I have a fixed stock AT, If I were to purchase a folding AICS AT can I swap the stocks and turn my AT rifle into a folder? I could then use the fixed stock AICS for another project. Just wondering if there are any issues with doing that.

Explain to me how you’re going to un-bond your AT and make it fit in a Rem 700 inlet....
That was a folder AT, to a folder AX rear. Of course, if you were willing to take a hack saw to your AI chassis, and could purchase a folder mechanism and AX rear...
That's not what I had in mind, I mean swap the buttstocks like guys do with the AX style folder on an AT.
Pretty sure the non-folding AI AT has a solid chassis (no break in the back bone for a hinge mechanism). I could be wrong though...
I thought I saw people that did the AT to AX folder swap selling their AT folders as an upgrade for a fixed stock AT, maybe I need more coffee...
Maybe I do too. ?
Looks like the AX folder upgrade comes with the hinge. So, if your non-folding AT can allow de-bonding the fixed rear stock, then you could theoretically slap an AX rear on it. Or, source an AT folder from one of that guys that upgraded to an AX.

It’s not solid. You can convert non-folders.
And to the OP, I believe the hinge on the AICS would work, but that’s just from looking at it. Not from doing it myself. So take it for what it’s worth...

www.milehighshooting.com I Installed an AX but stock on my AT. A non folding stock AT can be converted to a folding butt stock AT. I don't know if a AICS but stock will work on an AT. Here is the thread for the conversion.

AI AT fixed to AX folder. Conversion Instructions and pictures
So I was bored and sitting at home looking at my fixed chassis AT and then the AX stock conversions online and decided to pull some things apart and document it TLDR: It bolts right on. So I ordered an AX stock up. I knew these stocks were marketed as "for folding AT only" originally (I read...

@blindspotter yes, you can de-bond the two buttstocks and swap them. The rear tang interface on the chassis will be the same for AT/AX/AICS rifles and R700 chassis.
Skins off, propane torch, remove buttstock, clean, re-bond with Devcon #52345.

Thanks everyone, I knew the answer was out there. Just bought the chassis and can't wait to get this done!
