This makes sense unless you want to shoot something like 6BR…. AXSR won’t do that. I know this because I have an AXSR, but had to buy a second gun to shoot the gamer calibers I wanted to shoot
I had the same vortex viper pst. One thing I liked about it is the weight
Mine has a folder but I do have to fold to remove the bolt. Hits the cheek piece
No. The cheek piece can't be pushed far enough back to clear - it's either got to come out, or do the folder. Do the folder. It's worth it.
This. Folder and thumbhole buttstock conversion plus the Anarchy thumb rest is the king
I'm kind of been lusting for an AT with the thumbhole skins for the artic warfare look but with quick change barrels.

I get the sads everytime I see these pics and remember I sold my AT.
The US models are Bartlein on factory guns. Can get Bartlein and proof from mile high. Or have one spun up by several smiths. I have Manzella making a 260 barrel for my ATX right now
So which guns are considered US models? I thought everything was from the UK. Are you saying that just the rifles sold for the US market are bartlein barrels with everything else being from the UK?
I get the sads everytime I see these pics and remember I sold my AT.
I remember reading the UK models for the most part get LW barrels. The models shipped here are shipped without barrels. Wintac spins up the barrels for the rifles here. Out of Bartlein blanks. That may have changed but that’s what I recall
I had thought it was a LW barrel for the advertised for say a AT in 20, 24 and 26" 308 barrels. Anything outside that was a bartlein/etc. If I remember right all of the factory 308 barrels I've had were LW.
My AT308 20” bought new came with an LW barrel.
I think there's a lot more US manufacturing going on for the US models. It's probably easier to manage import regulations that way. Chassis machined at Wintac, triggers supplied from XSTP, blanks machined at Wintac. Actions from England and maybe some other small parts. Then assembled by either Wintac or AINA. For all other countries I think most everything comes from England with LW blanks and I'd guess XSTP triggers in the AT-X.
Supports what I had understood
Here’s where I got that info. May be just the ATX in 6.5 now that I looked again. Came across it looking at options for my ATX

My bad
Accuracy International AT-X
Does anyone have any idea what time frame we are looking at for chassis? Wish they would have gotten this out before I bought my AX last year.
I tagged the guys who would know and maybe they’d share that info but I don’t know
I'm not sure my curiosity can wait for them to get out of SHOTI tagged the guys who would know and maybe they’d share that info but I don’t know
Wait for a reply before you strip your rifle
I’m sure I’m incorrect in my statement. I do have both LW and Bartlein and always have been impressed with both.I'm not sure my curiosity can wait for them to get out of SHOT
My wife's sewing machine was almost $10K and that is one of them
Technically, putting my impact in an AT-X chassis should add to my AI credit score. Out of all the different stocks and chassis available, I remained loyal to AIView attachment 8326376
Excuse me ma’am, but 6.5CM is a gamer caliber and it runs just fine.

Haha ok ok, we’ll let that slide. But this offense has been noted and will count against your AI Thread Credit Score.
AI is sourcing very few barrels from L-W the past three years. Following BREXIT, AI set up a barrel operation in one its facilities in Portsmouth, UK to make cut rifle barrels. Most of the AI rifles sold in the US have blanks sourced from Bartlein and finished at WIN Tactical in Orchard Park, NY. Only the classic AT rifles and LE 308 rifles have UK produced barrels. These are identifiable by the UK proof marks. For a couple of years we sourced 6.5 and 6mm blanks from Hawk Hill Customs, but that operation was sold and it has moved to Oklahoma.
So with that, Pre 3 years ago it wouldnt be uncommon to find LW UK proof marked 308 barrels in the AX/AT/LE line as well as some Bartlein and potentially HH?
Yes. The UK proof marks would the identifying feature. US barrels will have a S/N starting with "W".
Mountic is selling an action with a magnum bolt face for 2200ish. He is probably looking to make a short action AXSR. Which would be awesome, IMO. I've been thinking about the same thing. Buy the action. Add a trigger and chassis. Just need to make sure this is possible (within reason) before starting the project
The bulk of the guns built/assembled here in the States get our sticks. Guns fully finished and shipped coming over from the UK have UK made barrels etc...
How does one get in contact with GCP? Their website’s contact form is missing, and a message to the gmail address they have listed on their site just bounced back.
After owning both AX and AT I agree with where you ended up. AT is excellent. Oddly enough we have very similar barrels lol.
