You changed your “tuning fork” so to speak. Caused stress to the action that initially wasn’t there. No different that removing a stock on a non bedded factory rifle like a savage or rem 700 which can change not only POI but accuracy as well

I blue loctited my action screws on my ATX when I had it. One screw was loose of the 4 that hold the action to the upper portion of the chassis. There was a few people who had action screws loosening up. I think the ATXC has 5 screws like the AXSR. My ATX had 4 and the chassis was very thin where it mounted together on the action

There is some play in that area. I actually wanted to bond mine but was talked out of it by a very well known guy on here due to the fact the chassis just wasn’t thick enough to bond in that area and could cause issues if you put the spacers in there. He suggested the blue loctite as a fix.

The ATX I think only torqued to 35 inch lbs (may be wrong) but that isn’t much. Not sure what your AXSR is but I think it’s a lot more if memory serves me right

After seeing the design and screws able to loosen up I went back to another AT rifle as I wanted the bonded action. The AXMC is bonded as well and won’t come loose either.

Not saying the AXSR will come loose. But if you broke the rifle down when new and torqued everything right away you likely make it more repeatable in the future when you break down and retorque it.

I will always be an AI luddite.

GF reached out to the Tbac guys and got me this sweet AI patch. Technically its an AX50 with their new can, but if I squint it looks pretty close to my AXSR with SiCo/Recoil-X.

Unfortunately, this does not mean they're getting to my prize table cert Magnus RR order any faster.

I run the full size Magnus RR on one of my Dashers....It is comically quiet and a nice push of recoil.

I run a full-size Magnus standard end cap currently on my 6gt customs. It is very popular at matchs because its stupid quiet. Recoil is pretty nice when you're running a rig at 25lbs.

I was on the TBAC squad at Coal Canyon this year and got some experience with the Magnus K-RR. I was very impressed and have one on order.

Thought about putting blue loctite when I was torque it down. I guess I should do it next time around and zero again. Now more I appreciate my AX as it’s bonded. And more I envy the MC’s.. Because that #2 screw is also a bitch.

you will like it. S RR is my favorite but K works great on 6.5cm, 6.5prc. I enjoy mine all 3 sizes

Dont listen to @hafejd30 he is horrible with tools, and tricking you in. Small oversight happens. @hk dude has your explanation.

Didn’t you have an AXSR that had a loose action screw and you noticed it when the barrel seemed tilted in the chassis? At like 800 rounds?

I know it’s been mentioned before about loose action screws. I’d hope on a $12,000 rifle they’re torquing the chassis from AI. Otherwise the only explanation is they’re loosening with use. It happens. Other chassis systems like MPA and MDT have had issues as well

I also don’t feel I’m horrible with tools. I’m super anal about my stuff and I’m just speaking from experience and observations from mine and others who have owned several AI platforms.

I know especially with what it takes to access the bolts for the action on the ATX platform at least I wouldn’t want to or be able to check those bolts regularly. You need to remove the bottom half the chassis to do this

Guy rounded #2 in this thread

AXSR Action screws

Hello All, How are you torquing the #2 action screw? It looks to me that you'd have to use a ball end bit but, wouldn't that make the torque required to meet the spec higher? Saying it another way, do ball end hex bits apply the same force to the screw for a given torque setting on the wrench...

Don't know if that came out as intended.
