    Does anyone know for 100% if you bought a AIAW 338LM, can you get a 300wm bolt and barrel seperate to screw on yourself?

    Re: AI AW Magnum Question

    It should be noted that if you're looking to get a new AI AWSM, you should do so immediately, as they've been phased out for the new AI AX rifles, and can no longer be ordered from the factory-what's out there is all that's going to be out there.

    At the moment we have two AI AWSM .338 LM rifles available, but once they're gone that's it.

    The AX .338s are beginning to show up however, and I think you'll begin seeing more information on them shortly...

    Thanks Jasonk.

    SRT-
    Will I still be able to order say a AW compatible .300wm bolt in a few months after I bought a 338?
     
    Re: AI AW Magnum Question

    I have an extra bolt and barrel for 300wm for a AWSM I may be willing to let go. PM me if interested

    Yes, you'd order it directly through AINA (along with barrels and change kits).

My AX bolt is interchangeable with my AW bolt. Both close on a go gauge and don't close on a no-go on the opposite rifles.

    That is so slick. Love it!
     
    Re: AI AW Magnum Question

    They are not in the AX magnum caliber rifles. The new magnum bolt is bigger around.

    1+. The bolt is thicker. There is a thicker rim around the case head when you put the current AIAWSM bolt face next to that of the AX bolt face.

    Hi Bmorgan
    Please may I enquire as to the gun number engraved on your 300wm bolt assembly.

    Magnum.... AX will do just fine.

    Re: AI AW Magnum Question

    I would like to clarify the situation regarding AW and AX
    We have replaced the AW50 with the AX50 and no longer make the AW50.
    We will replace the AW338 with the AX338 but we are still making both models. The AX338 is completely redesigned and an improvement over the AW338 but if someone wants an AW338 we can still supply them
    We do not have an AX300 but will do. We still supply AW300.
    We are still suopplying AW308 and there are no plans to stop at this time
    We are supplying AX308
    We still supply AICS and will do. We will soon supply AICS AX.
    I hope that makes everything clear.

    Tom
    For those with the AIAWSM, can we still order parts say 5 years from now if needed? Eventually, an AX is in oder. However, with my AIAW and AIAWSM are fairly new, it's difficult to justify the price for an AX. Just don't want to be left out say 5 years from now. Thank you.
     
    Re: AI AW Magnum Question

    Tom, good to see you posting here again. Thanks for the first-hand info!
     
    Re: AI AW Magnum Question

    You all still be able to get parts for aw338 5 years from now. We have nearly 4,000 in service and will support them
    On pricing for AX if you compare the same options on an AW and include night vision bracket and side rails then the AX is slightly less expensive. New prices will be available next week so check then

    The problem I see with the AX is what if you don't want all that stuff? Always been the thing I liked best about the AWs....

A little bit from now, you can get them in all different configs (like the AW,) at least from what I've been told.

    My AX owners manual agrees as well. It shows fixed stocks, spacer buttplates, screw in cheek piece, etc.

    If the MCR is the true switch barrel setup...Stacy said they had absolutely no plans to sell to the civvie market

    Re: AI AW Magnum Question

    We will decide on MCR when we get all the feedback from current contract. No decision has been made regarding the sa le of mcr to civilians and i see no reason why we would make such a decision.
    Given other projects it is unlikely to be available this year. We need to get full production on all new models and some outstanding projects beforeb we embark on production mcr

    Re: AI AW Magnum Question

    I'm expecting close to 9.5k on the 338 which absurd with all the options out there today.

    Tom the "other projects" at SHOT look absolutely badass! Can't wait to see the long action AE come to market. Just hope I have the cash when it does.
