Re: 16" AI AW

Going to make it into a covert with a suppressor?
 
Re: 16" AI AW

Neat rig. I have a new 20" coming in for mine, and am contemplating sending my 26" out to get cut way down.
 
Re: 16" AI AW

The NV Mount is made by Knights Armament and I dont believe that they are for sale to the public.

Yeah, but not in the typical since. I have a sand storm that I'll run on it from time to time.
 
Re: 16" AI AW

LW,
Not yet its still with Stacey right now. Will have some soon enough when it gets back.
 
Re: 16" AI AW

Extremely nice set up. Don't care about velocity. I want one. Want kind of optics do you have in mind ?

I really don't need a reason to cut the AE down. </div></div>

You should do it.

I have a 16" 700 already so the data is pretty established.

168 AMAX TAP 2430ish

We are planning on putting a 3-12x56 Hensoldt on it.

Deadly,

Beautiful weapon you have there. Most people usually go to work to earn money...this job might take it back...and then some.

Once I had the part number from KAC's site I did a little digging and found it for just a little under $700

Damn that's pricey.

Me too. I've just been sick with them lately. Ever since I cut down that PSS...

Been thinking about a shorty (18-20" or so) 300wm hunting rifle. Lightweight build.

Getting a bit to close to hunting season to be starting a project for that though...
 
Re: 16" AI AW

Yepper, that's the NV mount I was kind of looking for when posting my thread searching for an alt. to the Badger unit. Typical KAC prices though................ It is a bit more compact than the BO offering which is nice.

The rifle looks good though!

Re: 16" AI AW

Nice!, Nathan, is this one yours as well as the Tan colored AW? Nice collection!
 
Re: 16" AI AW

Just noticed that it's a magnum brake on the end, how do you like that compared to the single chamber AI brake?

They are very similar. I dont know why he'd want to thread it the AI magnum break threading for a .308 incase he decides to use a suppressor, not many come with that thread pattern in .30cal, just sayin.

Re: 16" AI AW

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: LoneWolfUSMC</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Its an AWM brake. The Badger does not have the same shape clamp, and in deadly's pic you can see the hole to mount the AI backup sight. </div></div>
Lol shows how much I know about the brakes. Nathan, why did you guys go with the AIM threading? doesn't that limit what supressors you can use greatly?
 
Re: 16" AI AW

The threads and suppressors at the shop are all in metric. No reason to switch anything. And it is the AWM brake,

Re: 16" AI AW

the KAC mount is not worth the price of addmission.the badger is the better unit.
 
Re: 16" AI AW

Plenty of suppressors in 18x1.5

I didn't hesitate to order mine in that size.

Worst case scenario if I want to use it on another rifle down the road- I thread that rifle in 18x1.5

This rifle ended up coming with the KAC mount. I dont have any problems with it.

I have the badger on my AE and it works great too.
 
Re: 16" AI AW

You'd think that knowing the owner of the rifle that we'd at least have a sexy picture of said rifle with an optic on it by now. Jeeezzz!!
 
Re: 16" AI AW

Is the barrel the plain but cut down ,or is it a custom barrel?

+1. Good luck resisting temptation, Deadly. You're a better man than I. That rig is SICK. Post some range reports with the Sandstorm. That's the can I'm planning on getting for my rig.

It's a new UK barrel cut to spec.
 
Re: 16" AI AW

Neat, I've been putting serious though in a short range .223Rem AICS 2.0 build with a barrel on 16" or below. Not planning on any muzzle brake though, makes it short short short.

This build of yours is inspirational.
