Hey guys I'm looking for some pics of a badger m2008 or m2013 in an aiax with the full length forend rail. Wondering how close it resembles an actual aiax. Thanks in advance!
 
If you literally Google "badger M2008 or M2013 in an aiax", search images, and you'll get about 10 pics of exactly what you are looking for. You're welcome.

 
Negative,Already tried that. Can't find a single one with the top forend rail.

I am curious as well. Started a build on a badger action with a KRG in mind. Went to order one and even though KRG website shows it as option they no longer inlet for badger action... not finding a lot of other solutions out there especially on a long action. Not to hi jack your post but somewhat desperate in search. Should've ordered stock or chassis prior to buying action in this case would've used a different action. Makes a badger action hard to want to buy anymore.
 
just a thought, but isn't putting a badger M1013 into an AIAX stock basically an AIAX anyways? i can understand if you have either the action or the stock already, but if i was starting from scratch and wanted to go this route, i think i'd just buy an AIAX and call it a day.

I think the inletting issues are because of the square bottom of the M2013 action vs the typical 700 round type action footprint. While there are some gunsmiths that would inlet any stock/chassis for the M2013, i think you'll be hard-pressed to find them fit right out of the box.

Pretty much all of the big guys will do it no problem. Also, if you contact Marty (Badger Ordnance) he can get you an AIAX inletted for the badger. I had the M2008 for 2 years and then the M2013 for 2 years. Both were great actions. They are built like a freaking tank. I like the longer tennon and the easy of chambering barrels for the action. I also like the choice of remmy style triggers as I am not a fan of 2 stage triggers. Building a rifle on a M2008/13 will also be quite a bit cheaper than just going and guying an AI rifle.

Heres the pictures. This was my first M2008. I ended up moving away from the badger this year and got a tempest because of the inlet. I wanted to run a JAE and the tempest allows me to do so while retaining the same or very similar features to the Badger.

Thanks for the help fellas but I'm looking for one with the full length 16" forend top rail section. I'll just buy one and post a pic and apparently be the first guy to do so lol. The guy this rifle is for can buy whatever he wants but wants me to do the work instead of just buying one already built.
 
hunter if you could when it comes time post some pics I am thinking of an AX AICS right now I have an A5 for my M2013.

I certainly will. It's gonna be a couple weeks as the stock is off being milled for the badger.
