Do you recommend not playing around with the competition trigger? Or just be careful when making adjustments?

I've covered this before, mainly to dispel the myth that it was an XTSP trigger. Let's just say I personally own that rifle now and I enjoy shooting it competitively trigger and all. If you find yourself at the Tillard 55 Ranch in early June I'll let you have a few rounds with it and you can decide how f__ked up the trigger is.
My experience is that that vast majority of owners should not undertake adjusting triggers regardless of the make of the trigger.
@Scott Seigmund you guys ever planning on releasing those axsr buttstocks any time soon? I know you guys teased them with gen 1 but no additional info recently.
Wow, I'm surprised. Maybe no one that's seen it knows if it'll work.
Probably not, but maybe you should call Badger Ordnance. Here's the phone number, +1 (816) 421-4956.
This is the Accuracy International AT-X thread.
No, owned Badgers and played with a few AI actions... They have similarities but aren't very close. MPA used to do AI inlet and may still but IDK....
Thanks for the reminder
This thread is a sassy as a high school girls locker room
new AT-X user here (actually about a year), just hit 100rds. (need a better long range)
I don't love the trigger, is the competition trigger user installed? any other options?
Is there a thumb rest for the right side (right handed shooter)?
I see guys getting folders, anybody have them or is it a backorder thing?

The comp trigger is standard in the ATX. So you have it already. No other options. No thumb test option unless you mill into the chassis then you can do whatever you want. Hinge should be instock in some places. It’s not a whole new rear just a folding hinge you take off your current rear and attach it.
There is the thumb rest built into grip option as well. MKM, Anarchy, and MPA. Might be others.
There is a thumb rest offered by a company in the UK. No experience with it though.
Thumb rest looks pretty nice beetroot.
Thumb rest made out of bent aluminum. Covered with a layer of gorilla tape. Fastened to rifle with double stick foam tape and has a hole drilled to fit under the adjacent bolt. Cheap and effective. I like the thumb rest higher than one attached to the grip. I went back to the factory ergo grip.
Thanks guys!
one more question, my bolt is getting hard to close, should i use lube or grease on the bolt head

When I hit the frank and Marc class, one of the comments was all shooters are also machinists. Nicely done, I wondered myself about using that back bolt or 3d printing something
I ended up making a 3D printed thumb rest to piggy back off of the sling stud bolt. Liking it so far
Does it work with the hinge?
Anyone running the R700 version of the AT-X chassis have issues with the action screws coming loose? I followed the torqued spec and tightening procedure specified in the manual, but my screws seem to starting coming loose after 40-50 rounds. I have almost 200 rounds on the chassis and would like to avoid skim bedding it, but I can’t think of any other solutions.
Just finished 3 matches 500ish rounds and still tight. Origin action with the supplied action screws.
Check your actions screws as they were flip in one of my chassis. The longer one should be in the rear for the tang. Mine was in the front which prevented bolt close and rear was barely engaged with the threads.

My screws look to be the same length. Front screw sticks up .20”, rear screw sticks up .21”. I would expect +\-.01” to be well within tolerance for screw length. Id have to pull the barrel to check the front screws thread engagement, but the rear screw looks good. If I went to a custom sized bolt I could get maybe 1 extra thread, but I don’t think that would save it. The wear pattern on the engagement surfaces of the chassis looks fine, if anything the right side is slightly more worn than the left. However the contact patch is the same length. I’m baffled, so I guess it’s time to send Mile High an email
I think I found my problem. There is a step in the recoil lug pocket so only the bottom tip of the recoil lug is contacting the chassis. You can feel it when you insert the barreled action. Using a piece of paper as a feeler gauge, I was able to confirm the recoil lug does not bottom out in the pocket, so I think this step is the source of my problems.
Fresh out of Cerakote. I’d say it turned out fantastic
For those who liked my thumb rest:

First time AI owner, owning an AI has always been a holy grail gun for me. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase, had to give it a proper camo job because black guns are boring

What is the consensus on the Rem 700 AT-X chassis for mag selection? It's on my list for potential chassis for my ARC CDG and AINA hasnt gotten back to me on if it is good to go for AW mags.
There is a mag block machined into front side of the inlet that's removable. This keeps aics mags from riding too high. I know some have successfully removed that block(as it's only held in place by a screw) and utilized aw mags successfully. I don't know how high the mag latch will hold aw mags into the action inlet. I'm under the impression you need to keep aw mags tight to the action to get enough case head presentation to the bolt face.
I removed that mag block that 406 mentioned and it’s been fine. Just took it out and cycled 10 rounds to be sure. No issues. Before removing the block it held the follower down and the bolt would ride over the last round
What is the Part # for the short NV rail here? I can’t seem to find the correct one anywhere
I just used the AT high action rail and the AT 20moa rail and it lines up perfectly

How come AI doesn’t have the ATX linked to their website? I might be dumb but I can’t find the official website for it.
The AT-X and the AXSR aren’t on the AI site, just a bunch of discontinued guns.
The scam AI web-store has the AT-X and SR
Man, if there were dealers that had info of such rifles on their websites with videos to go along with it…

So I had my AT-X for sale near 6 months and it didnt sell. Gonna keep it now and run a 6mm chamber of some sort. I am fully stocked on 6gt brass. Has anyone experienced feeding issues with gt cases in the atx? It kinda in no man's land between br using hrd kits, and full creed length. Has anyone tried the new atx follower with higher spring pressure and angled ramp with gt cases? I've read where guys are loading the rounds forward to where shoulder is at the rib to get reliable feeding.
I had fine luck running 22GT in AX mags. At first I had to slide the rounds forward so the shoulder interfaced with the rib, but then I sent my mags into AI to be “fixed” and they came back running perfect with GT cases.
Also, for what it’s worth, I’ve been running 12-round MDT AICS mags for the last few days without issue. The feed lips rubbed ever so slightly when I first tried them, but a little polish and they have been buttery smooth ever since. Not sure why guys say that the AICS mags are not compatible with these actions - mine has been utterly perfect. No latch issues or anything whatsoever.
