    Sidearms & Scatterguns Fireclean or Froglube?

    I just got my bottle of fireclean so I only have a basic bit of info to add. 1. The fireclean definitely installs easier and in smaller portions. Much thinner and easier to pin point. 2. I WILL NEVER USE FROG LUBE EVER AGAIN. After using it with no reasonable complaints from Spring until Fall...

    AI and AX Component weights?

    Thanks a ton for the photos (again!) Any chance you might be able to try a KeyMod accessory into KeySlot? I noticed looking at KeyMod that the spacing is directly inline with 1913 pic, so I wonder if AI had the same thoughts? Also interesting on your scope is that even if there was no rail at...

    AI and AX Component weights?

    Yep... You're likely right. 13oz isn't that far fetched. I wonder what I did the first time I calced it out? I couldn't have used density higher than 7075 Al, oh well! I think I must have figured the diameter to be larger and I have no idea what that mounting block looks like inside. Also...

    AI and AX Component weights?

    Well... Shit. I'm not sure it's worth it at 13oz factory. There are three "problems" with AI's factory rail: 1. It's not Keymod. It's stupid AI "KeySlot" which ironically, they are now trying to patent with exclusivity to KeyMod. But with the common use and common application of KeyMod...

    AI and AX Component weights?

    Awesome. Yea, I had actually figured 20-26oz. If anyone could maybe use some calipers and get me the OD and ID or wall thickness that would go a long way! I could draw it up and get it very close from there.

    AI and AX Component weights?

    Brasscow, thank you very much, that's all excellent and the photos with each is a lot of work so know that I appreciate it! Yea the rail/tube I'm sure is a pain to pull, that is the main component weight I'm most curious about. Maybe someone with one in pieces will see this thread and help a...

    AI and AX Component weights?

    No, really, I only need rough weights of the components. Trust me, I know what I'm doing ;) I need the rail weight, so no, it doesn't matter if it's from an AX rifle or AX chassis old, new, or 2014-new-new. Same with the handguard, doesn't matter what it's from. I'd be more than happy to get a...

    MagnetoSpeed V3 press release !

    It just seems very unlikely to my that labradar could possibly be $400. It looks and has the feature list of something that seems right at about $800-1200

    Newbie looking for adivce for rifle purchase

    Rem 700 AAC or Tikka, in 308. The 700 is going to have a LOT more options. The Tikka will be more expensive but require less. They'll both shoot well. Warning, Tikka may lead you into AI or Sako eventually. This will cost you. Rem 700 AAC may lead you into custom 700 actions eventually. This...

    Talk me into a TRG22

    I did not know that about the mag. Tikka T3 CTR But yea, looking at the pics, that knob on the magazine is definitely there for the TRG. Hmmmm... I wonder if the mags will still be $150-200 with the CTR coming out??? That's a definite issue with the CTR if the mags are still TRG priced. I'm...

    AI and AX Component weights?

    Most of my questions can be answered with AX Rifle or with AX Chassis, it really doesn't matter to me. I don't need the weight of the AX action specifically, I know those are fixed in. I'm mostly interested in the component weights. AX handguard, AX rail, etc. It's for research, I'm not...

    AI and AX Component weights?

    Thanks XOR! That's good info. And my name goes along with your name, so, asm ops ftw. Now... If I could just get someone to weigh some AX components... :)

    MagnetoSpeed V3 press release !

    Heh, I'm not local to anyone. Was just asking because a couple people I know are interested in cyclic rates.

    MagnetoSpeed V3 press release !

    Yea, I meant the range though, like measures upto 800rpm, 1000rpm, etc. Like I wonder if it's fast/reliable enough to measure differences in cyclic rate of full auto guns. Or if "rapid fire" falls short of full auto and is more for the 200-500 rpm range?

    MagnetoSpeed V3 press release !

    That looks really good. I wonder what the rate of fire range is?

    AI and AX Component weights?

    No one has an AX Chassis in a state they wouldn't mind at least weighing the 13" or 16" rail?

    AI and AX Component weights?

    For personal research, I'm curious what a couple of the new AI components weigh. If anyone has the weights of any of these things I'd be very very grateful! 1. AX plastic forearm / grip 2. AX rail alone, 13" or 16" 3. AX grip panels + or - forearm/handguard/carry grip 4. AI short action...

    Krg gen4 vs. Aics AX new version

    I know I'm late to the party, but I have some thoughts on the two... KRG W3C - is a Sako TRG chassis for the Rem 700. It's all identical from rear end compatibility, grip angles, etc. So, you're basically asking Sako vs AI for ergos. You will receive no correct answer. It's all personal...

    Folding stock effects

    I'd get the AX if it's ready right away. It's lighter, and with the AT version of the AICS coming out it makes no sense to me to get the old version. I haven't been able to find the weight on the AT chassis, that might complicate things for you. I've never shot a folding stock gun that I...

    New X-Ray Chassis from KRG-now shipping!

    You know, I didn't think too much about it until I overlayed your W3C over an AI in photoshop. That diaper around the mag just isn't there on yours, so yea, it really loos like it isn't needed nearly as much.
