    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    It's not interchangeable with the comp trigger, but the guts are supposedly similar.

    AXSR has 5 action screws and is not bonded, AXMC has 4 action screws and is bonded

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    The most awesome sound I've heard at a match was a guy shooting 6 Dasher through his Gen 1 338 Ultra

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    You can easily remove the bolt and measure the firing pin hole or firing pin tip diameter to determine if it's small or large. Something like 0.062" is small, 0.080" (can't remember the exact number) is large. If it's large, you have three options. Try it with a 6 creed barrel, see if it...

    Bonding action to chassis

    I also think flat-bottom actions like the AI benefit more from being bonded than a round action in a v-block chassis. Flat on flat has no way to resist lateral movement other than the tension from the action screws.

    Bonding action to chassis

    In my experience with AIs, the bonded action/chassis interface is superior. I tested my chassis unbonded, and it actually shot awesome. But when I whacked the shit out of the barrel with a mallet the zero shifted and the groups opened up. The bonded action did not have this issue, and in...

    AI AX308 Grip mods?

    Not sure of the details yet, I'll keep you guys posted

    AI AX308 Grip mods?

    Looks like Christian figured out what changes needed to be made to fit an AXAICS R700 chassis

    Accuracy International Picture Thread

    I bet the AI palma rifles aren't worth much compared to an AT or an AX. There just aren't that many people shooting that kind of match anymore. If it's not some rare, valuable rifle, I'd be totally on board with machining a magwell and modernizing it with a new chassis of some kind.

    Does this action have the same footprint as the AT/AW/AX308? If so, and you know it’ll fit the current chassis design, your best bet is probably a WTB ad in the PX to see if you can find someone in the UK who has converted to the AO/V chassis and has the old AI chassis laying around. There...

    AI AX308 Grip mods?

    The mighty AI 7-axis is always a viable option!

    AI AX308 Grip mods?

    There isn't an R700 version of the AI Vision grip panels at this time, and I can't guarantee it would work to modify/Dremel the AT/AX/AO version of the grip panels to get it to work on an R700.

    Suppressors New TBAC Brake+Can

    @Zak Smith I'm very excited to see this prototype! A couple questions/comments/thoughts, understanding you're not at liberty to answer them: 1. Do you have any videos on how timing the brake works? It looks slick, but I'm not understanding how the brake gets clocked correctly once the can is...

    Suppressors Flow Through Suppressors?

    That seems to be a similar approach to the new SilencerCo Velos LBP. It's a hybrid, 3D printed and welded flow through design, with more durable materials and blast baffle than the fully 3D printed Huxwrx. I would assume a company like SilencerCo has more money to throw at this than a smaller...

    Suppressors New HUXWRX Flow 762

    I think the mid to long term future for 3D printed metals is multiple metal disposition. I'm pretty sure it can be done already. Either combining two different sintered powders into a mixture (like Ti and Inco), or printing different materials in different areas where you want them. That would...

    Suppressors New HUXWRX Flow 762

    Did they give any more specific data on durability, in terms of Ti being able to withstand blast chamber and baffle erosion? I see they are showing it "passes" 6 SURGE cycles which is great, but does that mean it showed no visible signs of baffle wear, or it was totally beat to hell, etc? I...

    Suppressors New HUXWRX Flow 762

    My main concern is the 100% Ti construction, without the blast chamber or baffles being made from a more durable material. I understand the challenges of only being able to use one material with 3D printing, and weight/cost as a penalty of making the entire 7.62 can out of 17-4 like the Flow...

    Suppressor Barrel Alignment, how concentric does it need to be?

    I think the Huxwrx muzzle devices (flash hider and brake) don't need to be timed, so you shouldn't even need a washer. Otherwise I use the TBAC peel washers or a muzzle shim kit.
