AI AX50 ELR Conversion Kits

3 things in life are certain: death, taxes, and AI release dates being completely and utterly worthless.
What ever they said, add minimum of 4 years and a max of never happening.
I recently spoke to Mile High and although they wouldn’t give me a date they did say “very soon.”
the tenon is M39x2.0
a 1.72" breech diameter is fine, but be aware theres not a lot of clearance in there up by the handguard. You do need a step down to 1.65" at about 2.3"-2.4". So you wont be able to use a 1.70+ heavy varmint type contour barrel

Thank you so much for that info! I ordered a 1.7”X4” straight taper to 1.5” finish. I guess I need to have it contoured down
I know its a semi old thread, but incase someone was googling like myself figured i would share. Shot AI an email about the ax50 conversions and they said:
"We do not currently have plans to offer .375 calibre conversion kits due to other higher priorities in development."
before i purchased q4 2022 they said q1 of 2023 was the goal. Hoping they dont bail on the 408 too.

There’s no market for it, or rather they’re not going to develop something to sell a couple of hundred of them. They’re a business.
They have a few large mil contracts that are taking priority. They built 408's for the French military. Sounds like the civilian offerings won't be available until next year sometime. Yes both the 375 and 408 are the same BF.
It looks like they are starting with 416. Maybe I missed it but I wonder if they'll make 375 and 408 ct kits for this platform?
Patients my friendLet's see... got my ELR August of 2021. Nearly 3 years later calbier conversion kit has yet to show up.
That's about Normal for AI!
Maybe another year or two... three
I feel ya. I bought mine early ‘23 not knowing AI’s excruciating product release timelines. Now I’m sitting here with a new barrel, brass, bullets, and a reamer. Only missing one thing…
what do you know about this? Will they be offering barrels?
Thanks for any info.
I'm not sure about the Mrad platform.
The website does state different calibers will be offered, so they'll probably offer barrel, bolt and mags. As of now it's showing 416 Barrett only.
Really not sure until it happens though.
The AI platform will only supply the bolt and mags, you'll have to source your barrel.
I've bought an AX-50 from Mile High a few years ago, have been enjoying shooting the .50 cal suppressed with a SOCOM50 out to 2000 yards, but have been waiting for AI for release their conversion kits. I got tired of waiting, so I moved forward ordering reamers and a Bartlein blank (approximately 8-month lead time for a 2"x40"), to get an interchangeable .416 Barrett barrel. Hopefully by the time, I get this .416 completed in 2025, a CT .408 conversion kit will be available to give me three caliber options on this AX-50 ELR platform.
