Hes going to sort itHave a chat with Mark at FMJ Firearms, he’s here in UK and has matches for most AI colours I believe.
He’s on here somewhere too if you search
Where is that? 1673? Dang
Snuck in a shot of my son shooting out to 1297 yrds. We shoot at a military range and they don’t allow pictures of the range. Steel targets move randomly weekly. We range, shot and impact targets at 852, 906, 1152, and 1297 today. Using 155 gr Palma’s all day.. Like it ain’t no thing to it with this AX. Ranged another one at 1673 yrds though never tried. But it was a nice day at the range shooting with the AI.
Hornady ELD match shot the best for me, the only fgmm I,shot were the Berger 130.s but the hornady shot better for meSo I picked up a 26” 6.5 barrel for my axsa, looking at ammo now and I can find 140 gr fgmm, and 140 gr eld, and the cheaper 123gr American eagle. What are peoples experiences of those rounds in the AXSA?
Interesting, looks like time to buy boxes of what I can find and see what she like the most.Hornady ELD match shot the best for me, the only fgmm I,shot were the Berger 130.s but the hornady shot better for me

Looks like the consensus though is that the 140, and 147 Elds are laser makers.
Good to know, just from looking over many threads on best performing and most accurate 6.5 loadings, many have sung the praises of both the 140 and the 147. I appreciate the info.The 140 has worked ok to well for me in the past (factory and handloads)
I don’t know where are you getting this “consensus” from but id advise to steer clear of the 147eldm anything.
Any special reason why to steer clear of the 147 ? I’ve been using the 147gr factory TAP ammo and my own hand loads with zero issues.The 140 has worked ok to well for me in the past (factory and handloads)

147's have have a tendency to blow up mid flight to target. Hornady refuses to acknowledge the issue and places the blame on every one but themselves. What what I have read, seems isolated to those bullets and not the 140's but I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.Any special reason why to steer clear of the 147 ?

Email them and find out! I have found them to be really responsive.Also.. what's the reason that the Anarchy Outdoors Thumb Shelf isn't compatible with the fixed version..
It seems my fixed has the holes in the right place?
@samb300Also.. what's the reason that the Anarchy Outdoors Thumb Shelf isn't compatible with the fixed version..

Yeah from looking at the pictures I can see that.. but surely we could just buy the retainer thing in order to install it?@samb300
I asked the same question. Was told the shelf utilizes the same hole the folding “retainer” uses
Samb300 will know
The fixed chassis is missing the hole that’s in the folding chassis used for the retaining feature.Also.. what's the reason that the Anarchy Outdoors Thumb Shelf isn't compatible with the fixed version..

Mr. JayjayUK, I’m very sorry but you have to buy a brand new AIAT with folder to use the thumb shelf.Yeah from looking at the pictures I can see that.. but surely we could just buy the retainer thing in order to install it?
Oh no... such a shame... I will just have to tell my wife that I NEED to buy a new rifle so that my thumb has a comfy seat to sit on whilst I shoot...Mr. JayjayUK, I’m very sorry but you have to buy a brand new AIAT with folder to use the thumb shelf.
Ok lol j/k maybe time to break out the drill press and tap a hole? Maybe a gunsmith job.
lol!Oh no... such a shame... I will just have to tell my wife that I NEED to buy a new rifle so that my thumb has a comfy seat to sit on whilst I shoot...
White trash way: Just pop out the plastic cover, squirt a bunch of JB Weld in there, slap on the thumb rest, attach the front of it the correct way. For the rear hole buy a self-tapping sheet metal screw and blast it in there before the epoxy dries. THERE I FIXED IT.Albeit a thought just popped into my head, those little plastic bits that fill the holes are relatively deep.. I might try see if I can drill a hole in one of them and fixed a nut too it.. use one screw that goes all the way through and another shallow one...?
I might just do something like that.. I now have spare plastic cover bits so why notlol!

Whoa, I was joking! Don’t use JB Weld! You’ll wind up with your plastic skins epoxied to your metal spine! Or worse if it leaks into the trigger.I might just do something like that.. I now have spare plastic cover bits so why not
Way easy!Easy
No tapping required, just the correct size hole For the SS/ silver boss.
Get the Anarchy AT RH thumbrest; SKU AI-TR-AT-RH that has the SS/silver threaded boss.
Drill 1x hole in the correct place, RHS chassis and that boss slots not screws right in, is held in place thru the flushcup on the LHS of the chassis, and the screw from the RHS in via the thumbrest. All screws supplied in that kit, not the flushcup. I may have drilled another hole in the LHS for the flushcup, can’t remember if that was already there or not.
The RH thumbrest screw fits into the plastic/ brass threaded, captured nut that sits in the keyed skin mount.
Easy!
I absolutely love mine. It was completely worth it. However everyone is different.What are your thought on the thumb rest? I was thinking about getting one for my AX, but having a hard time justifying 50 bucks for a piece of plastic.
That being said, I can completely see where a thumb rest would be nice.
50 bucks on an AI is nothing... I'm sure happy with mine too!What are your thought on the thumb rest? I was thinking about getting one for my AX, but having a hard time justifying 50 bucks for a piece of plastic.

Both my AT and MC have one. Highly recommend it. But I don’t wrap the grip.What are your thought on the thumb rest? I was thinking about getting one for my AX, but having a hard time justifying 50 bucks for a piece of plastic.
