THANKS, Is there a disadvantage to buying a AI with a small firing pin staying in 308 caliber?
I had a chance to take the new 308 bolt and 6.5cm barrel out to the 200 yard range today. It was just south of 100F out so the barrel refused to cool. I’m not a good shooter but I managed to get some good groups
Lil man wants to shoot this so bad. Not yet. He does pull the trigger for me sometimes while I have it aimed and shouldered.
Very nice!

Small firing pin is what you want. You get the most options even in the unfortunate event if you need to re-sale. Look at the classified and you will see that small firing pin gets more $'s than large.

Does that bipod show in your scope ?
Unsure of a US seller, I got mine shipped from Germany
Able to finally post pictures of an AI I own. AI AT 6.5 CM, 24" threaded. Shooting factory Hornandy 140 ELD M. Velocity 2620 fps, SD 24. Hammer at 100 yards. About 2.25 in spread at 545.
Overall first impressions is I like the grip and trigger more than I thought I would. Bolt is MUCH clunkier than I thought it would be. Couple drops of oil helped. Hopefully it smooths out over time. Only 40 rounds in at this point.
Bought from mile high, very good experience.
Would anyone know the blank/origin of this barrel?
The engraving has a UK proof mark. One would assume it’s a lothar walther blank from England.
Nice! What Muzzle Brake you running on there?
Factory AI muzzle break
Really? It doesn’t look factory. It looks larger for some reason. Maybe just the picture.
I would like to see more pictures of this rifle.
Looks like a factory muzzle brake to me, look at my standard muzzle brake.

Wonder how it would look with the black stock on the pale brown? Have a PB coming to me soon and debating what color stock, PB or Black.The AX folder and Atlas spigot have been installed so here's the "new" AIAT. The colors are a close match, but I had to switch to a 1.5" Spuhr as the AX cheek piece (as has been mentioned) is taller than on the AT folder.
@Fixr - I have that little Allen wrench in my stock now.
Anyone out here have that setup?
AI tactical threaded double chamber muzzle brake
Can you post a picture of it?
Got the email from Mile High last week bolt assembly showed up Tuesday. I finally got the trifecta I wanted.
Installed @samb300 ’s Arca Swiss spigot replacement today, along with a RRS BT-Pro clamp. Total install time was about 2 hours. That’s 10 minutes to remove the factory mount and install Sams, then 1 hour and 50 minutes hunting the 10-32x3/8 screws for the RRS clamp before giving up and going to Fastenal.
I can tell on the bench alone that this is far superior to the factory set up with the B&T spigot. It’s 1” closer to the bore and probably 2.5” closer to the muzzle adjusted out. It’s also far more sturdy than I could crank the spigot mount down to.
Another home run from Sam.

Silly question. My new AXMC SFP bolt showed up. I shoot factory 260 and 6CM ammo. Can I just swap the bolt and go or would I need to re zero?
Re-zero the first time to find the offset. After you know the offset there should be no need to rezero
I agree with this. If you're just going from large firing pin to small firing pin, there should no zero change. Zero change should only be necessary if you switched barrels as well.
Thanks for the replies guys, I decided not to run it in today’s match just to be safe. I should be able to pick up my new TBAC can any day and when I do I’ll sight in with that and the new bolt.
The Coopermaster on the range
The range conditions note also loopy pheasant who wandered along in front of the line, surprisingly unbothered by the noise or the people.
Its not often I come off the range carrying this much windage and had used more.
Accuracy International are best known for their military rifles but if you like range work the target rifles they made are well worth considering if you come across one.

We picked up the barrel and went on a 3 day steel-spanking camping trip. We ordered a Bartlien 30" Sendero 1:9 in 300 PRC and for now we're shooting the ELD-M 225s. Right off the bat, they shot well. I used the Hornady 4DOF at 5K' elevation and a wild guess at temp and pressure, guessed at 2950 fps. For a mile it was within 0.3 mils. We got hits right away even though the wind was apparently mimicking Wyoming. The Area 419 Sidewinder plus the mass of the rifle made recoil mellow. Spotting shots was easy. I'm happy as a pig in shit.
morning guys, need some help with measurements on AX308 or AXMC (forgot paper at the house this morning)
looking for measurements of:
distance from the back of the hand grip to the center of the trigger opening
distance from the back of the hand grip to the center of the trigger
distance from the back of the hand grip to the front of the trigger guard
thanks alot

Form 4 came back on Saturday for the Ultra 7. Picked it up this afternoon. Now just waiting on the TBAC bipod. I ordered through my dealer not too long ago and just figured I’d suck up the wait time.
...... Yes, I know the owner of the rifle
300 blk? What can is that? Looks like sandman endcap but diff body
[/QUOTE]What can is that? Looks like sandman endcap but diff body
[/QUOTE]
just a wild guess on the body comment - looks like a sub 16" barrel that has a 'muzzle device' pinned to make it 16" so as not to have to sbr? but said muzzle device allows the can to be threaded underneath?

This picture thread makes me want to upgrade to a new can.

Pardon me, that is a fine rig you've got there. Is there any way you could take a picture getting either a left or right side shot of your rifle with the Elite Iron Bi-pod stowed like that? I've been looking to do a set-up somewhat similar to this.
Id really appreciate it.
Regards
