Are there any reasons to avoid buying an AI AE right now? MkIII or something coming along shortly? AIAX going to get priced lower or a AE version of the AIAX coming soon? Buy a TRG 260 instead?

They are already out overseas. Essentially the MKII with the 3 position safety and shroud of the AW.

Highly unlikely. They haven't even gotten the AX chassis system out yet.

If you are asking this you probably need to shoot both of them because they feel completely different. One will likely feel good and the other not so much. I PERSONALLY like the TRG. YMMV.

Can anyone else confirm the AE MK III??? The only hesitation I have buying an AE MKII is I do not like the 2 position safety as it does not lock the bolt.

Oponions?? Spence

I have a MkII on the way and asked Stacy some of these questions as well. The word is that the MkII will be upgradable to the MkIII configuration at some point in the future, at an as yet undetermined price point. The MkIIIs will not be available in the US in the near future.
