Haha was just curious since the designs look pretty similar with the lower bore height etc etc. might be useful for someone with an AT considering making a jump to the ATX vs just buying a new chassis for it.

I’d just like to see the AT-X in left hand.
Done.
Done.
Mine out here looking like a Frankenstein gun. Lol.
On its way to get a few barrels cut and custom paint job. Hopefully the high action rail will be in soon so I can put the full length Nv rail on it.

Does the old AT high rail not fit?Mine out here looking like a Frankenstein gun. Lol.

I don’t know. I don’t have one. Just the rail that came with the AT-X. EuroOptoc has a bunch of the high rails on back order so hopefully soon
I thought they would, I was under the impression it was the same action.
I'd figure some of the early AI-AT adopters probably have the high mount that they'd let go. A lot of them went to the low mount, after mod 2 to AI-AT rolled out (followed by the SFP bolt).
Pretty sure all 2014 AI-AT's came with the high rail (I know mine did), that a lot of people swapped out when AI offered the low rail because of community feedback.

I have one on back order that I already paid for. I don’t think it will be too much longer. Gun is gonna be at the smiths for a bit anyways getting a tune up.

No new colors for 2022. We need to recover from getting face punched for making the improvements that early adopters asked for.I'm liking mine... my blue, red is on order... and got to figure something out for white...

I feel like Scott and Tom need an anger translator lol...
Now now… you are a Mod. You are not supposed to say “fuck off.”
You are supposed to be helpful and even nurturing.
By, for example, leading with statements like “How may I help you fuck off?” Or “Do you need some guidance in how to fuck off?”
I mean… with great responsibility comes a need to help our fellow members fuck off in a sensitive manner. Not just tell them to Piss up a fucking rope in some kind of crass or uncultured manner.
Cheers and follow me for more good fucking off advice….

I didn't use my punch, can I exchange it for a coupon on a hinge?
$7,000 Canadian… isn’t that like $78 bucks American? Been a while since I checked.
Maybe he is talking that Canadian Tire money they all seem to love.

You are correct Sirhr. Had I the patience and proper feelings, I would have simply posted this, and hoped that some would understand it's meaning....
It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

But, after thinking about it, I think I'll continue with my endeavors to be economical with my written prose.
"Now fuck off" is just so much more efficient.

Is that a prototype Gen 3 buttstock? Looks
Like single adjustment screws for lol and cheek piece
Everybody likes cunts, pussies, vaginas, clams, and gashes.
What we don't like is Surly Joes...
It’s an ASR stock.
The bonding on AI rifles goes back to the L96, 40 years ago, when our action machining was nothing like it is today and the chassis components were from castings and were welded. Any irregularities between the action and chassis could be taken up with epoxy.
When the AX50 was developed it was designed, developed and tested without epoxy bonding and has worked extremely well since.
AI continually improves our processes and when the ASR came along we had already tested a non bonded AT for well over a year and thousands of rounds. The tolerances on the action and chassis using CNC machinery was to a level that epoxy and welding was no longer required. The elimination of epoxy made the assembly process cleaner, more streamlined and quicker as we did not have to wait hours for epoxy to cure.
Did it also cut cost? Yes but that was not the reason for doing it. The cost benefits were low compared to the health and safety benefits in assembly for our employees and the ease of disassembly for service and repair. Just because we promote a feature for decades it does not mean we will not change it if we think it is going to be better.
We do not cut corners in order to cut costs.
Quality, safety, ruggedness, reliability, low maintenance, accuracy and pride in our products are how we run our business.

