I was tracking "AI" factory labeled barrels only came from WinTac. Anyone know if that has changed to include MH? (not a discussion of quality...MH is obviously more than capable of making hammers.)That barrel is from Mile High. If I heard correctly, Adam said they had just completed a run for AI so I grabbed one and had it four days later.
This thread I linked probably has a lot of info in it that would be a good read.
New AI AX with non AI barrel?
Hello All, I went to pick up my AI AX today; I ordered it chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. The AX rifles come to the US without barrels and Win Tactical, a shop owned by AI make the barrels off of Bartlein blanks. These barrels are stamped with the mark AI on the barrel near the action. The rifle I...

Didn't mean to start anything, as I said, I might not have heard Adam correctly.
Yep, I remember that thread. No doubt AIs can have barrels from other manufacturers... not exactly the question I posed. Defender’s barrel is marked AI... meaning it was spun by WinTac. MH uses their own marking.This thread I linked probably has a lot of info in it that would be a good read.

Again, before anyone gets riled up... both MH and WinTac make hammers. Just pointing out it’s not a MH-spun barrel.
Took my 17 year old daughter out to try out the Elite Sand AXSA. Put the ES 308 back on this one and did some 100 yard shooting. Indoor underground range.
Before I adjusted from my 200 yard zero.
Kimmy's group.
They use plywood backer board here and it tears up the paper some.

Ahem....When are you going to respond to my wtb ai at ad?
The AXSR is being painted at the moment, went in to visit the Australian AI distributor today Delta Tactical to suss out the new AICS AXSR chassis, man they are so clean and refined.
They are delivered factory painted by AI, but they also do in house cerakoting.
We got a black AXSR 300WM & 300PRC barrel, it’ll come back with a camouflage pattern.
Sad to the see the AI grip out for a Ergo? I guess it’s nice to have options but I still like the AI feel in my hand. Not sure why it gets a bad review from folks.
Have to admit though, they're damn nice looking rifle.
AT-X 6.5 Creedmore, NF Beast, Thunderbeast, Uncle Scott telling those nephews how it is
Got out and shot a mile with some shooting buddies yesterday.
We were all able to make hits on steel with multiple calibers (6CM, 6.5x47, 6.5CM, 300NM, 338NM) at distances of 1560, 1660 and 1760.
Once dialed in the AXSR in 300NM
Was able to land 9 out of 10 shots
In a respectable size group at 1760.

Just got the GTAC grip mod and installed it with the Ergo grip. It does make it more comfortable and just love the thumb rest. Now my rifle just feels perfect. I know I won’t shoot it any better but it does feel nicer to get behind. Now I like it better than the AXSR due to the 3 stage bolt safety and it has the Ergo grip which I like better than the old AI grip. Hope to get it on the range soon.
Worked on some positional stuff today. 
Today's target pic from the Elite Sand AXSA
If it wasn't for that one that got away from me damn near a 1/4 minute @ 200 yards.

At least this time he included a pic of the rifle! Your post on the other hand... Without SEEING the Elite Sand rifle, I am forced to assume that target was shot with a superior color choice.Just lovin the target pics
Still got me f@$#ed why they put a colour not many will buy on show!!AT-X 6.5 Creedmore, NF Beast, Thunderbeast, Uncle Scott telling those nephews how it is

That red drew shooters from across the course to see the new AT-Xs when AI attended our PRS match. The AIs clearly stood out = marketing genius.
It may not be the primary reason, but U.S. pre-order dealer feedback allows AI to gauge customer color choice so they could produce to those percentages. ETA - I'm speculating on this one, I have no inside knowledge whatsoever.

Ain’t no one want an elite sand Ferrari bro. Also, bright colors show off the lines of the chassis better in photos.
Sage green is the only way to go! (Also I got a chuckle out of the Elite Sand Master Race in your profile
)
I happened to have spent the afternoon at AI Fredericksburg where I had a very nice AXSR in my hands in that superb factory gray color.

You lost me at "had"...
Yeah, there was a guy there you know who pried it out of my hands with some lame excuse he had to go sight it with a 300NM barrel.
I'm old, I never could have out run him with that 24lbs of sheer goodness. Plus he had backup...
ETA - Not mine. Thought that was the gray, it's elite sand.
