You can run 1.35 straight in the older MC handguard. The AXSR and MCLE have the new handguard which has small ridges inside and can’t run a 1.35 straight. I forget the exact number but I turned mine down a bit, I think it was like 1.28 or something
Inside the axsr. Those must be the ribs you are talking about. I just pulled the 6.5cm barrel so had the chassis handy. I had no idea they would limit the oal length since the shoulder has to slide down the handguard. Chalking it up to leaning something new.
Outstanding, gentlemen. Thank you very much!
Yep, those are the ridges. When I sold my MC and got the LE, I dropped the barrel in and thought it was good. Couldn’t hit a full ipsc at 1 k for anything. Went back to 100 and shot a group and it was trash. The barrel when fired, just touched enough to fuckup accuracy. Turned the barrel down a bit and it went back to amazing precision
Like @hic28 said.
I would taper it like a Heavy Varmint.
Have it at 1.350” at the shank for about 5” then start tapering it to 1.250” at the muzzle.
Barrel will still weigh over 10lbs
That’s perfect, I prefer them a little thicc.Like @hic28 said.

First day out for the new year. My AXSA Elite Sand with the 308 barrel. Some hard drive disposal @ 200 yards...
ES still the best, even with @Krob95 going to the other side!

All put together. Including the Ultra 7 in 6.5, absolutely love that can.
Anyone know where I can get longer screws for the butt-spacers? It came with extra spacers but not with screws long enough to make use of them. I got long-ass arms and need one or two more spacers.
I gotta get better at talking pictures, my photo skills are not cutting it for this thread

Ace hardware
Sweet, have one here. Anyone know the thread pitch etc? Are they just M4 metric screws?
They have a thing at ace hardware to check the thread pitch...... And yes nothing fancy
Perfect! Thanks!
Ouchy.... That's got to sux!!
Heat is your friend, but it's hard not to believe that voice in your head saying "we almost got this!"

You probably read through this a few pages back.
Accuracy International Picture Thread
Some single shot AI Target Actions, machined for a Magwell. AI Coopermatch rifles are dirt cheap in the UK, nobody wants them. Cerakoted Highland Green, ready for an L96 clone in 6.5CM with barrel threaded for a ASE SL5i. The Coopermatch actions will wear L96 chassis, skins and barrels. There...
www.snipershide.com Personally, I'm going max 1.2 or less at the end of the rail. My 33xc barrel is 1.23 and just not very much room left.
Hammer a torx bit in it
I'm about to make this swap too. Any tricks to avoid stripping the screws? Soldering iron to heat up the thread locker?
Well, I heated up with heat gun but it was still stripped. The screw head is just too soft. End it up with @Brym427 method. Tapped a bigger bits into the stripped head.
Tap the correct size bit in to make sure its fully seated. If its not you'll definitely strip it
Anybody make pre-cut foam for an AXMC in a Pelican 1720? It just barely fits.
I'm terrible at cutting my own
I know it's not oriented properly because it's "scope down" in that pic, but I had to do it that way due to the folder.

Scope down won’t effect anything. If your worried relieve the area where the scope is a bit so the impact and constant pressure is on the forend and Buttstock if it takes a hit. Just don’t have the scope or turret against the plastic on the bottom. I mean shit they pound nails in with those NF scopes. They can handle riding upside down. Mine rides on its side like shown here. Only carried uprightAnybody make pre-cut foam for an AXMC in a Pelican 1720? It just barely fits.

Was the debonding process a pain? I'll be excited to see that finished!
Why I left my rail alone.
I’d heat them up with the tip of a soldering iron or something. Then find a bit just a little bigger and hammer it down in the hole.

It wasn't to bad. I used a heat gun and went slow. Heated up the action screws first and got those out. Make sure you have proper fitting bits. They're in there good and if you use the wrong bit it's easy to strip. I then heated up the seam between the action and bottom. I then tapped a piece of wood between the barrel and piece that the hand guard attaches to and it popped right off.
Cover worked great
Bolt gummed up a little and got hard to push forward for a few stages.
Pistol shooting went better than I figured. Since I hadn’t shot pistol for a lot of years
Rifle went worse but last comp was Peterson and 2 days of practice isn’t much lol. Cleaned stages at Peterson. Not so much here. The rifle was carrying me through lol it just about shoots itself

Top rail and bridge makes the ATX looks 100x better.
Totally agree
I agree with @Aaros143, I thought it was going to be way worse, not too bad at all though. One thing I'd recommend (and I think Sam touches on this in his videos), once you've got that epoxy mixed up, I wouldn't waste a lot of time admiring your work on the action... Still gotta get that stock bonded before the epoxy gets too stiff... When I did mine, epoxy was certainly harder to work with at the end of the job than it was at the beginning.
Nothing to be afraid of though... Just a small rite of passage, the cost of owning the sickest setup on the market.
This post had me thinking…Is the 13’ AX 338 the same as the ‘14 AXMC aside from the buttstock? Can it take AXMC bolts and everything?
I have no clue to be honest, I'm still trying to learn all the differences just in the short actions
13 ax338 has a different action than the MC, so I suppose the bolt is not interchangeable.
I didn’t know Elite Iron made a spigot Mount. I was only aware of the BT/Atlas. I will check it out. Thanks!
Yes that one has a bolt to tighten to remove all slop. Works great
Easier install , cheaper and pic version has a lower bore height

I'm not a huge fan of any wobble/slop up front and I have arbor presses and a full machine shop for any installation needs that arise. They're all within $20 of eachother.
Anarchy... @samb300 designed it & he don't fuck around. I'm sure the others are fine as well, but his stuff is legit... Gotta support the local dude.
I ran the anarchy one that @samb300 designed before I went to his chassis. And it’s rock solid. Don’t have experience with the others.
