    Poor man’s AI picture thread (AICS)

    AIAW magazine. Like the ATX magazine, but without the small lip at the top front. Trigger hangar fits just fine. But I did remove the rear magazine guide bracket. Runs fine without it. I like the MKMachining grip, and added a self-made thumb rest and rear bag rider.

    Area 419 Zero Press vs SCA Nexus Press

    Has anyone heard if SAC is planning on an adapter that allows the Nexus to function as a press for in-line seating dies? Since SAC is coming out with their own in-line seater, it make sense, but I have not heard if they plan on that capability.

    Accuracy International AT-X

    Looks like they made some machining cuts to either side of the action to lighten the action.

    Is it possible to remove a TRG-42 barrel without making a relief cut?

    I’ve popped off 2 TRG actions and 4 Tikka actions with a Brownells steel barrel vise and steel external universal action wrench. I used a small sledge to pop the wrench handle. Sudden torque is better that a long bar and steady pressure.

    22GT load data

    I compared the Hornady 88 ELDM to the Berger 85.5 Hybrid the other day, powder was H4350. Preliminary data shows the 85.5 is much more consistent. Previous best charge with the 88 ELDM was 35.0gr. With the 85.5, charge of 34.2 and 35.0 shot tight little .3” groups, and the other charges of...

    Discreet carbine carrying case?

    Vertx VTAC rifle scabbard might work. More designed as a car seat back mount than as a transport case. But is pretty non-descript. https://vertx.com/vtac-rifle-scabbard

    Accuracy International AT-X

    Thumb rest made out of bent aluminum. Covered with a layer of gorilla tape. Fastened to rifle with double stick foam tape and has a hole drilled to fit under the adjacent bolt. Cheap and effective. I like the thumb rest higher than one attached to the grip. I went back to the factory ergo grip.
