Ok I was just curious. Mine are identical. Until you drop the firing pin. AT is 9lbsboltliftmafia and ATX is 12lbsboltliftgang
Hey I saw on instagram the XC they had there didn't have a firing pin in so the guy couldn't test it, while all the other rifles had pins in. Could you get video of the difference for the hide?
This is the part that gets me. I wouldn't care about the bolt lift on my AT-X if the bolt lift wasn't significantly lighter/smoother on my 15 AT, but it is.
You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain
Yeah, one of the reps was able to actually show me. I’ll see if they are there tomorrow. I’ll ask about parts also
With the surviving color options I think we can settle it finally....
SAGE GREEN IS THE MASTER RACE
EDIT: honestly the new ATX has me curious. I want to see how it is when some production models make it out into the wild.

To be fair, I assumed the ATXC would just be the gov contracted “compact” version of the ATX we seen a few months ago.
But nooooo lol

The ones I seen didn’t have a firing pin! That’s why they were lighter.
He must’ve had a few drinks before he made it to the AI booth.Well that pretty much sums up the bolt lift being better
Doesn’t look like the new bolt will swap into the earlier gen AT- X actions. Back of the bolt shroud is a different shape
I think it’s just scalloped, as long as the firing pin assembly will fit in the bolt body it won’t matter anyway. Assuming the breech ring is the same as current AT actions, which is probably not a safe assumption.
I’m going to assume it will be like the AXSR bolt. Which is not compatible with the AXMC it replaced
It's not someone said the bolt lugs are more similar to the axsr
That figures. Heaven forbid existing owners get anything that could be backwards compatible.
I mean... The atx gen 4 v5.7 to aw are ? That's like 30 some years of compatibility
I need 31 years. Lol
I dunno, I’m not really feeling it with these new releases. Didn’t like the AT-X, the AT-XC Mil looks just ok-ish. The gigantic knob on the AT-XC sport is, ah, odd?
Anyone else notice that the pic rail on the AT-XC Mil isn’t angling down at 20moa like the scope rail?
My AX sure seems to have a continuously angled 20moa rail all the way to the end of the handguard.
Not like it matters, really. I don’t think. Looks weird. Hmmmm. I don’t own any thermal/NV.

It does have a cant to it if you look at other pictures of it.
Yeah, I guess I’m just a full retard and didn’t even notice there was no firing pin, especially because the rest did now that I think about it. No wonder it was so light.
I’ll try and stop by again and see if it’s changed today and try to get some answers on the legacy AT parts.
Why would a company advertise a new action with better bolt operation and then make that the only action on the display that doesn’t have a firing pin and can’t be legitimately compared to the ones next to it.
Probably told you it’s lighter to huh?
Then zip tied it to the table
Because it won’t be available until 2027
Well...today I applied lessons learned from my purchase of the AXMC some 5 years ago.
Although I still have not decided about the purchase of an LH AXSR to go with my AT and AXMC, I did buy all of the LH AXSR bolt bodies and a spare LH AXSR Shroud/Firing Pin Assy today.
At least I will have everything should I decide to purchase the AXSR.

Damn!
Guys here trying to scrounge up pennys to buy a barrel
You bought the whole damn shelf for a gun you don’t even own!!
Nice flex on the poors!
Are there poors in a dedicated AI thread?Damn!

I can always sell them all if I don't go that route but makes a future purchase much more feasible. I am a practical person after all
Worse comes to worse, you can always sell it. LR ASR bolt is almost a instant sell.
At least that is my excuse buying anything spendy.

Until they come out with a gen2 LH AXSR that uses a new bolt and they discontinue the gen1 rifle
Uhh I take that personallyDamn!

Well I bought my AXMC when they announced the AXSR...Until they come out with a gen2 LH AXSR that uses a new bolt and they discontinue the gen1 rifle
you went from "never" to "i did buy" pretty fast lol. I get it though. The AXSR is irresistible. Especially in Elite Sand. The only improvement I could see would be eliminating the safety completely (bolt guns don't need safeties) and bonding the action. Oh, and space for both hex keys in the cheekpiece. And it should come with the TBAC SR brake instead of the CB one.
(I personally like key slot, the axsr trigger, the grip, etc). ....And actually it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they made an AXMC style mag spacer so you had the option of running 308 AICS or AW mags or the 308 axsr mags depending on whether you're really shooting 308 because you want to, or just practicing for a real cartridge.
Curious why you bought all 3 though. I mean, why not buy 2, as the 3rd will come with the rifle? now you'll have 4 bolt bodies
Lol, shots fired.
LOL
I believe I said, "never unless all options were available at the time of purchase." All options were available today so my statement is consistent.
I am on the fence but I figured that this was a no-lose scenario. I will always be able to sell the parts to some poor soul like me when the AXSR is replaced and a southpaw is looking for parts or earlier if the LH parts dry up.
I don't think I would buy the rifle without trying one but who knows

I'm going to be an enabler here... I think you'd be really happy with the Axsr.
I wanted to buy an AXSA (in addition to the MC I already have) but instead I think I'm going to buy a Porsche.
How's that for flexing on the poors? Am I doing it right?

Its the "I'm poor because i bought an AI club"
Present.
It’s really interesting to me that the new short action uses 6 action screws.
So it went from 4 screws and bonded (best IMO)
To 4 screws and unbonded is fine
To 6 screws and unbonded

Blue Oyster level pics here. How dare you sully an AI thread with a picture of a Ford. Sure, it isn’t a white Ford, but still.
I guess AI’s can’t buy class.
I kid, I kid.
Bro I snagged my AXSR without trying, seeing, or even being in the same room with it. Purchased the bolt bodies, firing pins, and some barrels before ever getting it (buying when they came available) and then got home and decided…this is it. Let’s give MH a call.
I remember it fondly. A cool breeze rustled my flowing white linen sports cut button up as I turned to my beautiful waifu and delivered my best Bruce Buffer impression “honey, iiiiiittttttttttt’ssssssssss TIMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!”
I spun around not wanting the love of my life to see me nervously shake as I whipped out the one tool that would ultimately deliver an immeasurable joy. My calloused fingers eagerly entered the rotary dial of my phone as I spun it around and around… 3…0…3…ratcheting noises could be heard as the dial rotates back as my finger slips out. My wife staring at me from across the above ground pool, fully aware of the gutting my kid’s college fund* was about to take. She screams out “WAIT! Don’t forget to buy another case of 300PRC ammo with it!” I was shaken to my core. I had almost forgotten to add the extra case! But then…that’s when it happened…

*College is a scam. An AI is a much better investment in the child’s future.
**Spoiler Alert: The douchebag buys an AXSR and pretty much only shoots 308 out of it.
