Anyone have any idea what the "AS" is or what the concept is?

"AS" typically denotes the semi automatic version of the AI Series of rifles. For instance, the original AS was the AS50, the semi auto .50 BMG

"AX", may be the newest series of rifles to be released early next year. Kind of explains the massive amounts of AI product that has shown up in the US this year compared to earlier years.

Do you think the Semi-auto will make it here? After all, aren't they starting to make them in the US?

fwiw,
There is nothing more satisfying than being 15 minutes ahead of the next fad....imho

I've shot AIAWs for the last 5 years and sold them for the past couple. I was selling from personal experience on a known product. Same goes for the PMII, however, you can triple the hands on time. This MAY wind up being the way, however, I'd not go into debt to find out. Color me skeptical.

Looks like someone took the opportunity to mess up a good rifle.
Need an elevator to get to the scope.
