Gunsmithing AX AT Barrel installed on an AI AE MK1?

[ACK]

Afte a few thousand rounds downrange the time has come. Are the AX AT barrels compatible with the old AI-AE?
Thanks

I could be wrong but I believe the AT is comparable with AE's and vice verses but the AXMC barrels are not.

Thanks. I found a December posting on Scout. Good to go.

To make things simple: AE's are in a class by themselves, just like the AXMC. No inter-compatibility with any other model. You can however mount AT/AW/AX barrels in an AE from what I've heard.

AT: Short Action, 308 bolt face, bonded AT style chassis, standard AT/AX/AW barrels
AX 308: Short Action, 308 bolt face (same as AT), bonded AX style chassis, standard AT/AX/AW barrels
AXMC: Long Action, 308 or magnum bolt faces, bonded AX style chassis, barrels have larger tenon, not compatible with AT/AX/AW barrels