Well said and thanks for the interesting history.
Something I never considered until I was talking to a buddy of mine who used to work at AI was import cost. He informed me what they were paying to import actions into the US. Said it was around $1000.00 per action. If that’s true that’s then that’s ridiculous.
I prefer something a little more cultured like, "Please take some time to go find a dark room and get sexually acquainted with yourself."
The form you used doesn't use the "you" so it sounds professional enough.
And you used the standard not expanded form. You could have used stronger forms than what you used.
So @MarinePMI it seems you used the standard professional version of what to do with himself. Bravo. (This sentence isn't sarcastic. You did what needed to be done in a good concise way.)
Also @sirhrmechanic well said above.
Now to everybody else. There are other ways to say things to get people to back off but they aren't concise in any way.
Now back to the regularly scheduled hearing about the cool products from the people who put in the work to make awesome products that they are always trying to make better. It's weird how over time stuff gets better as things are figured out and changes are made. Fancy that that progress is possible.
Different tax and VAT rates apply depending on if the imported goods are materials vs a finished product. The latter usually being much higher. 1000 dollars seems a very high from my experience importing goods, but not out of the realm of possibility for a full firearm. It depends what AI is claiming as the value of the action.
Anyone found a preorder yet for the chassis?
11% FAET or in other words 11% Pitman Robertson Act money. Probably more as well. Idk. I'm not in the business.
@Scott Seigmund no mention of it in the shot show videos, does the R700 chassis have an adjustable mag catch?
Thanks for the history behind bonding. Appreciate the information.
Lol. I don't swear very much at all off this site (almost only driving, and then it is confined to "jackass"). I rarely drop an F-bomb, and if I do it's only to emphasize the grave nature of whatever I'm talking about. Because I use it so rarely it has the intended impact. Suddenly when I log in I feel like I'm a 22y/o, invincible, E-5 again and talking to my buddies with a beer in my hand where every other word is fuck... What could be better than that?
To me SH is a entertainment, where I can talk about one of my favorite hobbies with guys who share my avocation. Unavoidably I've made alot of real life friends here. I guess if I was a professional marksman, sponsored, and it was my whole life I might feel differently. I think "we" (those like me) outnumber your kind by a very wide margin, and if this place did not make my laugh and make my day better (and it didn't sweat the small stuff like swearing) I would not fucking log on, ever! My bet is thousands of other people wouldn't either. Lighten up Francis.
Big fan of the Gen 1 nastiness. Drastic improvements over the AX, even without a folding stock. I was able to snag the long forend bridge and have a couple of Proof CF barrels in the mix, too - great things to come.

Also I can’t imagine feeling “shorted” because of a fuckin thumbscrew. Give me that old ass Gen 1 all day. Some people’s kids man.
No. Within our family of products you aren't going to need an adjustable magazine catch. 3rd party magazines seem to be all over the map and thus the adjustable catches that are showing up on various products. Rimfire mags are another matter entirely. We have all the major rimfires for continued testing. Within the same brand some work and some don't. There are a lot of challenges to reliably feed a .22 round in a mag system made for a 7.62.

If there is one thing I learned over the course of nearly 50 pages, it’s that statistically this photo of someone behind the rifle is very likely photoshopped. Please have your username engraved on the rifle and send 53 photos of your feet for verification.
…….great looking rifle; even if it’s the completely unusable, obsolete Gen. 1!
I have the Gen 1 as well and I welcome it’s competition directed improvements!
Probably so it stays put even if the mount gets slightly loose. After some use and abuse the arca can get loose and slip. With a pic mount that pretty much never happens. Area419 scalloped their arcs for this exact reason to give you the adjustability of arca with the solid retention of a pic rail. Just my guess
What bag rider is that? I like the look of that....Big fan of the Gen 1 nastiness. Drastic improvements over the AX, even without a folding stock. I was able to snag the long forend bridge and have a couple of Proof CF barrels in the mix, too - great things to come.

Looks like a Bugholes/SPR bag rider. I have one on my AXMC and it's great.

Just like @generalzip mentioned, ARCA can wear and I'm not in any rush to wear down this forend just yet, so I just use picatinny as a plug for practice.
@MarinePMI it is the bugholes rider - a little on the heavy side, but it's a solid product.
It seems like their website is not working correctly, but thanks for the tip. I'll try and order one later.
Or just, "Fornicate away"...
