The AI Arctic Warfare Picture Thread

looks like a combination of dirt, grime and a low resolution picture
Hopefully for the buyer

My comment was to the post that it went for less than others and with a 300 win with unknown shot count it would of served the seller to clean it up if top dollar was expected

I know my 300 does not look like that and if i was going to sell it I would have cleaned it before pics

 
looks like a little dust and grease - bolt face looks great.

my buddy ended up swooping the 300wm for a great price. We can twin now.

Here is my 300WM.

and a few devgru builds my rifle is based off of:

AI was going to make a 50cal gas gun???

And that’s the most American-looking English guy I’ve ever ever seen!
The AS50 was indeed made. Although not very successful. Probably the SECOND most aesthetic AI ever made. Please note, this is an AW thread, although exceptions can be made if you own an AS50 and would like to share lmao.

I first saw this rifle on Discovery Channel’s “Weaponology” (or was it “Future Weapons?”).

If I remember correctly, the host erroneously referred to it as the Barrett AS50.

The video also has the dubious recognition of being the most replayed of its time for demonstrating receiver / scope / barrel flex on recoil.

You beat me to hunting down and sharing this video. Thank you for saving me the trouble.

For the AWSM owners…

 
Gorgeous! The condition is amazing.


It is ……. thank you

Thats what fascinates be about some of these rifles ya gotta wonder their past history

The case on the outside was a bit scratched up and some small dents but the rifle was like a time capsule on the inside

I really believe it was only test fired at the factory and than who knows where it went to

Beautiful rifle. I'm looking for a single forward accessory rail. I was able to get the less common dual sided one - but the single evades me.
Do you mean the long rail along the forend? The double rail is actually two single rails put together. The removable bars underneath the railed sections are different. One is threaded and the other is counterbored with a through hole.

You use the one that is fully threaded for a single rail, with a pair of spacers/washers for the other side. I have a drawing for such a part.

does your drawing have the washer PN's for the single sided?

I understand how the dual works. I have one here on my rifle. Here some pics when it was off.

Unfortunately no, I just made a drawing of my complete rail assembly before I sold it, so I could make a copy in the future if I wanted one again. The washer thing is only made of delrin so I wouldn't be surprised if SS have a bag of spares somewhere. If not, it's an easy part to make on a lathe.

Tell-tale sign of a copy vs a real rail would be that a copy would be fully machined, whereas a real one would have hallmarks of being an extrusion.

interesting it would be delrin with the other washers aluminum,
