How did you achieve that pattern? Looks good, really breaks up the silhouette of the rifle.Got this little stinker painted and put together tonight
- Thread starter Lowlight
- Start date
I looks like it gives some sort of dazzle camouflage effect. I bet it just disappears.Chocolate chip cookie dough
I don't know if I will ever paint a chassis or receiver because I suck at painting and would never be able to pick a color but I can definitely appreciate a nice paint job.
Nope.
Looks like the action is getting machined like the AXSR to save weight. And the PRO model includes the hinge and bridge out of the box like rumored.
The lighter weight action is interesting. My AXSR is a few pounds lighter than my AT-X which always feels counter intuitive. The ability to get a bit lighter if desired on the AT-X is a nice option because weights can always bring back up the weight if desired.
It looks to me as if the scope picatinny
is also taller?
The balance point on .mil rifles needs to be better out of the box. IF you solve CoG in maths / excel, you start to see some of these things pretty obviously. A ±3lb action is a pig of a rifle when built up, with a counterweight, to balance on a forward balance point.

I'd imagine replacing since EO and MHSA have been depleting all inventory through the $1k off sale.
I had the same problem too. MH is sending me a new part.
There’s been a pile of reports of bad barrels with the early atx s
I sold my barrel as I had a pile from my axsa so can’t report
By maths, IIRC, you typically want to solve nuetral CoG at the mid-point of 'that what touches your rifle'...
(to figure the rest out from there is pretty straight forward)
Rio is working on getting that info right now in the official ATX thread
$6500 ish. Waiting on confirmation if that's basic model or higher model.
May have to wait until after SHOT for final pricing on each specific variation. That's ballpark that was given to my guys at SHOT.
But, details still being released/finalized.

Not really,
I’m hoping the comp model comes in around $7k. That means guys like you and I with earlier versions who already added the bridge/folder etc will have guns worth well over $5k. Especially if the new action isn’t night and day difference. According to guys comparing ATX and AXSR the action won’t be an omg experience between the two
Best case for current ATX owners is if these come out $6500/$7000/$7500 accordingly
I’ll never pay that for an ATX. I’ll shop for a used AXSR for that price. But if I can get a lot more than what I have into my ATX which isn’t a lot I’ll entertain a upgrade
Yep, I'm in for about $5,200 for my gen 3 elitest of all sand including the folder, bridge, and "grip" in the back (probably should have went with a better bag rider). I am glad that I made my purchase when I did, because I wouldn't be in the market for anything once you get over $6K. It is not because they aren't "cool"...I can just build a whole hell of a lot with that $$$ and still have quite a bit leftover to put towards an optic. I'll GBPSE now...
The ATX launch, revisions, and crazy short lifespan has been pretty shitty imo.
Too bad the M-lok isnt standard over that keyslot. Cant wait to see how the LE pricing compares to the AX308 LE to avoid the keyslot.
Key lok is superior and is internally flush
Was thinking same thing. Key slot sits flush in the forend. So either you add size to the overall forend or your really limited to barrel shank and taper
The only thing keyslot does is limit accessories or at least cheaper accessory options. Beyond that it will be superior to mlok
Many confuse keyslot and keymod. Then compare the drop tests done to assume mlok is more durable. Guaranteed nothing on a keyslot is moving unless you want it to. Even if it comes loose to a certain extent it’s still not coming off
Yep, the way certain people frothed over it, made videos of it being a gamechanger blah blah. Waited 18 months and sold it with in a few. Mil one does look cool though but imagine be over priced and another 18 months. All too much of a wank for me.
Sneak peak of the Gen 4 bolt mod for superior cocking
I don’t have an issue with the ATX as a product - I really like my buddies. Just the Gen1/2/3 -> jks end of life product anyway, doesn’t sit well with me.
Thank you for the insight. I Wasnt aware.
Still over here waiting on a southpaw version. Dont give a shit what gen, atx, atxc-xyz. Just make one run of them please.
Just thinking outside the box here. Have you considered trying to shoot the thing upside down
Anybody pre order the either of the new ATX’s? Just curious what the wait time is. I remember for the original they said April/May and ended up being August. 
Also, what’s the deal with the high action rail. I see it is now discontinued? (29394BL) Do the new ones come with it on it or will there be another model rail coming out. I was just ready to pick up another ATX to get back into comps but figured I may as well wait til for the new ones now but was hoping not to have to wait until the year is over before I get one.

Lol at being optimistic about AI delivery dates
Buy one of the cheap ATX that come up for sale. They will go up in value from these selling points

As if it wasn't confusing and frusterating enough being an AI owner.... but in another thread someone mentioned 29390BL is now the part you want for the high action rail. I recently snagged one at eurooptic and while it doesn't say in the description my invoice says 29390BL is just the 29394BL and the mounting hardware.Anybody pre order the either of the new ATX’s?

I think a similar thing happened to the colinear full bridge rail as well and confusion on what they were was the only reason they were still in stock for me to grab them.
Still missing a dark earth rear grip assembly and hinge though...
Hey boys,
Thanks to a guy here on the hide, I was able to source the exact optic I planned to put on my AT-X. Wanted to share all the different shades of FDE to make the OCD guy’s eye twitch!

Oups sorry for the mistake that was for the AI picture thread
We'll let it slide, but only because that's a really nice looking rifle.
