AI AX50 ELR Conversion Kits

[zinny]

Any body know anything about these and possible release dates?

Alternatively, would it be possible get to custom made bolt heads and barrel cut for smaller calibers (408,375, etc) CONUS?

 

[just browsing]

3 things in life are certain: death, taxes, and AI release dates being completely and utterly worthless.

What ever they said, add minimum of 4 years and a max of never happening.

I recently spoke to Mile High and although they wouldn’t give me a date they did say “very soon.”

 

[zinny]

Spoke to AINA I think a few months ago at this point. Supposedly they got a mil contract for 408 CT conversions in Europe. So thay definetly happening. Eta of course is still unknown at this time.

What barrel diameter does this action use?

 

[zinny]

I think 2", it's larger than the AXMC/AXSR print for sure.

Has anyone heard anything new about when they might come available?

Don’t toy with my emotions

the tenon is M39x2.0
a 1.72" breech diameter is fine, but be aware theres not a lot of clearance in there up by the handguard. You do need a step down to 1.65" at about 2.3"-2.4". So you wont be able to use a 1.70+ heavy varmint type contour barrel

Thank you so much for that info! I ordered a 1.7”X4” straight taper to 1.5” finish. I guess I need to have it contoured down

Wondering if anyone could do a 416 Barrett barrel for one. I havnt heard about AI doing one.

 

[ReturnFire]

Should be fairly simple since it’s utilizing the same BF

I know its a semi old thread, but incase someone was googling like myself figured i would share. Shot AI an email about the ax50 conversions and they said:

"We do not currently have plans to offer .375 calibre conversion kits due to other higher priorities in development."

before i purchased q4 2022 they said q1 of 2023 was the goal. Hoping they dont bail on the 408 too.

There’s no market for it, or rather they’re not going to develop something to sell a couple of hundred of them. They’re a business.

 

[zinny]

Of they're still doing the 408ct for a contract righr?

Aren't the CTs both the same bolt face?

In which case, grab the bolt from them and have a smith spin up other 375 ct barrel and go, or am I missing something?

 

[ReturnFire]

They have a few large mil contracts that are taking priority. They built 408's for the French military. Sounds like the civilian offerings won't be available until next year sometime. Yes both the 375 and 408 are the same BF.
