This just in:

Responding to recent events on Earth, God, the omnipotent creator-deity worshipped by billions and billions of followers of various faiths for many millennia, angrily clarified His longtime stance on color of rifles.

“Look, I don’t know, maybe I haven’t made myself completely clear, so for the record, here it is again,” said the Lord, His divine face betraying more than a little emotion during a press conference near the site of @Krob95 ’s new ATX.

“Somehow, people keep coming up with the idea that I want them to paint their rifles other colors than Sage Green. Well, I don’t. And to be honest, I’m really getting sick and tired of it. Get it straight. Not only do I not want anybody to paint their rifle some weak-sauce color named Elite Sand or the abominable ‘Black’ Multicam, but I am specifically commanding you to only use the color of the lush and verdant Earth that I your Lord God created for you.”

“That is all.”

Sage Green will always be the AI master race. The competition is always fighting for 2nd place

 

[Krob95]

Looks better on that than it did on your savage

Beautiful rifle. Love the multi cam

Thanks man! I'm excited to get it out to the range and get some rounds down the barrel

Quoting this for posterity, and because you really have a way with words. Starting to make me think maybe I'll need a sage green MC one day

Thanks man! It ain't no elite sand but I like it a lot. Very subtle and extremely well done.

Ps, you should do it

 

[Krob95]

That is gorgeous who did the pain job?

I found out the guy that did the cerakote. His name is Sean, his shop is Sovereign Arms in Denver. It's who Fritz uses for anything that needs cerakote, including my ATX.

Yessir, this is a dasher. Hopefully I have the same luck feeding as I did with the BRA

I’ve thought a bunch about that shortbus guy painting a rifle of mine flecktarn (now that’s a master race thing, like, an actual master race thing) or that cool M40 sniper pattern or maybe a winter mcmillian molded-in look.

And then God Almighty, Our Lord and Heavenly Father, whispers sage advice to me in the crystalline silence of the night and Green the AI stays.

Maybe the W3 Rem…

 

[TheBigCountry]

All this talk of fancy cerakote and paint jobs on your AIs. Sheesh. Ain’t no one ever heard of Krylon?

Bunch of boojie croc wearin fellas I swear.

Thumbhole Elite Sand

Superb job by Mark at FMJ Firearms in the UK.

New Scope arrives tomorrow. Don't judge me but its a second hand Vortex Razor HD Gen 2... I was looking at Nightforce ATCARs but I just can't stretch that far and justifying it to the wife was difficult enough as it is.

No I see the photo. Looks like the pale brown to me

Yeah the camera has just washed out the colour I think. The Pale Brown bag probably doesn't help either.

Demand to high?

Does this make my AXSR in Elite Sand more valuable?

To many were being chambered in 6.5 CM. AI realized tampon sales were getting out of control with the Elite sand/6.5 combo and eventually gave in to the downfall.

They went back to green AI’s chambered in 308 after purchasing more stock in beer and beef jerky sales which were sure to skyrocket after the transition

It’s what concrete working, bow hunting, bench pressing animals around the world demanded

If you pass an elite sand owner speak softly. If they own the 6.5 they’re likely to retreat to their “safe place”. Best to just let them be as they need to be alone with their thoughts

Colour still looks washed out in the picture.

Only those that have to justify themselves to others, are afraid to own a 6.5.
18.5" .308 with TBAC 338 Ultra SR for your time.

The best AI is a .260 AI...

Thumbhole is the lords AI. You made the right choice and when judgment day comes you'll be seated at his right hand.

Either way, thumbhole AI is

So a thumbhole 260 Arctic Warfare in multicam is undesirable and should be hidden away for no one to ever shoot or see?

 

[BuLLet]

Send it my way.... I'm good at hiding things.

I just got my new ATX in today. The bolt is quite surprisingly hard to close on an empty chamber. With the safety in the middle position it closes like butter. But with the safety forward it is hard enough to close that I think there is something wrong with the bolt. I took the shroud off and everything seems lubed well. I added some grease but it’s still extremely hard to close. Is this normal? Any ideas? I’ll call milehigh Monday anyways.
Thank you.

Ain't shit wrong with it. Just run it hard and fast. It'll break in. Oil the contact points between the bolt and receiver.

[FUNCTIONAL]

As soon as the words "arctic warfare" and "thumbhole" are involved with the AI it automatically wins everything. However if "Vortex" is attached to either of those it negates one of the other, questionable and opens the user to psychiatric evaluation.


This is actually my favorite AI....I think I stole this from someone here when I was trying to get ideas for my AT.

 

[Krob95]

Man you need a black TT......

No sir, keeping the coyote TT forever lol

 

[MOUNTIC]

Why did AI drop the Elite Sand?

Demand to high?

Does this make my AXSR in Elite Sand more valuable?

Too difficult to match parts and keep cerakote consistent in batches. I know I've had at least 5 different variations of Elite Sand. Here is one of the most notable.. green barrel on left is original ES from 19-20 guns. Barrel on right is from 22 guns. And a whole lot of in between. Thread protectors on the Black barrels are also ES.

Demand is there. Just too many issues with Cerakote and parts.

Yes, this means your rifle just went up 3x in value. Maybe more..

Anyone send their bolt to LRI for bushing?
