Shortest Barrel to fit into an AXMC?

I really like the idea of this 16in barrel with a supresor in an AXMC will there be enough meat on the bone in order to pull the barrel out? I dont plan on having a brake or anything it would be a direct thread supressor.

I would make sure they have the flats on the AX with the 13" forend tube.
The MC has a 16" tube so it may be covering the whole barrel

You need to find out if they measured from the shoulder, 16" from the threads wont work

So I was looking at the AXMC-308 so it would be the 13in rail, and I thought the flats was for the old versions without the switch barrel Hex key system so I shouldnt need a wrench to get it off I though it was just hand tight until it hit shoulder?

Even hand tightened into a quick change (2014+) receiver, it could be difficult to break loose when you go to remove it.

Here's my 16" factory barrel with 13" forend. The wrench flats are under the forend and if I shoot the gun much I have to pull the forend tube to get enough grip to pull it off or I have to use the suppressor to unthread the barrel(which I dont like doing)

Wow fantastic thank you WyFox, How difficult is it to remove the Forend?

Just remove the 2 screws on the forehand plastic cover, then 2 screws and the handguard slips right off

Just remove the 2 screws on the forehand plastic cover, then 8 screws and the handguard slips right off

The post-14 factory AX rifles (at least the short action) only has 2 screws holding down the handguard. I believe the old version, or the AX AICS chassis, used a different bolt pattern.

You are correct sir
Edited post , was thinking of my old AICS chassis

Can you put one of the 16in hand-guards on the short action AXMC's"
