Badger Action in AX Chassis?

[lencomatt]

Anybody know if it will fit? I know it would have to be machined but has anybody tried it yet?

My understanding Joe is they've said they won't.

I guess BJ has special sauce that Badger loves.

SAC has a Badger in a 2.0, so why not the AX?

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

Hmmmm..... Think I really like the way that looks. Maybe next year.

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

Looks like I will be calling Badger this week. Thanks. How does the bolt line up with the relief in the stock?

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

Just when I think I've got my build all figured out, this site gets my wheels turning again.

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

Those pics are not my gun they came from badger where the info came from.

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

That looks really good! I wish I could have found a badger action when I started my build.

 

[Bruiser_Joe]

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

i just got mine and am a BIG fan so far. time will tell but its very much a AIAW without paying 6k, dropped into a W3 chassis or any AI chassis and i think you have a pretty bad ass combo

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

Well I be damned! Nice work, guess I will have to look at this again.

Any comment?

Maybe Something like this could be done?

My M2008 will be sitting in one of these as soon as someone decides to pick up my Manners T4A...

That's the one I found on Mark's site. Someone got a heck of a deal!

 

[lencomatt]

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

I just got word from Badger that the gen1 AX will not fit the M2008 action but the gen2 will.

 

[lencomatt]

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

Does anybody know what the difference is between a gen 1 and 2 AX chassis?

 

[Wheres-Waldo]

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

Had a talk with Marty...

Gen 2 Chassis are able to be inletted, Gen 1 are NOT able.

Gen 1:

Gen 2:

Notice the difference at the rear of the hand-guard

...Also, as seen in the photo's provided by BigJoe, the bolt handle recess between the action and the skins does not line up, this is cosmetic only and can be fixed by purchasing a set of AIAX (not AICS AX) skins.

 

[Wheres-Waldo]

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

Also, for anyone running an AX chassis with any kind of action...

I've been told by Mile High Shooting that the AX will accept AIAW magazines.

There is also an AIAX magazine (looks to be double stacked like the AIAW... not sure what the difference is?)

There is ALSO an AICS AX magazine (looks to be SINGLE stack like the AICS magazines, I'm not sure what the difference is here either?)

I already have enough AIAW mag's to serve my purpose so I'll be using them, but anyone know why the re-redesigned magazines? It's a PITA keeping all this crap straight...

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

Where do get AX skins?

The ax mags have a lip in the front, think AK47ish. The older mags work in newer chassis but newer mags must have the lip folded in to work in the older ones.

Joe, did your Badger come with the letters filled in white?

 

[Bruiser_Joe]

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

Not mine pic is from badger

 

[Wheres-Waldo]

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

Gray,

All their actions come from the factory unfinished, so someone did that to it...

 

[Gray]

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

Thanks Matt, I'm considering a BADGER build now! I would really like to have a .223.

 

[KevinU]

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

BigJoe,

any mods needed to the skin/chassis for the bolt handle?

Thanks

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

Does this go for the 2008LA and LA AX as well?

I like the M2008 as much as the next guy, however the M2008 would make a very large and heavy 223. The bolt travel rearward is very long and its just a big action for the .223 in my opinion.

Thanks for the input Mark, I'm going back and forth on actions for a 223 build. It would have a MTU or straight tube at 20" , so it's going to be heavy either way. Maybe a Alpha 11 w/ LBC Mod would do

I've got a 260 reamer I'm about to send your way for a rifle you're building with a crazy snake flute barrel...

 

[Wheres-Waldo]

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

Can you get Badger M2008's with a .378" boltface?

That would be a BEEFY .223 for damn sure.

 

[Gray]

Re: Badger Action in AX Chassis?

Where's the BEEF?
