I have a pre-14 AX 338 lapua, it’s mainly collected dust as I don’t have any components for 338.
I bought a new magnum bolt so I can run 300 win mag (which I do have components for). But, what barrel tenon do I use? I am under the assumption I can use AXMC.
Also If I can, and I choose to get another bolt for 308, can I use the kit to feed the short action cartridges?

Pre 14 AI, is going to be M27. Only the AXMC, PSR, AXSR, ASR use the M30 shank barrels.
Gunsmithing - Barrel tenon diagram for AI 27mm
Looking to have a barrel blank fit to my AI and chambered (when it arrives: AT-X). Is there a diagram or spec sheet someplace that I can give to the gunsmith to have this done?

AX338 isn't the smaller M27 tenon. Only the AWM used M27 (for long actions).
Did you get an AXMC 300WM bolt? I always wondered if the AX338 and AXMC actions were identical except for the quick change barrel feature.
I got an “AX” 300 wing mag bolt. But the AXMC would be a lot easier moving forward.
Sounds like I should pop the barrel off and verify the tenon.
Interesting. From new/factory? 300WM wasn't a factory option at the time, for the AX338.
To be fair, I have AW bolts with small firing pins, which technically aren't original spec.
Maybe in the UK it might be different. But in the states, all the quick change barrel long action/magnum rifles are M30. Mostly known as post 2014 (but there are some pre 2014 AXMCs) The AX338 still uses the old AW actions but in a AX chassis so it still uses the M27 tenon. Or basically if it's a long action, and takes double stack mags, it's a M30. This is not including some of the newer stuff made for special departments(German G22)
Well I could have misread and might have an expensive paperweight.
Part number was 20013 on EO.
AX338 is a bulkier long action which is visibly similar if not identical to the AXMC, and I am certain it is the same in the US too. There are photos on sale posts here that depict this:

(first link has a user confirming large tenon)
Only the pre-14 AX uses the AW action.

I believe mine does take a double stack 338 mag. I’m not home currently or I’d verify. It’s fat I know that.
Well you might be lucky and find that the AX338 is identical to an AXMC for all the important bits.
Some UA dude saying his AI is the bees knees. And I think he said this rifle was in 338LM
.308 is the best PRS cartridge you can’t change my mind (though shooting WAR last weekend with 6.5 creedmoor was pretty awesome)
