Not really worthy of pics but put my new 260 barrel and Sams thumb rest on my new AXMC.
Any of you axmc axsa guys know if the handguards are interchangable? @AIAW
Great... Lol how can I tell if my axmc is post14 I got mine used?

Does anyone know the shortest LOP on an AX with the buttpad in place?
Tried to get the info from AINA, but they can only tell me it's 2.5" from the back end of the rear frame without spacers.
How does this translate to standard LOP?
Didn’t the pre-14 handguards have like ten mounting screws, and the post-14’s only had two? I know that’s true for the chassis, and I was thinking it was the same for the rifles.

So many variables, share your loading process. Specifically how you adjust headspace, case length, neck tension. How many firings on the brass?So maybe some of you guys could help me. I worked up a nice load for my new 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. 41.7 grains of H4350 in Peterson small primer pocket brass, with federal gold medal match primers, and pushing a 130gr Berger AR hybrid at 2800 FPS. I worked up to 42 grains with no pressure signs but my best groups were with the 41.7 grain load. Shot my rifle again two weekends ago with the same load, and everything is fine. Last weekend I shot 12 rounds to get some quick PRS practice in and I noticed EVERY round had cratered (7) or pierced (5) primers. I also noticed the very center of my firing pin is caved in, like someone took a super fine drill bit and counter sunk a hole in it. It’s the 1.6mm firing pin. Any advice? Maybe drop down in charge weight? Is my firing pin permanently damaged and should be replaced? Or should I be ok? Known AI issue? I’m a little baffled considering I’ve loaded a solid 500 rounds of 308 with no issues and almost 200 of 6.5.
This is the second firing on the brass. I use a hornady headspace gauge for my brass. Case lengths all measure 1.912 through 1.914. I'm not sure about neck tension because I don't have the tools to measure nor adjust the tension. I full length size each piece of brass.
Will a Spur 4006 with a S&B PMII 5x25 clear the rail on a AIAX 308? If yes how much room under the objective?
How do you back out the firing pin?! I’ve read about this but no one’s said how it’s done.
6.5 barrel and full 308 rifle are from EuroOptic. I’m going to put a box of Hornady 6.5 through it tomorrow and see what it does.

Yes there was a real light mist in the air that day.

You post make me want to stop shooting my SRP 6.5cm Lapua brass out of my LFP AX. It def craters CCI 450 primers but I’ve never had it pierce. Anyone wanna trade some LRP Peterson for some Lapua? LolBacked my FP out. No more pierced primers. Still dimples a little but I can live with it until I get a new load worked up. Going to try large rifle primers for the 6.5.
I’ll take craters that can barely be seen. But pierced is crazy. What’s even crazier is AI had the foresight to have an adjustable firing pin.
Yea mine is already on the shorter side of spec so I didn’t mess with it. I am waiting to see what chamber formed firings looks like hoping they get milder. I’m only running 41.5g H4350 with absolutely no other pressure signs so I havnt really been tooo worried about it but still has been in my mind lol.I’ll take craters that can barely be seen.

That’s exactly what I’m using now. 140 eldI’m about to try some 140’s from Hornady this weekend, I’ll load them to a much more reasonable load as opposed to 41.7gr
