I’ve been using 80-90wt after I discovered a buddy of mine was using it on the bolt of his 50BMG AI ELR. I got down behind his rifle to check out his new scope and I could smell 80-90…. I’ve been using it on my AT and it’s made a difference. Don’t use any with Motorctaft Friction Additive….

This’ll prolly piss off a bunch of people: The AT thumb hole is difficult to use with a rear bag, mostly because of he big goofy D shaped hook. I always figured they were trying to sell monopods or something…. This is why the first thing I did when I bought my AT was put a set old AICS butt...

Is it a short action? Is it unmolested? Unmodified SAs are popular, even if it’s only a 1.5. If you want the most money, put it on the big rapacious anti gun auction platform and take your chances. If you’re not interested in doing that, think of what you absolutely have to get for it, add...

I painted my shit with WWII OD Green DuraCoat a couple days ago since the weather is less sucky. Done. Obviously this is an Accuracy International AT rifle with AE Mk1 skins but this also works on AT AICS chassis with AICS skins for R700s.

Check this out: AT rifle vandalism part 1 Strip AT rifle, remove all flush cups because we don’t need no stinkin’ flush cups, mark cuts for skins with tape. Cut skins as necessary with razor saw Test fit Hey! One of the skin screws won’t pass through the chassis fore end! Use...

Done. By the end of the month my Wife will be recovered from her knee surgery and I’ll be able to get back out on Quantico’s Range 4. I’ve been trapped in the house with her for 3 weeks with 3 to go. It’s actually worse for her- the only time she can leave the second floor is when she’s...

Finally got a decent enough day in Northern Virginia to spray some DuraCoat WWII OD green on the vandalized skins for my AT. Very bright sun for a change.

But this is a thread about AICSs right? So what happened to the LA 1.5 AICS? I put black skins on it and sold it to another Range 4 guy. The green skins go sold to a guy who “liked” my previous post. The Range 4 guy decided he wanted an AICS 2.0 so I converted his 1.5 to a 2.0 because I had...

Bolt handle broke off of it due to poor brazing from PTG. Should have been TIG welded to begin with. This is why I referred to the original builder as a gun plumber. Before it broke, the handle was also improperly timed for primary extraction- mostly ejected the cases back on to the magazine...

Here’s this R700 LA in an AICS life cycle, so far. Originaly built in 2007 by a local gun plumber on an E prefix action with a PTG bolt he had lying around for use in unofficial F class matches on Quantico’s Range 4. It was in green AICS 1.5 I bought new for under $600 from Midway, probably...

Buy one chassis and stick with it

I wish someone had said “You won’t save any money by reloading”. Not for twenty years, anyway. edited to add twenty year picture @mikeshaw2

My 54gr RL17 208 Berger hybrid target load used to run 2760 in the previous 23.5in barrel. Exact same reamer/chamber combo by the exact same dude. Headspace is within .001 of the previous barrel. Only difference is the 30in barrel. Guy spotting for me said he could actually see the trace...

I was hesitant to “like” this post. What a character. He was one of the funniest, most cynical members here. He used to post quite a bit before 2010 and was one hysterical morherfucker.

Zeroing my new Brux barrel at 1K 🙄

Ken- is that a Barrett BORS? Is it operable?

New 30 inch Brux heavy varmint 1-10 twist for one of my thousand yard rifles by my favorite PWS 2112. Previous barrel was 23.5 inches

How many do you need? How about a complete sets of green AT skins? Everything is for sale for the right price. 😀

54gr RL17, Lapua brass, 208 Berger Hybrid 3.500 COAL 210M 2760 FPS. Same reamer in all three barrels. German Salazar Serengeti .098 FB Still shot okay under 600, but I don’t shoot it under 600 except in this case. Edited to add: it even still grouped decent at 100; under a minute. It just...
