    Gunsmithing AX firing pin safety in AE mk II

    Thanks for the reply Redneck and it's good to see youre still on the hide. I can't argue the point of selling and getting an AT but I'm very fond of this one. I guess it's sentimental. I do prefer the three position safety for the ability of locking the bolt closed, particularly when I have it...

    Gunsmithing AX firing pin safety in AE mk II

    I haven't posted in a while but here it goes. I would like to swap out my two position AE safety with a three position and found Eurooptics has an AX firing pin/safety assembly listed. Is this part compatible with my rig? When I spoke with the Eurooptics guy on the phone, he had no idea

    After watching Larry Vickers with a suppressed AW I've got an itch for subsonic ammo for my 308 AE and Templar Arc30. Is anyone out there running factory loaded subsonic ammo through these without any issue?

    Rifle Scopes schmidt Bender 4-16x42 military scopes?

    I saw that add. I like the description of it being beautiful, slightly used. Looks like its had a pretty tough existence. Shame, I'd like one.

    Gunsmithing head space on AI

    Being new to removing and reinstalling my AI barrel I am wondering if it is necessary to check headspace on my AI AE MKII every time I put the same factory barrel back on? I don't own a set of go, no go gauges and would prefer to save money for ammo. Any help would be appreciated Thanks John

    Member Link Up New England/New Hampshire

    I'm in Hampden, ME and have been a member at the Hampden club. Its not bad, some good folks there but I'm not too sure that they're very interested to expand beyond their fixed 600. Wish I could find a good LR spot to in the area.

    Suppressors barrel threading for Ark30

    It is a direct thread. Ideally my smith just wanted to be sure. He wanted me to send the can with the barrel but I'm several months away from my form 4 being approved and I'd like to shoot this winter.

    Suppressors barrel threading for Ark30

    I need to have my AI barrel threaded for a Templar Ark30 with 5/8x24 threads and was asked by the gun smith I'm using if that can needs to be timed. Does anyone out there have the exact specs/diagram for this suppressor that I can forward to the gunsmith?

    Eurooptics all the way! I ordered a sole on Monday and it was here Thursday. Then I ordered some rings on Tuesday and they were here Friday. Btw, I didn't pay extra for it to get here in three days.

    I checked with a couple insurance companies about renters insurance and specifically about my firearms. Most said home owners and renters insurance only covered up to &1500 total toe firearms.

    Thanks Brett! Other than a shot to my pride I'm doing great! If anything the scars are an excuse for why I'm so damn ugly!

    Importance of eye protection

    So I was at a friends home range in rural maine yesterday. I got a chance to play with my new to me AI AE and Glock 19 without incident and we were wrapping up when one of my friends offered up an enfield carbine he had just purchased the day before and some Wolf 303 British ammo to try out.

    AI AE MK II vs AE MK III

    A couple months ago I spoke with someone at AINA regarding a bolt conversion. He said that AI was not going to perform safety conversions on MKI or MKII bolts. He did say that if an AE owner wanted a three position safety it would be possible to buy an AW or AE MKIII bolt at a considerable cost...
