So far the AT is the wife of guns. She’s a bit heavier set but there for you on your worst days. She reliable and devoted to you entirely and you hold those vows deep in your heart and you never let her go
Meh ATX is the perfect wife. Does everything for you and looks good doing it The world is full of props. Fences, mirrors , equipment railings/roofs , tripods , hoods , windowsills , etc
Who's running anything but an ai?
Here I was having fun just lurking around. Now I’m having to ‘contribute’ againlol
1.35” for 5”. Then taper to 1.25” at the muzzle.
Need more weight to manage recoil? Hit the gym. And then add some weights… to the rifle
Paging @Nik H
Is that the standard or comp trigger? Remind me - the standard trigger group, is it trigger group compatible with the AXSR?
Just 4 rifles left? Damn, they are going fast!Better hurry as there’s only 4 left
Haha, yes thats just me... lots of AI spares.
I want a sticker!!One $85 dollar sticker included with Bolt purchase.
First of all, nice to see it’s still ES. Secondly, congratulations on the win! And thirdly, since you are Mr. 308, what were you using for this comp?
I was shooting it in .223…
13.6 sounds so hot rnI was shooting it in .223…
…that identifies as a 225gr 300PRC going 2900
But I’ll be back to my regularly scheduled 308 175gr shenanigans in September. Then it’s open class from here on out. The 308 will get cut down (along with the rail lol) to like 13.6” and live out as a fun shorty suppressed 308.

I think it would be fun. Just wanting the shortest I can go with an SFMB on the end. Then I’ll cut back the rail 1/4” from the back of the can and call it good. Should be a fun setup.
Any particular reason why factory? Number if different companies can spit one out for you in that or very similar contour very quickly.
I wish I had logic as to why factory, but I don’t.
I have.
Manzella makes awesome barrels and has history with AI. Basically a factory barrel but more accurate.
On a prefit barrel like AI where they’re using blanks produced here and chambering them here (still WinTac?) there’s no reason to go factory on a short action barrel. If you wanted an English proofed barrel that’s a different story, but that’s not what AINA is selling.
Who has other rifles???
I mean I have the three complete assemblies and one complete (spare) 308 bolt for my AXSR. Same reason I carry a spare trigger and three 308 mags (two match use and one spare).
If I’m at a match, I want to have a spare should something happen so I’m not out a match fee, ammo, travel, time away from family, etc.
I see no issue with carrying spare high use/critical parts.
I've always placed a special order for whatever I wanted. Call EO, give them your specs for the barrel you want (assuming it is a regular factory option), pay the deposit, and the first one they get is yours.
I used duct tape and painted directly with krylon... good result .. This one
I decided to ask a respected peer with military service experience with the AW, asking what he thought of the need for spare parts: "Nope, and my AI AW has about 35,000 rounds on it."
Awesome photos
There was an early Everyday Sniper episode with Frank Galli, Jacob Bynum, and George Gardner. Jacob Bynum had a .308 loner rifle that had well over the amount of rounds in which the barrel should have been pulled. I want to say the barrel had like 20-30k on it. Jacob was sending it back to George at GAP for some other work. Jacob told George, whatever you do, DO NOT pull the barrel, it is still a laser and shoots sub 1/2”. George pulled the barrel and the first 1” of the lands was missing. So it is possible.
So others don’t run out and buy duct tape, that tape is called gaff or gaffer tape, not duct tape. Sometimes I’ve heard it called grip tape. I think actual permanent-ish duct tape would be a nightmare to remove.
What brand tape you go with? My Google fu isn't turning up much I trust except maybe a Amazon buy.
You know, it just occurred to me to note that this a joke lol
