I've updated the post with a web link to detailed information on the G22A2. But here it is as well just in case:

Hi guys I just got an accuracy international AT. Im looking for an aftermarket 6gt barrel for it, I want to know who makes best at quick change barrel?
We should ask Germans to send us the AWM skins.View attachment 8506980
There. Bundeswehr G22A2 .300 Win.
UPDATE: Information on the G22A2, best I've found to date.

The G22A2 is an AWM in the AXMC-style chassis.
Did you buy that rifle from Rex? That’s one of the first 5 Accuracy Obsession chassis prototypes I made.
Nah if you use 308 you wake up trans next morningHas anyone tried this ammo out of their AI’s?
Makes more sense for training and positional work spending less than a buck per round.

Took the little lady out on a date and had a mk12's maiden voyage. She loves the clone m118lr and 168fgmm.
Also, got data on 168 gr loads from a 16" barrel for those wondering from before.
Hornady black amax: 2508, 17.8es, 7.3sd
Hornady match eldm: 2517, 34.1es, 15.1sd

Really need to take more esthetically pleasing photos one day.

Why do Germans always have the sickest drip? I mean take the insignias out of the picture (to be politically correct so nobody gets a hard on me this evening), since ww1, you know…View attachment 8506980

Real men win matches with .308
Best I ever did was 3rd overall with a 308....a m40a5 clone no less AND I had a pulmonary embolism right after the awards. So really...I won.
Yea it's pretty weak sauce honestly... Why stop at 40? Why not 100?It's not just PRS. When I shoot AR tactical matches or certain divisions of USPSA I will use 40rd Magpul mags or big stick 2011 mags. It's just a competition. It's not combat.
I haven’t even tried (PRS specifically)
My old man has though. It was a cool moment.
Seen it happen 2-3 times
The production version has a longer forend with a different mounting type for the NV bridge, and a different internal weight.
I don't think they should be restricted....I think people should learn to do mag changes... Why did 12 round stages come about? But I digressAre you sure magazine capacity restrictions is what you want to hitch your wagon to?
Because it helped big pharma…. I mean the big magazine companies to help with sales
Do you think 12 round stages just magically started happening because that's ideal number per stage lol
If the intent of the 15 round stage was to do a mag change and you brought a 17rd mag just to game it I mean I guess which is pretty much what all of prs has said.
I agree why 10... Why even reload at all? Why not just belt feed it? Why not a drum?
I'm not arguing that things can't progress.... You will get a 16+rd aics pattern mags when md start doing 15+ round stages on the reg .... I'm not scorning the mfg they are filling an obvious demand.
Pretty sure I made 0 assumptions or comments as to your abilities home skillet nor did I make any comparisons to my own
I am merely providing free commentary on a sat night to something I find comical about the competitive shooting world. It's not the first time and won't be the last
66.6% of the scopes in this pic finished that match.
Truth.... the Schmidt died and took a year to get fixed
Bad sine wave vibrations from that weight stack man. Now you know
I know shoulda mounted em like the guy to my right did.
+1 to BCC. Just got my new 300PRC barrel that was done with the Alex Wheeler JGS AW2 reamer. I hope I can get it to the range today for zero and some break in.
ETA - 1/8 to handle the Berger 245s and Hornady 250 A-Tips. The stability calculator says I'm good at 1/9 but Fritz had this 1/8 in stock so it made sense and was quicker.

If they want a mag change it should be specified in the stage description
And AI should have 12 and 15 rounders
If you happen across a large pack of guilty animals , it would be nice not to have to change Mags.
You should have been carrying a semi but that is irregardless
Been running matches for 9 or 10 years now. 12rd stages were put in place to force mag changes. Then people got mag extensions and dssf 12rd mags, etc. Now my range every now and then requires mag change when moving positions. If you just bumped the number up you'll have some weirdo like above with a drum mag.
What started pissing me off more was when prs said you can't lose points on a stage and killed the spirit of stages like know your limit or a complicated target package with a negative point for each wrong target shot (still couldn't score less than zero). You took 90% of the mental side of a match right out of it and just made it into target shooting. That and the mandate "every stage has to be cleanable"... what bs... again no thinking "hey maybe I'll just take my time and good hits or I can blow through that position because the final one is more stable OR I could be an idiot and rush everything and suck" (on a stage designed to be too long to finish in time). Again... no thought to a stage anymore.

