Lol you think that I have time to reload ?
That was “free” with a 4 day k and m class. Nice flag for all these dumb ranges that won’t accept mag blocks. So dumb

Na that ain't me... I'm a v3 guy... I do like to give ole burt crap tho....
Used the 300NM barrel today on the AXMC to connect on a 1 mile cold bore shot, then hit 8 out of 9. 230 Atips,2980fps, winds 8-9 at 7:30, The MC is getting old and beat up but still performs.
Finally got an AIAT I’ve been wanting for awhile. Just waiting on a set of scope rings. I took the skins off and took the barrel off to make sure everything was clean and put some anti seize on the barrel threads. I removed the quick change screw completely unintentionally but I minded the smaller wash as not to lose it and reinstalled it, the barrel and torque it to 49in/lb. I then noticed in the manual that it says not to completely remove the quick change screw… oops. I assume this is so you don’t lose the screw and/or washer. Correct?

That's it you done made it worthless... send it to me and I'll try to resuscitate it!
I just wipe down the bolt when ever I clean the barrel. No solvent or anything. I will then apply a coat of oil, work the bolt back and forth a few times in the action and then wipe down again.
I apply oil to any contact points on the bolt. I haven't had a sticky bolt in either AI I've had.
Just AT-X’s do that, regular AT’s don’t
Surely, temperature sensitivity wouldn’t be an issue? Dumb question, I know…
Well. It’s still f ing doing it. Saturday match nice weather. Had degreased bolt and action. Still sticky af
Scratch marks on some brass necks also. Not sure if it’s always done that. With 2 different mags
How nice was the “nice” weather?
Just throwing stuff on the wall here, but are ya sure it’s not a chamber issue, but it seems to be acting up on the back end?
I guess the brass is a separate issue. Thinking back it binds up empty no mag etc
Can you send pic of the front of bolt?
Can you feel any of the roll pins on the bolt head?
If one is protruding just a bit it’ll cause all kind of issues

Is that a green barrel? Hard to tell with the lighting
2 looked like they were out a little. I drove them down don’t think that’s it. Think it’s the bolt stop/guide. I depress it it gets a lot smoother
That bottom roll pin in the last picture sure looks polished. Unless it's the flash.
But on the plus side. I should be getting my stock back soon so I can shoot my AT-X again soon. So their warranty department was able to turn it around pretty fast.

Yes 2 were shiny I drove them back in a little !
You need to put a little grease inside the bolt stop groove on the bolt. That has always helped in my experience.
Yup had it cerakoted. Think the color was magpul green if I remember right
Did you try what I told you?
Did you rattle can inside the action and barrel extension ? Sure looks like it
- Clean the inside of the action and LIGHT lube
- LIGHTLY lube the groves in the bolt
Done did that
I am a professional
As I stated this ran great after paint fir a bunch of matches and other activities. This problem reared its head at the mkm snow match a couple weeks ago
Oh the inside of the action is just dirty af from last 2 matches and practice. This berger ammo is dogshit
I bet if you reach out to AINA they can square you right up.
Or since it’s broken, I’ll give you $20 to take it off your hands.
We know you don't HAVE TO... However, have you considered cleaning all the shit out of your action, and sorting out the feed ramp???
Everything looks dry and manky in there, that wouldn't be helping anything.
The easiest way to a smooth bolt on my AI's has always been lubing up the bolt catch channel on the left side of the bolt, and cleaning the actual stop inside the action. Light oil on the back of the lugs.
Clearly you use the hell out of it, good to see.

That bottom roll pin looks like it’s a tad above. The way I check them, I run a straight edge length wise of bolt. If any snag, it’ll definitely cause issues.
Also if you have any paint in the bolt stop, it’ll create a friction on bolt.

Hit that w some brake clean non chlorinated and a 12 ga nylon brush. Than some Hornady one shot. Should clear up your neglected AI

Beat the piss out of it... Then keep it clean.
I recognize this from the gram, congrats on the AI man!
Lol one look at that AX in the background and instantly knew who it was. You, B59, and durk (AI Jesus) are the people who influenced me to get an AI lol
Glad we could con another person into the cult 
Hey it’s not as bad as Knights, but me and Tylor joined at the same timeGlad we could con another person into the cult
I’ve got a new 26” .308 barrel for an AT but it’s plain and does not have a threading for the muzzle. Where would you guys recommend I send my barrel to get the muzzle threaded to 5/8”-24”?
Any decent Smith close to you. Cali has at least a few good-great ones
Seems like a lot of guys use Mile High for stuff like that, I like LRI for all things rifle related. You might consider 3/4-24 though, assuming you've got the diameter at the muzzle... Not sure exactly what your plans are though, you might be limited by threads on a direct-thread suppressor or something.
By the way, I trust NOTHING to local fudds, so I'm mailing regardless... Doesn't matter to me if it's the next state over of across the country.

Yeah yeah but there are local places that do good work , and even if shipped closer is quicker.
I’d use closest shop with good reviews.
