Accuracy International Picture Thread

Hey guys. I have a factory AI 308 barrel that was chopped to 18” mile high with sub 50 rounds and a 24” 6.5 CM barrel spun up by mile high with sub 200 rounds. I like the handiness of the 308 but prefer the 6.5cm cartridge. I’m thinking of offing those barrels and maybe trying to loose a little weight with a rem varmit contour 6.5cm @ 18”. I see the price of barrels in the marketplace can be all over the place. What’s a realistic expectation and asking price for those barrels?

 

[candyx]

Dear sir, what is wrong with buying a Corvette C3 just before my forties will start (39yo currently) meanwhile saving for an AI MKIII....... which will arrive shortly after I get 40 ( may 2021 ).....

what else do I need.....?

Which contour? 400-600 depending on if they are factory ai barrels with bartlein blanks and what muzzle threads pitch...

Before you go listing in the px might wanna check the new rules as you are supposed to be a paying member now to list I think

Yea I’ve been meaning to do it I just havnt yet.
Both 5/8-24 with TBAC brakes. Honestly I don’t remember the contour of the 6.5 barrel. Heavier lol but yes it’s a bartlein. The gun was purchased new from mile high so I assumed the 308 barrel was bartlein too. Dude I bought it from gave me the final build and itemized list from MHSA list so I guess I should find it.

I was searching for the AX AICS and found this one. I've never seen a forend like this. It has a section with no keyslot with 2 holes. Is this normal?

Those holes are likely where the forend attaches to the chassis under the hand grip in the pic above

Thanks!

 

[Conqueror]

I believe I got the first lefty AXSR in the United States. I am digging it so far! .300 Norma with all the trimmings.

 

[NoLegs24]

@Conqueror Having the bolt on the wrong side isn't anything to be proud of, my guy. So you'll only get 1 like from me...

 

[Conqueror]

You're just jealous that they make an AXSR for my disability.

Seriously though if I can shoot it half as well as you do I'll be proud.

 

[Doctorwho1138]

As much as I love my AXMC, the AXSR looks better. I know they shoot the same but I like the lever safety better than the bolt safety. The ability to resist buying one is going to be hard. Love the AT-X too but AXSR reigns supreme. Love the lefty!!! But it makes my brain hurt looking at rifles with the bolt on the wrong side .

Looks are subjective, there's no wrong answers here but I prefer the looks of the MC over the SR, and the AW over either.

They certainly are subjective. One day I would like to add an AW just because they are classic AI. I am adding the AR grip mod to my AXMC. Only thing I don’t like is the grip which that will rectify. Also adding the thumb shelf.

[Tack425]

I almost bought an AXSR in lefty when the email came that they were available. Then I thought the spousal unit would shoot me with the 2 other AI in the safe when she found out.

 

[BuLLet]

Yeah me too, I have to cut back on the purchases or risk my life

Hi, my name is Sig, and I, I have a problem......................

 

[Sure Shot 45]

Sig nice safe and AT collection!

Y'all only got two hands and a pair of eyeballs right?

On the edge of enough, and not enough. There's always room for more.

 

[9sigman45]

Agreed. If AI will ever do a 223 I'll loose the two Remies. Already contemplating letting the 300WM set sail with talk of the AT short mag bolt face.

You must be able to get setups for the 223

I’m pretty sure @Adam B just sold a conversion kit for the AI

Also thought @Dthomas3523 had a rifle he was selling with a 223 aftermarket system

[Adam B]

The 223 kits are currently unavailable. Gilbert and crew sold the design to Southern Precision and Greg is super busy and doesn’t know when he will be tooling up to make new kits.

There is one glaring problem I see. No more storage slots for another one!

Serious question guys. I haven't ever shot 338LM and the AXMC came with the factory barrel and bolt, so set up to send those downrange. I know the fundamentals are key for bigger stuff and have been working one that with my AX and now the MC. What factory ammo has performed best for you guys out of the factory barrels? With ammo prices so high, and being in this fucktard state, I don't want to buy the wrong stuff.
What are your ammo suggestions for factory 338LM 27" factory barrel?
Thank you in advance and stay safe.
Tack

I have not fired our 338 at 100 yards much at all, but at ELR, I've gotten the best consistency from the Berger 300 gr OTM Hybrid. From Lapua factory ammo, I've had better luck with the 250 Scenars than the 300's. ES and SD better with the Bergers though.

Good shooting! Looks like my 1200yd rapid fire standing unsupported groups with my 18” .308 barrel.

Man that’s something I think we would all love to see. Shoot if that was even half true.

Hell my groups are with 168 FGMM in a 20MPH wind!


But on a serious note I’m thinking of unloading some ocean front property I have in AZ......CHEAP!!

Seriously that’s some good shooting!!!

Nice paint job. Even sweeter is that tactical assault bolt action virt-grip. Need me one of them.

Considering the horrible wind, I’m happy I squeezed into the top half of the shooters this weekend. Everyone in Tac division less one guy was in the top half of the rankings. Big thanks to @MACHTECH for the AI hat!

 

[Gamikatsu]

Well... here is a picture of my AICS chassis.... but... Thanks to the helpful guidance of "TheDurk" my AI AT 20" .308 folding should be getting boxes up by Euro optics for shipment to me right now. Can't wait! Went pale brown.
