    ***SOLD*** Accuracy International AT 20 MOA High Action Rail #26612

    This came stock on my AI AT. As I wanted a lower scope height and I don't plan on using night vision I bought the low rail version so I don't need this. ***SOLD***. PayPal friends & family.

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Viper VRD-6 red dot problem

    I have a Vortex Viper VRD-6 6moa scope that I mounted on my Mossberg 12 ga auto. The red dot turns on and off fine and increases/decreases intensity fine, but the dot itself has a small tail on the lower right making it look like a comma. I've heard of antismatism and looked at it with both...

    Accuracy International AT trigger adjustment question

    Well it looked to have 3/4" of space from the back of the trigger to the nearest part of the grip skin, but I just took off the skin and you're right, it is hitting the hidden inside part of the skin at the top of the trigger Thanks, problem solved!

    Accuracy International AT trigger adjustment question

    I have a 2014 AI/AT and saw a video of adjusting the position of the trigger by loosening the 2.5mm screw on the trigger and sliding it back or forth to your liking and I tried doing that today. I slid the trigger all the way rearward which felt comfortable for me and tightened the screw, but...

    Gunsmithing Used AI barrel chamber issue

    Things to keep in mind. 1. I bought this used barrel on ebay from a seller in Texas and I am in California so I was not able to check the headspace with my bolt. 2. Mark at Spartan Rifles checked the barrel on my AI AT with a .260 go gauge and it would not chamber on my rifle. 3. The ebay...

    Gunsmithing Used AI barrel chamber issue

    From my understanding, fire cracking can also occur from hot loads and rapid firing without a cool down. From the sellers description, I assumed that he was not the original owner of the barrel. He wrote that the loads he fired were 136 scenars at a little over 2900 fps with 43.2 gr of H4350...

    Gunsmithing Used AI barrel chamber issue

    Yeah, in hindsight, I agree I should have asked a few more questions, but it is what it is now, and since the seller is in Texas and I'm here in California, I think the shin bashing idea, is a bit impractical. Thanks for your thoughts on the subject though.

    Will do. Thanks again to all.

    Gunsmithing Used AI barrel chamber issue

    In his description he wrote "unknown rounds". I should have remembered that old latin phrase, "caveat emptor". But on a positive note, since I got it for $225 and Mark's work will be another 2 bills, when I get it back it will still be a bargain as it is already fluted and threaded for a brake.

    Gunsmithing Used AI barrel chamber issue

    I took the barrel and rifle to Spartan Rifles yesterday and had Mark look at it. It wouldn't close on the "go" gauge. Diagnosis is that the chamber was too short and the throat had significant erosion and fire cracking. We decided to cut off 1 1/2" at the breech and rechamber it. I don't...

    Gunsmithing Used AI barrel chamber issue

    No, as I've tried it with brand new commercial ammo and even and empty new case and new case sized. No marks on the bullets at all.

    Gunsmithing Used AI barrel chamber issue

    ShtrRdy, I tried your test and the bolt closes smooth as butter with the safety in the middle position. I'm going to have a local smith take a look at it and check the headspace. Spartan Rifles is about 10 minutes away, and hopefully he can squeeze me in to look at it. Anyway, thanks to all...

    Gunsmithing Used AI barrel chamber issue

    Another great suggestion. When I dropped both the loaded cartridge and the new empty into the detached barrel they both dropped in without any resistance. I then tried this: I screwed the barrel back into the receiver and rather than putting a lot of torque on it when it bottomed out, I just...

    Gunsmithing Used AI barrel chamber issue

    I just tried chambering again a new Lapua case, this time with the safety in the middle postion as suggested (which held the firing pin back) It went in smooth and the bolt closed smoothly. I then tried feeding from the magazine a new Federal Fusion 120 gr cartridge, again with the safety in...

    Gunsmithing Used AI barrel chamber issue

    Just tried an empty new Lapua case and it did chamber although very tight. I bought some commercial .260 rem tonight and tried it and it chambered it ok but still tight. I guess it's OK. I'm use to a lot less bolt closing force on my .308 and 6.5 Creedmoor factory AI barrels. I guess some...

    Gunsmithing Used AI barrel chamber issue

    I bought a used Krieger 260 Rem barrel off ebay for my AI/AT. It was chambered by Moon at Crescent Customs. The seller posted pics of the great groups it produced. I got it and it looks to be in good shape. I bought some Lapua brass and a set of dies for it. I seated a Hornady 140 ELD on of...
