What's the best way to mount a sling QD cup on the left front rail?

There's got to be a cheaper option that does the same thing... I'll loop paracord through the keymod before I spend that much on a sling mount lolThe $80 pic rail sections they sell...
All the thought that went into this chassis and an integral front QD sling cup wasn't on that list.... Or left out on purpose to scam you for an extra $80 after already spending $5000 lol
Some quick basement shots of my blue!
Not $80 but not cheap either.

whats this weigh with the short barrel
I'm going to add a red to it from 2nd production, then find something in white... red/white/blue
Actually, I'm digging the blue.

Bathroom scale, no bipod, no mag, 18" factory AI 308 barrel, TBAC brake, MK5 7-35 = 13.6 lbs. Very well balanced with either the short barrel or a 26" HV barrel.
Is it confirmed this will work with the AT-X? I assume post ‘14 screws?Not $80 but not cheap either.

Not to be rude, but if you change an 18” barrel with a 26” heavy varmint, one of the 2 setups will not be balanced. Unless you added or removed weight somewhere else on the chassis
Jeez man. Obviously they don't balance identically, but the rifle feels very well balanced with either barrel. It doesn't feel front heavy with the heavier barrel and it doesn't feel rear heavy with the short.
So either the AT-X defies the laws of physics or this is your idea of “balance” for a rifle

You are going to love the AT-X V2. It’s going to have sling studs, a rear bag rider, more elevation in the cheek piece, an ability to add weights in the rear stock and it will come with a 15 round mag plus some secret shit that you didn’t know you needed but you do.
Apparently, this time they’ve got some actual competition shooters to help them design it !!!
Can’t tell if serious…
The v2 is going to be released in 2030, right along with factory 223 and mag bolts.
Thanks for clarifying haha
To be fair, where a rifle “balances” is more personal preference than anything. I prefer mine a little front heavy because it feels better to me that way, I’m able to get on target faster and manage recoil better.
I understand what you’re saying that all else being equal, barrel lengths of 18” and 24” will shift the actual balance point by a few inches. Fortunately, we have things like different barrel lengths/contours, weights, and suppressors to put it exactly where we like it.
Point being that there is no right or wrong balance point… the rifle is “balanced” where you shoot it best, not at its actual point of equilibrium.
I'm aware. My point is if one considers a rifle set up "balanced" with an 18" factory (thinner contour) barrel, if you change that out for a 26" HV it will no longer be "very well balanced". That's a massive difference. If he said a 20" HV and a 24" medium palma, I could understand. This is off topic anyway.
Of course I’m serious. It’s gonna be the best competition Rifle AI will have ever produced.
Once the long bridge was delivered, this picture was too good not to take. One day all this stuff will get put to use….

That’s a question for someone else. Who knows. For now, I can just imagine it’s there.
What color was it again? Euro or MH?

Love the new FDI, Flat Dark Invisible!
I suppose I am. I was told by Euro that they were getting in DE rifles slowly when I ordered. Then they said they were getting a delivery of them any day. Guess that’s incorrect. Don’t mind a wait, when I’m told I’ll have to wait. The miscommunications are kinda annoying though.
Signed up to travel to Altus and shoot my ATX at the AI match in March. Gonna be hard to do that without a rifle.
But watch AI give away an ATX there….
Yeah I'm really digging the Blue, gonna have to call MH and see if they are expecting their Blue's as well. Anyone else order a blue from MH pretty early on here?
No black
No blue
No ATX for you!

Who makes the bag rider that you are using on your rifle?
I don't know who "They" is, but the AT-X from the beginning has been sold as a base rifle. We could bundle it up with a whole group of accessories that shooters may or may not use, but the price would be higher.
You mean P/N 25852BL, 80mm, 7075 alloy, MILSTD Anodize Hardcoat, Cerakote top coat, nitride steel flushcup insert, corrosion resistant fasteners, that will hold over 300 lbs.? Please remember this is still an AI and it is built to the same standards as our military sniper rifles and uses many of the same accessories.The $80 pic rail sections they sell...
You don't have to tell me, I already bought it and don't regret it at all.
Also, FYI a little bird told me that the hinge can be ordered from EO. Please believe I’ve already checked out @Scott Seigmund @tomirwin
Got a full photo of the rifle? I also bought a black bridge for the DE rifle. Thanks.
Looks awesome. I’m even more glad I grabbed the black bridge now.
A call came in today....
BLACK IS BACK BABY!
BLACK IS BACK BABY!
Just confirmed payment and the other goodies (Bridge, mount, sling QD attach) they are temporarily out of bag riders.. Shipping tomorrow.
You should call MH!
What might the part number be for the hinge? Called EO and no love.
29795BL-AI
??, I ordered one from EO this morning.
When I asked mile high and euro optic. Not trying to have a debate just the the pic rail cam with it that’s all. There is very little info on the rifle to tell you exactly what came with it when almost every picture showed a bag rider and a pic rail on the front. So I had questioned both of them and they both were under the impression that pic rail came with it but that was back early in the year. It’s not that big of a deal was just a question for the guys that have received them.
You bought a $5K rifle and you’re complaining about an $80 accessory...
