AI AW Single Feed Magazine

[Awag1000]

I have been running AW magazines for a few years with my CDG in a Xylo chassis. I find myself trying to single feed rounds instead of using the magazine.
I went out of my way to 3D scan an AI AW mag and reverse engineered the geometry to print myself a single feed magazine out of PA6-GF30 Nylon. Since I don't know of any company that makes one, I might as well make one myself. I there any need for these other than my own?
thanks for viewing. - Austin

I was planning to model it as well but I realized the AW magazine is already good enough to be used as the single feed platform on a AT-X action therefore I gave up the idea.

I printed a simple file from Thingiverse that sits in the mag allowing for pretty slick single shot loading.

Not as cheap as a 3D print, but these work very well in my CDG as well as my AIs and AW cut TL3.

They also make an AICS version that works very nicely.

Not inexpensive but I have their sled for ACIS "chassis system" and its a very nicely machined piece of aluminum. I like it alot.

They make one that says "Fits Accuracy International AT-X, AX, AT and AW short action rifles" (bold added by me).

I don't know much about AI rifles but I assume that if this sled fits AI AW rifles that its compatible with any rifle that likes AW magazines. I would ask specifically is I was interested in it (and I found the owner...Pete...to be very responsive).

And here is a thread from 2019 from a guy who bought a sled from CNC Werks and is also very complimentary.

I’ve always used my AW mags as is and single feed rounds no problem as needed. Since 2012.

A sled is more glamorous though.

Ultimately I like the idea of the bolt stop on the magazines, but I also like to single feed. The idea of a sled is nice too. I think i just needed an excuse to use my 3D scanner.
