Ya I have seen the bolt shrouds open up, screws come out, etc the plate falls off
I've seen em bent, almost bought a very marked down LE demo AXMC with a slightly bent bolt handle. Guess it's time to make the first and only straight bolt handle AI known to man. 
Is that how its attached....welded to the body? Maybe (most likely) its my old eyes, but its hard to see a bead from welding at all???I can see now how it fits together. My guess is the weld was weak but who knows. Hopefully nobody else has the issues.

Couple more pics so people can see kinda how they fit together. I’m not a machinist so not really sure. I’m confident they’ll take care of me in the morning. Just kind of wild that it happened.
I’ve been dry firing since my divorce. Trust me, your grip is stronger than you think
Well I did snap my firing pin and the pin that holds it into the bolt on my old impact from dry firing so much so….yeah! HahaahI’ve been dry firing since my divorce. Trust me, your grip is stronger than you think
So as a follow up. Spoke to AI just now. Got me a return label sent out to me to return it. Informed them that I have a 2 day match next weekend and they’ll be getting me something back before then. 
Good deal! I think AI's been pretty busy lately; they still have second mag that didn't function, for two weeks now.So as a follow up. Spoke to AI just now.

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), I'm not competing currently. May never again if things (nerve damage to shoulder) don't improve more, but that is a different topic all together.
I feel you there brother. Just had my first match this last weekend. Got a late start on the season cause of a torn rotator cuff so just taking it one day at a time. Getting old sucks!
Just my weekly complaint about the hinges not being sent out.
Called EO and they called AI. Said some hinges are coming in a week with most coming in by the end of May.
You must of gotten a UK boltSo as a follow up. Spoke to AI just now. Got me a return label sent out to me to return it. Informed them that I have a 2 day match next weekend and they’ll be getting me something back before then.
Hope you get what you need, good luck on the match!
Anyone know the current wait time for an AT-X if you order one through EuroOptic/Mile High?
Probably double what they say it is, but probably worth the wait.
A very long time. AI used to occasionally give production timing updates but they miss every projected date by months. I'd guess ordering now might mean end of the year delivery at best depending on color. Best plan is to watch MH/EO inventory and buy a blue or red when they are occasionally in stock. MH had red in stock recently for example and blue also comes in stock sometimes. Later if you don't like the color have the chassis cerakoted to whatever you want.
Last I checked MH still had red ones in stock.
Can anyone comment on how/why/who told AI to make a gun in red / blue??
Blue looks quite nice…

I'd love to rattle can that..
Nice kit
The red in stock keeps tempting me to cancel my DE order and buy the red and used it with my DE parts.
Channel your inner MTxTwelve, order the red, and paint it whatever colour you want.
AI wanted a gun tailored for rifle comps so atx was born. AI logo is red. So they made a red competition rifle. The blue I’m not sure??
@MTX, I believe from creeping on your IG- did you cerakote yours black first?Do it to it.
If so- who did you go with and what was the turnaround time?
Yup
Full length is gay anyway. Just put a short piece where your clip on goes.
That way you can get your hand around it easier when operating
I did - had it coated black by Presample Depot and the turnaround time was about a week. I believe Eric is quoting 2 weeks currently (and he's true to his word - he gets it done). Shoot them an email.
I had mine Cerakoted as well. From red to sniper grey.
Black Raptar or ?
Full length hand guard. Short rail.
In case you haven’t seen the last five times.
Blue is good!
I'm seriously leaning towards doing it in the Team AI pattern camo, but blue as the base instead of red.

great paint job..what colors did you use15.6 lbs (unloaded) - could definitely get it under 15 with a smaller scope and rings.
That looks great!
I got my ATX in ES today in hand. Got the call from EO Monday. Whatever I got is not a gen3 tool-less adjust stock. It’s still the hex screws to adjust.
I have a lot of things to learn about it
I have the magazine that came with it and it rattles when moved with fingers…so does my spare mag (sure hope I don’t have a feeding issue).
I got a short bridge cover. Need to get a rail for that (hope some are in stock and right length for short rail)
I also never bought a bipod for it and now wish I did ahead of time.
I see the pic of the one above me and it’s an atlas, but is that connector part of the atlas or an optional mount that you bought with the bipod?
I also waited on a bag rider until I had gun in hand. Not sure which one to get
I saw so many different bag riders on this thread over the past 6 months. Ugggghhh
I was also hoping the light trigger spring is easy to install.
Basically I got a lot to do to it. Won’t be shooting it any time this weekend

It should come with the light one on already. At least mine did.I got my ATX in ES today in hand. Got the call from EO Monday. Whatever I got is not a gen3 tool-less adjust stock. It’s still the hex screws to adjust.

As far as the bipod mount. You need abs arca mount made for the atlas. I use the one from Area 419 but RRS makes one as well.
^^^^yeah area419 is out of stock on them. I need a muzzle break for it to. Was gonna go with an area419 break and they are out of stock also.
My packet for the trigger has the light sprint still in that baggie. If your was from mile high they seem to have the light spring already in. I’m gonna have to adjust trigger the whole 9 yards.
Ohh well I’m on no hurry.
Unknownmunitions has breaks but not sure on thier T2-T3 breaks. Seem ok.
Wish cans were legal in my state.
Anyway, it’ll be a while before i shoot this thing
