Didn't like the FDE, so I changed it up. First time kryloning anything, I'm happy with the results! Was supposed to be multicam, doesn't quite match, but oh well. I'll do it again when this starts to wear.

Re: Krylon'd my AIAX today...

Is that an AI scope mount? If so, did you have to mod it for the Henny? They are pretty short tubed.
These AX rifles are really wrapping around my brain stem. It's gonna get expensive!
Nice job ...... Krylon instead of Wally World rattle can ....... first class all the way.

Re: Krylon'd my AIAX today...

What can is that on there?
 
Re: Krylon'd my AIAX today...

turned out really good, IMO

Hope Bm11 doesn't mind me replying for him, but Im pretty sure I remember him mentioning that it was a thread on can Hugh.
 
Re: Krylon'd my AIAX today...

agreed the FDE color makes the stock look like a toy and super plasticy. nice job.
 
Re: Krylon'd my AIAX today...

the FDE is the only thing i don't like about the AXs. Looks great.

I have the factory Bartlein barrel with the SAS QD brake, so I might end up picking one of those up at some point, but the thread on has been working real well, so we'll see.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: rundm</div><div class="ubbcode-body">How does it shoot? </div></div>Like an AI.

To expand on that more, it is the most comfortable rifle I have ever handled. It fits me like a glove and is very easy to get on target.

5 shot groups at 100 yards are easily .5 moa or better. Luckily, I haven't had to shoot it at 100 yards lately. I have taken it out to and made hits at 900 yards.

The more I see of the AX the more I hear those voices in my head.........they keep getting louder...............<span style="font-size: 8pt">"Buy me!" </span><span style="font-size: 11pt">...."Buy me!"</span>........ <span style="font-size: 14pt">"I want one!"</span>....... <span style="font-size: 20pt">"Buy me!"</span>

Thanks for the info. I have an AE MKII with 18 MOA mount on the way and am seriously thinking Hendsoldt for it.
 
Re: Krylon'd my AIAX today...

The multicam Krylon job looks great to me, especially considering that it's your first paint job.

Re: Krylon'd my AIAX today...

How do you like that bi-pod. I'm waiting for the AICS AX to be available, then my 700 will be complete. I'm really looking at that Atlas V8 to complete the package.

</div></div>Hah! If I could fully convince myself that I'm never going to sell any of it, I definitely would.

While right now I am thinking that I will be "keeping it forever" there is always the chance that I will sell something.

With the harris adapter, the profile is nice and low.

I have been thinking about trying a Harris with Pod Claws, but the atlas works so well...
