I own a templar and an AICS, I once thought of putting them together but went another route.

It will fit with some work, and GAP will do it.

Yes

There is some work that will need to be done to the chassis.

Because the barrel tenon is longer the recoil lug sits farther forward.

This neccesitates the milling of the AICS recoil lug channel at the front and adding material to the rear of the lug channel.

If your handy with a mill and a TIG welder it would make the job easier.

There is also a way with a file and some Devcon.

Knowing what I know now

, sending to GAP would be a good choice.

I swear I saw a Crusader a while back sporting an AICS, but I could be mistaken. If I were you, I'd get in touch directly with GAP and find out what all needs to be done to the chassis to make the Templar fit properly.

Thanks.

Correct me if I'm wrong but GAP would be 12 months out....

Anybody else that could do to your satisfaction.

Also the rear of the bolt handle notch in the chassis will need to be opened up a little, atleast mine with the PT&G bolt did.

This is easily done with a small file.

A machinest could acomplish the mods to the chassis, especially if they also do the welding.

Have you tried hitting up the usual suspects ( gunsmiths ) here on the hide ?

Not yet, just attempting to see if the modification is doable or a huge pain. Anything can be fit with enough effort, just seeing if anyone does it commonly / quickly / reasonably.

Thanks.

Send it to GAP: it's not a R700 footprint. It takes more than you would think, and they should be able to turn it around quickly enough.

Speak with moon @GAP. He re-barreled a rifle and tuned everything for me in 4-6 weeks

I have a Templar on an AICS 1.5, done by George, but ain't no lefty.
BTW, there is some metal to remove from the recoil lug area, so it is not a drop-in deal.

Re: Templar Action fitting into an AICS?

Thanks to all.

I knew it was no drop in....

And yes, the guys at GAP squared me away.

Thanks again
