This was my big hope that I could run multiple barrels (308 for practice, 6.5 for manbun, 6GT for fabulous competition). Definitly makes me nervous (or more nervous than I already am). Have not seen others mention this issue, but I am still a plebe.

That's not out of the norm difference in size. My AI's headspaces about the same amount shorter than what is considered "spec" from AI. It is fine. Just shoot the brass and bump it .002 from the new measurements. No worries. I wouldn't go and bump the brass back down 6.5 thou each time but blowing it out then bumping it .002 is no issue.
AI is going to be more consistent than any other mass manufactured action out there but it won't be as exact as a ARC, Zermatt, Impact, etc. It is still very "pre-fitt-able" and be safe.
Grand scheme of things, 6.5 thou isn’t much. Not great but really not much. I’d be concerned if the brass above the case head was growing as well. Growth above the case head and at the shoulders will ruin brass in a short amount of time or at worse cause case head separations.
Not the end of the world but pretty misleading of AI honestly. I'd expect better.
So how much for the bag rider?
Actually wayyyy easier to take that barrel off.
Who tf uses that "bag rider" anyhow? Seems everyone just buys an actual bag rider that's long enough.
But yes, I've received some ATX's with those bag riders. Anddd they got taken off. (Don't ask, keeping them for s* and giggles. Just like the 6.5CM barrels that I won't ever shoot hahahahaha)
It's true, I was gonna get a different one anyway but it was disappointing since all the product pictures have it in there.
This is with the AICS AXSR back end bolted on, to help cleaning and removing the bolt. We didn't have the weight kits or top bridge, hence the random AI rails on the left side to act as a shelf...
In Australia, everyone froths over removing the bolt when arriving / leaving the range. Easier to do with the folder.
The ATX back end is nice though, being simple, don’t feel like you’re really missing out. The folder hinge might become available which just bolts on, no special tools needed.
AI probably realized the death rates of TT triggers and thought “Nah, better not”…
Is the lighter trigger spring included for those who’ve received their AT-X?
Mine came installed. I haven't touched it, and I'm coming from a bunch of TT at about 1lb.
The trigger is very clean, but not a 4oz. BR feel.
Mines came installed with the light spring as well—breaking right at 1lb 4oz. Not sure if I can honestly tell the difference between a TT diamond and this break but I do love the fore and aft adjustment for fit. More mfgs need to do this IMO.
What number are we up to now at MHS? I heard they got 6-8 originally but hadn’t heard an updated number yet?
96C what bag rider do you have?
??? That's just the AI factory plastic... Have never used anything different.
So you didn’t actually use gauge to check your self your relying on fire formed brass? Chambers are always gana have a different dimension unless your having several done by same guy at same time to have them make them all perfect. If you havnt done this with a head space gauge stop panicking.
Don’t let someone that’s not sure about what there doing detour you. These are switch barrel. If people don’t use head space gauges they have no business posting that head space is good incorrect.
Iv had a barrel sitting in my safe since April for my atx that may come in 22 I have zero worries. TS customs did a benchmark 6mm creedmoor for me. Can’t wait to shoot it. Or even see the gun.
Guys does this take AX mags or AT mags. Thought I read it in one of the pages but forgot
AT mags are the same as AW/AX mags fyi
double stack , dont confuse with AICS - single stack
AT mags are the same as AW, but AX mags have a small lip on the front. The AT-X is set up to use AX mags...however, you can always use AT/AW mags in an AX setup, so if you have either kind, you'll be good.
Mine will be here this week big thanks to @Fred @ Bison Tactical
who makes the best vertical grip and who was it that had the thumb shelf ?
thanks

thanks
Is there anyone making 3D printed bag riders that fit the AT-X' rear stock bolt pattern or for the picatinny rail?
I’m not going to ask cause I don’t think I want to know what that is

www.urbandictionary.com Any one of you guys with the ATX in your hands want to measure the chassis length from the butt pad to the top of the forearm for me? Trying to tie down a case for barrel off transport.
Looking at 36" from buttpad (fully collapsed) to end the end of the forend.
But if you wait on the folding hinge, it'll be shorter. Hahaha. Whenever that becomes available LOL
anyone have instructions on disassembling the ATX?
Just start unscrewing any visible screws and…. It’ll eventually come apart. Ask me how I know…
Just do not unscrew the screw directly behind the magazine catch.

Burt reposted this. But this should give you a good idea
Yep wrote to Burt, this gives me an idea but kinda was wondering if there was a "recommended" way. I can just unscrewing things but usually that usually ends in a lesson or two. Just thought i would as the "friendly" crowd here.
Yeah, I was expecting a pretty thorough manual since it was on usb key and it only says "no-shit" stuffHahaha, this is where i started the other day but stopped ... glad i did
well i missed that in all the excitment ... lookingYeah, I was expecting a pretty thorough manual since it was on usb key and it only says "no-shit" stuff
Gettin towards the end of October....
My pitchfork is gettin twitchy....

Almost forgot , wife who is not a gun person sees it and says
“Why does it have little penises all over it”
Lol
