Well I guess I’ll be pre-ordering one tomorrow. Im not a fan of the plastic one but it was all that I found readily available at the time.
- Thread starter Peter Laurvick
- Start date
On a pallet with a bunch of NLAWs and Javelins heading to Ukraine.
You wouldn't deny those guys a hinge, would you?
Yep, I'm getting pretty irritated at the lack of hinge kit. Can't get any availability date from local dealer, distributor or AI themselves. Been waiting 8+ months since the hinge was ordered, along with the rifle. Having to remove the cheekpiece to remove the bolt is not cool.
The seekins hit rifle is in stock at most scheels. Comes with a folder and a bag rider, quick change barrel and only $2100. Buy that, wait for the atx to ship then decide which one to keep.
Surely can’t be too much longer
Hopefully get to fire a few through it before that happens. Then have to go bury it in a paddock like was done with many an AR in ‘96. Dude had a FDE one at a comp on Saturday so hopefully be soon…..ish!
Given I cancelled my ATX preorder… if any of you Aussies are interested in a brand new black long forend bridge, lmk. Hell, I can even coat it to a color of your choice..
Shit, I paid in full last December...
Maybe they lost your order?
Don't think so, just didn't make the first production run apparently. Any sort of update would be nice, even if it was hurry up and wait. The radio silence is a bit frustrating.
But they have enough to give away at matches and sell to randos on Saturdays. Lol
Same, I'm waiting for an update on 2nd batch production deliveries starting "late march."

Can you post your issues here? I think it needs to be posted, just not in the pinned "Official AT-X" thread up top.
Tom Irwin also frequents this one as well.

Its dangerous to think every mass produced item will be museum grade copy, Iconic the brand or model etc, notwithstanding...@MarinePMI ok I will re-post it here since you asked so nicely
Hopefully this is fixable to an appropriate standard of performance.

Mine does the same.
The rear of the mag is noticeably lower and can be pushed back/up. Then it runs perfectly.
But once I let up on the pressure, you can see the mag move down and forward in the magwell.
6cm runs over 30-50% of the rounds.

Didn’t you literally just buy one too??

I bought mine from someone who got an elite sand in nov/dec and only fired it a handful of times.
Right. I knew you had just got one from someone. Pretty Shitty that you now have to deal with this
Sounds like the same batch as mine. The weird thing is, the AW mags from my AI-AT run fine through the AT-X. Go figure.

It seems associated more with AX mags with the front lip. Regardless, it should absolutely feed with AX mags.
I’m not incredibly worried about it. I’m sure it will be taken care of.

It’s not ideal for sure. But the rifle is pretty awesome overall.
I’m more posting about it so that others who may be experiencing, but second guessing themselves, can feel better that it might be an issue they need to have corrected.
I had the same issue with my MC and AXSA with short action AX mags.
Yeah, same here. First production LRIP issues.
It happens, and AI has always made things right, so I'm not too concerned either. Match on Sunday, so I'll just run AW mags until this all gets sorted out.
Will check mine (February model whatever that is) here tonight and report back.
18" ???
Any chance you folks can ship to Canada, or would ITAR kill that?

next batch just came back from anodizing today
ITAR limit is $500usd now, so there is no reason they couldnt. Lots of businesses still arent up to date with the regs, or just CBF with international sales - which I understand.
I just checked mine feeds 6cm shitty. @Timo Turl who'd you contact at AI? Also, where does the shim go?
Jesus not very confidence inspiring this, hopefully if it is a problem here in Australia when the rifle turns up it can be fixed here with the boys at Delta. Last week fella had feeding issues at a PRS comp so there’s another one to add to the mix.

Beating this horse isn’t going to help.
Shit happens. Let’s allow them to work it out properly without grabbing pitchforks.

I have a November 2021 delivered AT-X. My bolt rides over multiple empty AX mags. I didn’t encounter any feeding issues out of the 60 rounds of factory Hornady 6cm 108 ELD-M. I did notice feed issues with some 6.5cm out of the 120-ish rounds I tested before throwing the 6cm barrel on it.

Yeah, this is my first AI—I expect it be to be rectified but I’m still disappointed now that I know the issue is manufacturing related. Whatever, I buy sig sauer so don’t mind beta testing
I didn’t know it’s not supposed to not run over the mag when empty and I attributed the few feeding issues on me or ammo.

I expect defective chassis to be replaced.
I didn’t spend $6000 on a “system” to end up with half Ass shims shoved in with action bolts
Take the chassis that need a shim and sell them as factory blems for $1-2k off retail. Or give owners option of $1-2k back for using shin.
If they seriously just give you a shim and say GFL , then il probably sell this thing and get a Terminus and MPA/MDT or similar.
This is like the cinder block on the camels back after the lack of QC exhibited and the slow roll
Of accessories.
