Considering going the rattle can route with mine too. They wear much more naturally than cerakote and it preserves the factory finish if you ever wanted to go back to it for any reason.All this talk about fancy cerakote jobs...
My rattle can job, poo poo'ed by many purist, but makes me happy, LOL. It will only take's a little elbow grease with Krudcutter and its back to
good old A.I. Black

Holy fuck, that might be my favorite AI I've seen. Bravo, home dog.
I can easily make my own ARCA rail for the rifle, just not sure how much I would use it. My buddy has a RRS tripod and it is wicked stable. If I was going to upgrade the tripod that would be the way to go. I would just build up a batch of rails to amortize the cost of the anodize lot charge out over 10 or 20 rails. Simple geometry, they only take about 8 minutes to machine out of an aluminum blank using a cnc mill.
Thank you. It's so much fun to shoot. It's hovering around the 21 lbs. mark in its current configuration. I'm pretty eager to see how lightweight I can make this thing for some NRL Hunter matches I'd like to attend. Sub 16 lbs. is achievable, but a 16 lbs. rifle that's enjoyable to shoot is a different thing.
I am excited to join the ranks of AI ownership, I just purchased a used AXSA pale brown 308 @20” from Mile High. I am anxiously awaiting the shipping and hope to have it in hand by Christmas. Cheers
Why tho the axsr mags are the shit why mess with that adapter?
Will the AXSR mags fit a 2013 AXMC?
I ask because when I purchased my AXMC mag I saw some that were “asr and post 2014 AXMC”
The mags my guns uses in .338 LM. (Came with gun) I purchased the same one below for 300 PRC
This is the 300 mag marked for post 2014 AXMC. Has that lip on the back

Unless the mag adapter on a pre14 is different than a post 2014 axmc I dunno why it wouldn't work correctly. The axsr 308 mags have been flawless in my 2014 axmc
They do. Mine is an early post 2014 model with a 13 prefix yes
Thank you,
That's what I thought but I remember reading something that was conflicting with that. Couldn't find the information on AI's website.
You can get barrels in 3/4x24 but "stock" they were metric threaded
$50K in firearms and glass and drinking Bushy at $6 dollars a case on sale. God I love Amreica
This was exactly my thinking. I put a blue one on order a few days ago and Milehigh says I should have it in a couple weeks. I don’t really care about the color anyway, but will probably send it off for cerakote pretty soon after I get it.
Anyone run a continuous top rail on their AXSR chassis? AINA gave me some part numbers but seems they don't line up length wise.
Adam at mile high said he would chop one to fit but I just wonder about the key slot holes lining up.
I know us chassis guys are the poors but figured this was a good place to ask!

Just got my new book , " The Green Meanie " AI L96A1 story by Steve Houghton , its got some good info & stories in it , like what the SAS was using in the late 70's for CT work , the snipers had to rock up with a golf bag that held 3 rifles to cover all events.
The "Hard Kill " option was a L42A1 in 308 with a max range of 400m , the "Soft Kill " being a Tikka M-55 in 22-250 max range 300m ( was used to stop shooting thru tgt , bullet breaking up and staying in tgt , no ricochet hitting others etc ) , the "Silent Kill " being a L1A1 SLR running a 22lr adapter and silencer , 100m firing 3rd burst .
So they saw the Lee Enfield as being a 400m max rifle , this is for Huns Head size tgt, as soon as they tried the AI prototype rifle , they had no trouble out to 600m .
If you are into AI rifles , you should get this book , before they are all GONE .

Good day to be out ringing steel at 1k. The temp was in the low 70's and the wind was gusting to 45mph.
I have the book also. I’m hoping to read it this holiday season.The Green Meanie L96A1 - Swift and Bold Publishing

Finally picked up a used AT today.
Bushnell XRS2 on top, Bartlein barrel in 260R.
Thumbhole kit to fit, paint, barrel chop and then I can get the suppressor on and finish off the deer season with it.

After looking up how to paint using stencils, how trashy is it to spray an AI lmao
I'm seriously thinking about it. Worst case I can strip it 
Real men paint. Cerakote is what children who can’t finger paint do.I'm seriously thinking about it. Worst case I can strip it
Man love that movie....
@Krob95 seriously rattle canning over cerakote is great cause you can just wipe it off with laqure thinner and start over
Babaganush!!!!!!
I’ll be in my room…painting homo things…
Basically my shelf in the garage time now
About to spray paint this puppy....
Little nippy up there today .... @Long Range 338 you bring me a Steiner?

Yea and just in case I have some really hostile paper targets that show up at pb to 200 yards on my peripherals lol
Good deal. I'm thinking about getting a RMR for my ZCO
It's actually really nice when scanning for long distance targets
