Switched up the ATX to a 6.5 PRC
100m groups on the new 6.5PRC barrel cut by Matt at Sawtooth Rifles, ATX bolt modified by Fritz at Black Canyon Customs. Factory Berger 156’s averaging 2870 fps
Groups are good .. ES at 25 -needs a little work. Loading some 153.5’s on the once fired.
Side note: The tangent is superior and the rear rest is a cheater.
Shout out to @plf338, Jorge @NoLegs24, Matt and Fritz for all the help.

That's a upgrade you would have to buy.
When I scored mine a little over a year ago they were fairly difficult to source (and not available to the general public). Up to that point I'd only seen a few in pics, mostly on the ASR and Australian contract rifle, maybe a couple LE rifles as well. I believe they still are tough to acquire, however EuroOptic has a product page for one. Not sure if it's ever been stocked, but lit looks like you can backorder it.

Accuracy International AXSR 16" Dark Earth Forend Tube Sub-Assembly w/Integrated RRS Rail & 20 MOA M-LOK Top Rail 100-19-001392DE
FREE SHIPPING on Accuracy International AXSR 16" Dark Earth Forend Tube Sub-Assembly w/Integrated RRS Rail & 20 MOA M-LOK Top Rail 100-19-001392DE
Previously these forends would have come from me. Others were using different screws with the AXSA or MC Mlok rails to make it work on their SRs.
Not until just recently have they offered it up like you see from the EO link that was posted above.
It's a very long lead time for them currently. I should have more this year at some point. Been on order for months already.
Why do you have to get the fixed version?
Accuracy International - Thumbhole Grip Upgrade Kit
The Accuracy International thumb hole grip upgrade kits are available in fixed or folding and includes a thumbhole backstrap, rear end mouldings, and screws. For AT, will also fit AW and AWM. Fits new style stocksides only.www.sportingservices.co.uk
You have to get the fixed version. Good news is it's the same skin as folder and has a score mark where you have to cut. I converted my tan and black thumbhole kits very easily. Cut a little long and then fine tune with rigid sanding block with fine sandpaper.
9 green kits in stock. Bunch of AI swag too, I picked up some stickers and a patch.
Edit: DO NOT call and ask if they ship to the US. They will say no but if you just do the order online they ship no problem. Myself and a bunch of others here have ordered from them without issue.
Would it be possible to get an order for one in ES?
I just bought an ES AXSR but it would be awesome if I could get the Mlok front.
AI discontinued it........ But they can get you one for 3k
I’ll probably have to wait a couple years too
Only because the folder version in green was out of stock. If they have the color you want and you have a folder that's the one to buy lol.
7 axis Dremel go bur burrr
New rifles, yes. For parts…maybe not. They “discontinued” Sage Green when ES came out, but you could still order barrels in Sage Green the whole time it was discontinued (not NOS barrels, but production orders on-demand). I ordered and received about 3 during that time. Last time I checked, I could still order a new barrel in ES as well, and this has been since they discontinued ES. But that’s barrels, and not an ultra-rare hand guard, so…
My source says once inventory is depleted of es accessories.... No mas ymmv
Shoot me a PM. Have one ES Mlok here. Little Darker color then the new guns coming out.
Just started breaking in my new 'elitist of sand' 6CM barrel. Today was shots 21 - 40. It virtually mirrored the results of shots 1 - 20. Just two boxes of factory Hornady stuff. My barrel hates the 103gr Precision Hunter, but all four groups of 108gr ELD-M were in the .5s and .6s (even when I booger up a shot).
I'll start load development for this one next week. I'm already sitting on the necessary components.
I've come to the conclusion that my numb-assed fingers aren't a good match for the competition trigger. I know the break is supposed to 'surprise you', but I keep doing it trying to register the wall between the first and second stage. The result is that I have to basically stay on target and creep the trigger all the way through.
^ Yes, I've adjusted it to as heavy as I could. Yes, I generally shoot rifles with 2.5 - 3lb triggers for this reason...and Yes, I always look down at my hands while I'm working on equipment and wonder when the hell it was that I cut the shit out of my fingers.
It is hereditary.

It is hereditary. Corrected it for you.Jake give him the 3.0% off hide discount and don't forget my fee
How many do you need? How about a complete sets of green AT skins? Everything is for sale for the right price.
They're out of stock and there is a 12 week lead time (I don't know if that was a finger in the air number or a fixed delivery date), but I converted one a few weeks ago with a hacksaw and some sandpaper and it was easy and neat.
Sporting Services has all the thumbhole folders in stock (except leftys, sorry wronghanded people). I had been flip flopping on converting mine, but I folded since they're in stock and the AT is going away.
QQ for the group
Did the original competition trigger that AI put out differ from what they are selling today? I am not talking about the ones on the AT-X or AXSR but the one you can buy as an accessory for ~$600.

My AXSR came with an empty bag for the X-TSP AI trigger so presumably that's what is in there
Thanks! This is different than what is on my package and looks to be specific for the AXSRMy AXSR came with an empty bag for the X-TSP AI trigger so presumably that's what is in there

Finally got my hands on an AXMC from another user on here. Hoping the large firing pin won’t be an issue even though I’ll be shooting 6.5. Have to say the action and trigger feel amazing.
Hornady is your friend. Although being in your shoes as well, I would love to know what you find out.
The AXSR trigger housing is specific to the AXSR. In addition to the plate and 2 bolts that usually attach the AI triggers the AXSR also has a roll pin attaching the trigger housing as a backup in case the bolts work loose. On the top of the trigger housing there are 2 ears sticking up and a roll pin goes through those ears and pins the housing to the chassis.
I think the guts of the AXSR trigger are the same as the regular comp trigger. And I have no idea if the regular trigger would install into the AXSR, I've never been brave enough to tap out my roll pin to try it out.

Not sure the next time I’ll get to the range but I’ll report back with my findings.
I (ahem) bought two fixed green ones. One to experiment with that Atlas monopod as a bag-rider and the other in case I crack my existing one. I own a folder but was going to just cut them to fit.
And then the next morning they had folding ones available. So I bought two, as I am lazy.
So instead of returning them across the pond, I might have a couple fixed green ones for sale fairly soon…haven’t arrived yet. Can’t promise you anything as we’ll see how good I am at 7 axis dremel work.

Starting to get packed up for the 4 day comprehensive rifle course at K&M next week. If any of y'all are attending let me know, I'll be the big Dutch guy
Fellow AXMC 6.5CM enjoyer here:
Hornady uses large rifle primers in their 6.5 eld match line but that line also gets like 100fps ES in the same lot so.... Tradeoffs
You will.....
Another day of load development with the AT in 6x47 26"bbl. Settled on 2 loads and shell be hopefully hitting her first match easter weekend. Diamonds are 1" black tip to black tip.

Enough of this 6.5Creammoore nonsense. You should all be ashamed of yourselves…today of all days.
Happy 308 day to those men shooting 308 out of their long action safe kweens
Surprised that comp trigger hasn't failed under the recoil of that brass balled 308
Don’t you fuckin jinx it sir. I have a spare but the original one is still going strong at almost 3000rds. No adjustments made.
