little different color combo than most. It’s good when the dirt shows!
Click to expand...
Ah, I stand corrected then. Around here (ND/MN) “farmer’s tan” refers to the actual tan of a person, usually dark neck (esp the back neck) and forearms and white-ass upper arms, chest, and legs. 👍

I changed my rifle’s skins to the thumbhole version because, because, because - AW and AWSM thumbhole.

How many of you did so because the pistol grip looked like somekinda animal’s scrotum?
 
#22,799
Anybody have some pics of accuracy international rifles (AT?) with heavier sporter barrels? Particularly interested in something like a #3b or #4 Bartlein, which are apparently classified as Light Bull and Bull sporters by Bartlein.

Don’t necessarily care about the brand of barrel, just that it’s a heavier sporter. If I get one I wanted to make sure my AT doesn’t look stoooopid.
