I posted about it on rokslide. Essentially it was my first time handholding and the first shots in the barrel, so I was killing two birds with one stone. Getting 100+ shots down the barrel and generating a really statistically valid idea of WTF I did since I’ve never done it before.

Anyone have a line on a left handed AXSR 308 bolt? Also looking for a left handed 300WM AXMC bolt like Nik H. Already hit up MH and EO.

Try Sporting Services UK to see if they can get one. You’ll pay 20% down and probably wait a year but it’s your best bet. The next order window is in February for them so it’ll be a minimum of 16 weeks.

Got a part number from McMaster?



I'd normally use them. They've been out of stock for several months unfortunately.

I ordered these from McMaster and they have worked really well. I preferred these over the flush ones so they are easier to grab.

These are long enough to contact the studs in the cheek piece? I ordered some other ones and the 20mm weren’t long enough. I trimmed 25mm ones to make them work

Talking the AT thumbhole

Nope..been there and done that.

AI told me it would never produce a new run of LH AXMC 300 WM bolt bodies unless it had an order for at least 100.

I haven't had any issues with mine, although admittedly I don't use the cheekpiece much anymore. I will post some pictures tonight.

Talking the AT thumbhole
The AI logo thumb screws that I have measure 21.4MM. The most recent ones that I received from Sporting Services measure 20MM and the work fine. They are flush against the skins. Keep in mind that there is a barrel above the threads on the McMaster-Carr that is 10MM. The hole on my AT skins measured 9.97MM. So you should be able to open up the hole on the skins if needed. It may work out better to shorten the threads and have the barrel body recess into the AT skins.
 
This should work with the thumbhole. Just have to shorten a bit. They would stick out a bit though

So… while I wait for a can for the AX338…anyone using a blast deflector for one? And if so which one.
Be awesome if someone made a blast deflector which fit the AI brake.

Here are some pictures of the McMaster thumbscrews I used in my link a few posts back. Thread length was cut to 17mm, shoulder height 7.5mm, shoulder diameter 9.75mm, and the thumbscrew oal is 28.5mm. The hole size on my skins are 11.5mm wide and 9.5mm tall.

With the screws tightened all the way you can see the threads bottom out to the backside of the post holes.

This is the cheek piece height with the screws tightened all the way not allowing it to seat properly.

Here is the gap distance between the thumbscrew head and the side of the AT skins.

Maybe I just got lucky but hopefully it helps someone.
