Hey I saw on instagram the XC they had there didn't have a firing pin in so the guy couldn't test it, while all the other rifles had pins in. Could you get video of the difference for the hide?
The ones I seen didn’t have a firing pin! That’s why they were lighter.At Shot Show and can confirm the XC’s oversized knob is MASSIVE and the bolt lift is significantly lighter.
Overall didn’t feel a whole lot lighter

He must’ve had a few drinks before he made it to the AI booth.Well that pretty much sums up the bolt lift being better
Doesn’t look like the new bolt will swap into the earlier gen AT- X actions. Back of the bolt shroud is a different shape
I’m going to assume it will be like the AXSR bolt. Which is not compatible with the AXMC it replacedI think it’s just scalloped, as long as the firing pin assembly will fit in the bolt body it won’t matter anyway. Assuming the breech ring is the same as current AT actions, which is probably not a safe assumption.

That figures. Heaven forbid existing owners get anything that could be backwards compatible.
I need 31 years. LolI mean... The atx gen 4 v5.7 to aw are ? That's like 30 some years of compatibility
It does have a cant to it if you look at other pictures of it.Anyone else notice that the pic rail on the AT-XC Mil isn’t angling down at 20moa like the scope rail?

My AX sure seems to have a continuously angled 20moa rail all the way to the end of the handguard.
Not like it matters, really. I don’t think. Looks weird. Hmmmm. I don’t own any thermal/NV.

Every AI had firing pins except the “dynamic bolt lift AI”. Did you notice that?
Why would a company advertise a new action with better bolt operation and then make that the only action on the display that doesn’t have a firing pin and can’t be legitimately compared to the ones next to it.Yeah, I guess I’m just a full retard and didn’t even notice there was no firing pin, especially because the rest did now that I think about it. No wonder it was so light.
I’ll try and stop by again and see if it’s changed today and try to get some answers on the legacy AT parts.
Because it won’t be available until 2027Why would a company advertise a new action with better bolt operation and then make that the only action on the display that doesn’t have a firing pin and can’t be legitimately compared to the ones next to it.
Probably told you it’s lighter to huh?
Then zip tied it to the table
Damn!Well...today I applied lessons learned from my purchase of the AXMC some 5 years ago.
Although I still have not decided about the purchase of an LH AXSR to go with my AT and AXMC, I did buy all of the LH AXSR bolt bodies and a spare LH AXSR Shroud/Firing Pin Assy today.
At least I will have everything should I decide to purchase the AXSR.
Are there poors in a dedicated AI thread?Damn!
Guys here trying to scrounge up pennys to buy a barrel
You bought the whole damn shelf for a gun you don’t even own!!
Nice flex on the poors!
With the new AI’s and pricing…..Are there poors in a dedicated AI thread?
Until they come out with a gen2 LH AXSR that uses a new bolt and they discontinue the gen1 rifleWell...today I applied lessons learned from my purchase of the AXMC some 5 years ago.

I can always sell them all if I don't go that route but makes a future purchase much more feasible. I am a practical person after all
Well I bought my AXMC when they announced the AXSR...Until they come out with a gen2 LH AXSR that uses a new bolt and they discontinue the gen1 rifle
LOLYes. We have our own special club if you care to join
you went from "never" to "i did buy" pretty fast lol. I get it though. The AXSR is irresistible. Especially in Elite Sand. The only improvement I could see would be eliminating the safety completely (bolt guns don't need safeties) and bonding the action. Oh, and space for both hex keys in the cheekpiece. And it should come with the TBAC SR brake instead of the CB one.Well...today I applied lessons learned from my purchase of the AXMC some 5 years ago.

…or the 308 axsr mags depending on whether you're really shooting 308 because you want to, or just practicing for a real cartridge.
Lol, shots fired.

(I personally like key slot, the axsr trigger, the grip, etc). ....And actually it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they made an AXMC style mag spacer so you had the option of running 308 AICS or AW mags or the 308 axsr mags depending on whether you're really shooting 308 because you want to, or just practicing for a real cartridge.
Curious why you bought all 3 though. I mean, why not buy 2, as the 3rd will come with the rifle? now you'll have 4 bolt bodies
I'm going to be an enabler here... I think you'd be really happy with the Axsr.LOL
I believe I said, "never unless all options were available at the time of purchase." All options were available today so my statement is consistent.
I am on the fence but I figured that this was a no-lose scenario. I will always be able to sell the parts to some poor sole like me when the AXSR is replaced and a southpaw is looking for parts or earlier if the LH parts dry up.
I don't think I would buy the rifle without trying one but who knows
I think so because all I hear areI wanted to buy an AXSA (in addition to the MC I already have) but instead I think I'm going to buy a Porsche.
How's that for flexing on the poors? Am I doing it right?

Bro I snagged my AXSR without trying, seeing, or even being in the same room with it. Purchased the bolt bodies, firing pins, and some barrels before ever getting it (buying when they came available) and then got home and decided…this is it. Let’s give MH a call.I don't think I would buy the rifle without trying one but who knows
So discount adult romance novels and unpaid credova bills?This thread feels like knights armament owners fb page
Yep. Full of estrogenSo discount adult romance novels and unpaid credova bills?
can you elaborate on why you think bonded is better (specific to short actions).It’s really interesting to me that the new short action uses 6 action screws.
So it went from 4 screws and bonded (best IMO)
To 4 screws and unbonded is fine
To 6 screws and unbonded
