Panic Buy AICS?

[Q-Unit]

With all the shakeups going on with the AI product line is there any plans on discontinuing the AICS stock? I have been wanting one for my Rem700 for a while, but it keeps getting put off for other things on my list.

Nope, still available and updated

What about the old style with the thumb-hole stock?

I believe they are being replaced. Mile High has all the info. Euro Optic had the AICS for $750

Honestly, a great many better chassis systems now exist. Go with a newer design, AI has for their rifle designs.

You'll be able to purchase thumbhole skins for the new AICS AT stock. The new AT version has a few improvements over the previous. You get a keymod rail on the bottom, flush cups, and a low profile latch with no hook loop hanging out if you go folding. If you can do without these features though you can get good deals on the old AICS right now,

Can you mount a picatinny rail on the bottom of the old AICS? My bipods are all picatinny QD. If so I might order up the old AICS. To be completely honest I mostly want the old AICS because I think its one of the best-looking rifle stocks out there. My primary rifle is my DTA SRS, but I just want to build up one of my old 700s to make something I think is bad-ass.

yes you can get some accessory rails. alamo four star has a nice one

You can get an insert for the bottom of the chassis or go with the front spigot mount to install a rail on the AICS.

I jumped on that deal on Sunday night. My new AICS 1.5 will be here tomorrow.

Trying to complete my first build on a 1.5 chassis now. Been collecting and saving for the parts
for over a year - time to get it done and out to the range.

Using a Rem 5R (85540)

And a 1.5 AICS chassis with some Viperskins

Atlas came in the other day along with the goodies to match it up with the new stock.

Got the Scope at last!

Waiting on the mount and misc tools to finish the build.
