    AI bolt pics

    I noticed that you have a lot of experience with AI rifles. I bought an AI AX (6.5CM) last year (my first bolt gun), and I'm surprised at how little maintenance and lubrication the bolt requires...according to the Owner's manual. Do you mind me asking how often you clean and lubricate your AI...

    Range Report Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

    I currently don't have a handheld weather meter (like a Kestrell 4000...maybe Santa has one). But I just started playing around with Ballistic AE on my iPhone, and I see it has an interesting weather feature: "One-Touch Atmosphere (tm) (Core Location) Correct your calculations for the current...

    Range Report Ballistic AE .. what is it missing that you want..

    Sorry this is a bit off topic, but I just downloaded Ballistic AE and I have been playing around with the various features, etc. I want to apply spin correction and it asks for twist rate and projectile length. I'm shooting Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor 140 grain A-Max, and I can't find any data on...

    What to buy - AI AE, AW OR AX

    Makes sense. I don't have a lot of storage options right now, so I'm stuck using the case for awhile. But it's very dry in Utah so I'm not worried about moisture. But I will keep it in the back of my mind. But as far as decocking the bolt goes I've been poking around and it seems most people...

    What to buy - AI AE, AW OR AX

    I store the rifle "folded" in a case. the AI AX butt stock folds to one side and the bolt handle is on the opposite side. This results in things sticking out all over the place. Removing the bolt allows the folded rifle to lay flatter which makes it easier to close the case.

    What to buy - AI AE, AW OR AX

    quick question about storing or transporting the rifle. in some cases i want to remove the bolt and store it outside of the rifle. when i remove the bolt it cocks the firing pin. i have a feeling there's an obvious answer (but i don't know what it is :) how do you decock the firing pin for cases...

    Gunsmithing Advise on precision rifle (AI AX) bolt cleaning and lubrication

    I hear what you and others are saying. It's good to know these rifles are so robust that they can get by fine with seemingly little mantenance. I just figured I have plenty of spare time (I'm retired) and I actually enjoy cleaning and maintaining all of my guns. I'm almost disappointed that I...

    What to buy - AI AE, AW OR AX

    I got my Ai AX 6.5 Creedmoor 24" barrel with a S&B 5-25x P4F from the folks at Mile High Shooting, and all i can say is this thing is awesome (and heavier than sh*t). I took it to the local range this morning (cold and snowing) to zero the scope at 100 yards. the results were all rifle in spite...

    Gunsmithing Advise on precision rifle (AI AX) bolt cleaning and lubrication

    surprisingly little. this is my first bolt gun, and i'm just surprised at how little (apparently) they need in the way of cleaning and lubrication. i have a SCAR 17 and the forums have tons of detailed write-ups, pictures, drawings, 3D renderings, animations, videos, etc. explaining where, when...

    Gunsmithing Advise on precision rifle (AI AX) bolt cleaning and lubrication

    I've read a lot of very helpful information on snipershide about barrel break-in (or not) and barrel cleaning. But I haven't been able to find much information on the bolt. Does anybody have any advise on how to properly maintain, clean and lubricate the bolt, rails, etc. thank you.

    Gunsmithing Precision Rifle Cleaning

    This is my first bolt rifle, so thank you for all the hand holding. I've read hundreds of posts on cleaning barrels, and this information is very helpful. I have another question. I have searched for previous posts on how to maintain, clean, lubricate, etc. the bolt, firing pin, lugs, etc...
