AI Adjustable Butt plate

[Andy T]

I am thinking of getting one for my rifle(s) and have a few questions:
1. Does the same plate work with both AICS and an actual AI AE MK II chassis?
2. What is the shortest LOP I can get with it compared to only the rubber pad on AICS?
3. Does the buttplate allow me to move the butt up in addition to canting it?

Thanks!

1. I would think the plate is interchangeable between both the AI chassis systems and the AI rifles.

2. There is another metal plate that allows the rubber pad to rotate/ move up/ down. This plate is roughly half an inch deep and will bolt onto the plate or spacers to which you have your rubber pad installed on currently. So in short it would add a minimum of half an inch to your LOP as compared to your current LOP.

3. It allows up, down, and rotational cant of the butt pad.

Hope this helps.

For what it's worth, Surgeon Rifles also makes an adjustable butt plate for the AI. I have one on an AICS and really like it. However, it's only adjustable up/down but locks up very solid due to the crossbolt and dovetail slot they use.

You might also be eyeing what I am contemplating at the moment - http://www.eurooptic.com/accuracy-international-aw-quick-adjust-butt-pad-rifle-option.aspx - way overpriced for what it does, but it still beats buying a new rifle for a girlfriend wanting to shoot the same rifle that you do.