Guys i need help. Could anyone post a picture of their AWSM side panels of the grip? Inside aswell. I wanted to cut them to fit, while dry fitting i noticed it wont work by cutting the way i have seen it on pictures.
The whole "edge" is still in the way of the goddamn monopod i dont use anyways. Were there different models? Thought only the front panels were different. This sucks big time.

I think they should do stages with an empty mag and you have to single feed. That way I can see 2K pics of guys with weighted quivers running the lengths of their chassis.
That screams “i shoot at pigs at night but low key trying to contact aliens”.
1) That picture looks expensive.
2) If you spend all your money on AI shit, and feel so guilty for stacking bodies at night with a $2K home-built semi... that you take the AI out instead...that's your own fault.
FWIW I'd probably do the same, but my wife won't buy me another AI until at least 2025
. I guess there is a limit to #teamtrophyhusbands
Since they were asked for -- particularly from @xxflyingturtlexx -- I went down a rabbit hole a few weeks ago studying the Accuracy International Bundeswehr G22A2. I had thought it simply a Pale Brown AXMC for years. I was corrected by a friend in France who then sent me down a rabbit hole of studies on the rifle. These are some of the high resolution photos I've been able to collect on my rifle. Photo credits go directly to the Bundeswehr and to DVIDS.
When the contract was started, upgrades to the original G22 was found to be the most economic. They took the upper receiver, barrels, and actions from the G22 which is chambered in .300WM, and essentially mated them to the AXMC chassis, furnishing them into a complete weapon systems package. All G22A2s are marked with the original G22 date codes and still say "SM" on the side of the receivers. They are not quick-changeable barrels, as you note there is no retention bolt on the side of the receiver.
The scope mount used is a 30 MOA EraTac, as the rail system itself is 0MOA. Scope itself is a Steiner M5Xi 5-25x56mm MTC LT LPF with a Tremor3 Reticle.
Note the strap across the top: the Bundeswehr are known for using these profusely to mitigate mirage, just like the old AWs.
And my favorite photo. The original is too high resolution to upload, so this is the smaller version.

I got a bunch of pig blood on my pants and left them in the washing machine for her the other night. It'll be another few days before I'm not "gross" anymore...
I'm a dude, so I've already tried to see if she was receptive 12 or 13 times this morning...
Yeah my bad, I was only going off the first picture and then I realized there was shit shit tons more of ur pics in Feldanzug. I did a rotation with you guys several years back

I’m gone for a week scoping out the rocket engine test stands at Stennis Space Center only to return to find out I really need to be shooting an AI in 308 and have mags with at least 15rds, oh the horror.
B1 & B2 test stands – 350’ tall and as much under as showing – Built in three years for the Apollo program and originally rated for 12 million pounds of thrust (“launching” an engine off a test stand would be a bad day). Still used today for the Artemis program and others, but smaller engines are tested on other stands on the complex. At the baggage counter in New Orleans I ran into a surgeon checking his rifle (28 Nosler) and on his way to Alaska for a Grizzly hunt. Apparently, he’s doing the North American Super Slam. /funfacts off
I was having pressure issues with a 300PRC Mod BB 5R I bought off the exchange (2975fps+ for factory Hornady 225s, primers backing out and the shoulders blowing out to 2.1280 when my other AI barrels are at 2.1240) so, I had Fritz at BCC spin me up a 300PR barrel using the JGS AW2 reamer (relieves a bit at the .200 line so the brass can be full length resized). I took it out yesterday to get a 100yd zero and velocities with factory H225s and Berger 245s and offsets for each and with the TBAC Ultra SR. And I have to say, the Ryobi tire inflater / barrel cooler is one of the better ideas I’ve pirated from the web.
