I was just weighing the mlok option vs the factory Key slot as I already have a bunch of mlok accessories . I don’t have any issue with the Key slot but I also like the mlok options. I don’t have the rifle yet, and I wasn’t aware it came with key slot rails. it should be delivered within a couple of weeks. I was told the mlok accessories may interfere with the barrel and I appreciate the feedback. Nice to hear from people that have first hand knowledge.
As said, they don't really interfere with the barrel itself, only the removal/installation process. The diameter of the chambered area is too large to slide in or out past the m-lok inside attachments. Once the barrel is installed, there shouldn't be any interference, so other than when changing barrels you should be fine. Your options when changing the barrel are to either remove the m-lok attachments first, or the forend (but then it may not slip over certain muzzle brakes, so...still a pain.
I agree that with the key-slot pic rail sections provided with the gun, it's a much better solution to just go that route.
Another instance proving that Legacy AI stands on its own and then some,... besting current AI pricing....and this is Mile High...no doubt someone will snap it up....
Man, that beautiful thing looks like it was barely shot. Sort of a shame.
What's the issues with Viper skins? Most of them that I have seen seems to fit wellI recently bought a 2011 AW from a local guy getting out of the game.
Low mileage MSA 260 barrel, AI brake and Seekins rings.
Now to get rid of the terrible Viper skins and track down some original thumbhole skins. Right now it is looking like skins are going to be hard to find.
I am thinking this will end up being a short barrel 308 with a Covert Suppressor.
Viper skins came out when the AT was the only AI in town and people wanted a pistol grip. Then the pistol grip AT and AX came out. Now people want the thumb hole for the classic AI look. Nothing I've seen say viper skins quality is crap , just the looks compared to what people want now.What's the issues with Viper skins? Most of them that I have seen seems to fit well
We've gone full circle.
Exactly. I remember when everyone wanted Viper Skins because they were “hot”! What’s new becomes old and what’s old becomes new.
I bought an ATX chassis off of a member here and am going to swap the action in my AT out for the new (to me) ATX chassis.
My question is, will the action screws I pulled from my AT work in the ATX, or do I need to order new screws for it to fit correctly?
I was able to find the torque values for the actions screws on the ATX but not the size/type.

What bullet are you using? Running some numbers it looks like the 168gr weight range is a little better than 175s in the shorter barrels.
If you need them reach out to Mile High to see if they have any. Or just continue updating your progress here.
Once you pull the AT chassis you can probably tell just by putting them into the ATX chassis if they’re going to work or not. Compare the two chassis with the same screws
Lots of us are active here and enjoy updates to guys working on their AI’s. So you may get lucky and find someone who has extras if needed.
I’m just going to guess they’re not the same length. As the AT is bonded and has spacers for the bonding between the chassis and action. So if it is the same length screw it would likely engage the action threads deeper with the ATX chassis as it’s a thinner chassis where the 4 screws are located. But I’m honestly not sure if they’re the same
Running the Magpul. It adjusts quickly. Is it the best? Who knows. It works though. Wish it had a bit of bungee to it
I run the rifles only bungee on my AT’s. I really like the bungee for using the sling as support when tripod shooting and what not.
Mine has the plastic buckles. I hade the TAB PRS sling before that with cobra buckles. Didn’t have the bungee which I really like having now. The cobra buckles were metal which also beat the crap out of anything they slapped against. Always worried me if my scope cap wasn’t closed that I’d hit the ocular lens of my scope if not careful
The metal ones were also loud when slapping against the side of the gun
I was mostly joking, but it does work if you SBR them and run short barrels and cans. Otherwise you're dragging the barrel. Super handy for short stalks.
I don't usually sling my AIs. If I do it's two point across my back muzzle down. Pretty much anything that's adjustable works well.

Anyone want to take bets on what this will finish out at? I am guessing in the $1500-$1900 range...and it is not even a folder...
Several people at the Quantico Shooting Club have purchased MRAD's as the package is about half the price (retail) of the SR. I was working with a guy having issues with his MRAD in .338, he was all over the target, just not on it (could be user error). The action was slick but the trigger was not. Got me to thinking if AI sales have suffered with the price increases. Purely an academic exercise if civilian sales aren't a major factor in growth strategies.

New to the club.
Don’t mind the razor, it’s a placeholder for now, I promise. Also, trying to figure out what bipod for this, long time Harris guy over here.

No, merely comparing AICS to trannies...
There are some awesome builds made with them, but an AI it isn't...and I say that owning an AI, but not being much of a fanboy.
Mark I in a Mark II folding chassis. Not the best pics, but it's all I have.
Before
After
My ATX chassis arrived today and the seller was gracious enough to send the action screws with it.
And for those of you wondering if the action screws are different.. very
ATX on the left, AT on the right.
Both the AT and ATX have different style heads for the front action screws vs the rear. But on the AT all four action screws are 4mm where as on the ATX the front are 3mm and the back are 4mm.

Don't worry, I am using an Atlas while I wait for a TBAC on order and to find a Cyke Double Pull in stock.
I run the atlas cal Gen 2 and cyke double pull as my primary bipods
Had the TBAC as well. But the atlas suited me better
I love the Atlas on my small frame gassers but I want something more substantial for these heavier sticks. I have been intrigued by the Accu-Tac bipods as well but I have never had the chance to play with one in person. I plan to pick up a Cyke Double Pull to try for classes and comps.
I also had the Accutac HD50. Solid bipod. Didn’t go as low as I wanted so I didn’t use it much but was build like a tank
I believe that was the one I had where when you pushed the lever on the leg the leg would slam all the way closed. Made hard for adjustment when the gun was setup.
Have you tried the atlas super cal? The super cal is like the BT65 but everything is doubled in size

That's my only gripe about the AccuTac, otherwise they're my favorite.
Down at Altus with my cousin getting ready for Saturday’s long range challenge match! No idea what to expect as this is an outlaw match…

No idea, I only went for the first time last year.
Having said that this is a zeroing bay on the opposite side as the rock pile
You’ll have fun. The finals are a bit harder than the earlier matches, but they mix up the stages, and it is a bit of everything. Last years final had a real KYL. (Center hit the first target, fine, the second should be easy……..darned near missed the entire planet earth) The “sailboat” was tough. Used the unknown ranges and they are long.
But generally we have a good time, everyone is friendly and I keep coming back even though it’s an 8 hour drive. (We are family members there, its that nice of a place to shoot)
