20% is quite a bit. If you're 100% set on buying tho, what's 20 now 80 later? It's all same in the end. Euro will likely get one before mile high. Guess it all depends how many in front of you.

Call up Mountic, high quality service that navigated some tough waters to get me this in time.

NRL OL is possible with an ATXC if you’re willing to get creative.
Gunwerks elevate 2.0 bipod with an adapter to run it on arca. This adds 2.4 oz over direct pic mounting it. So that’s some spare weight to pull out if someone’s scale is off at a match.
26” proof 6.5x47
SRS TI Pro 5 port
MDT carbon vert grip
Q fix stock (the only thing q makes worth a shit…. Barely)
Mk4HD 4-18
Hawkins ultralight mediums

MHSA has had payment in full from me for a couple of spare AT triggers since July 2024 and I’m still waiting. I’m NOT happy about it and will never do that again
If I could just get them to refund me and simply go without the triggers I would.
I mean If they don’t have them, and can’t deliver them, they can’t keep the money. I’d call them and just get them to refund.MHSA has had payment in full from me for a couple of spare AT triggers since July 2024 and I’m still waiting. I’m NOT happy about it and will never do that again

AINA needs to unfuck themselves.
You're right and I just sent MHSA an email asking for a date or a refund as 30+ weeks is just stupid for a couple of triggers. I also still can't believe that the US service center didn't have any of them on hand. If as a company AI can't/won't supply the parts then stop letting people backorder them through the dealers.
My spare lock rings took 12 weeks to get from Sporting Services UK which was still dumb, however, at least I got them and it was only 20% down with the rest due when they were received.
I've come to the conclusion that AI will never be easy to work with and that I should give up on them to ever change.
I’ve been an AI nut for a lot of years now but the fact that they miss delivery dates by months on end, lack of spare parts, and just a general poor attitude towards customers has kinda made me just loose interest in the company and the rifles. I truly appreciate their systems approach to the rifle and its robust design but after a few years of their continued lack of support and continued delay of delivery on virtually everything I have just plain lost interest in them unfortunately.
I’m right there with you.
I’ve been an AI fanatic for 25+ years now but they make it very difficult to remain a fan.
So I’ve got a regular (non-comp) AI trigger on backorder from MH too. Since July 2024. After reading your post and doubting it, I called MH to doublecheck that I can indeed cancel and get a refund in the future if I so choose to.
And they said “Sure.“
So don’t worry.
I’m keeping the backorder because the second I cancel, my trigger will shit the bed lol.
I think that’s the thing (if you’re not a lefty, at least). Buy accessories and little replacement parts far in advance. Treat AI like NFA items through the ATF; order and forget about it.
Lefties, however, gotta be downright masochistic to love AI, man.
All this "no spare parts" availability and support stuff has me smiling about this post from...the previous page.
I have an AT-X and like it, but you don't buy an AI for the CS and factory support...

@Scott Seigmund
Why should it take 30+ weeks to get a couple of spare AT triggers with no available ETA?
Why won't AINA sell certain parts (ie lock rings) and make me go to Sporting Services UK to get them instead since even MHSA can't order them in the US?
AI needs to get their $hit together if they want to retain customers. They're $5K+ rifles and I don't want to have to rely on AINA being around in 20 years if I need a firing pin or trigger someday as I'd rather buy them now and put them in the safe. I've never had a good experience with AINA in the half dozen times I've contacted them over the years.
First, sorry to hear about your struggles man. Unfortunately, this is nothing new and AI makes their money selling stuff to militaries and agencies. If you want fantastic customer support, you'll have to look at a different company or get a custom rifle made from a reputable 'smith. That isn't a bash on AI...at this point, we should all know what we are getting into.
I say this, and my dumb ass bought a Sako TRG recently...so I must be a really slow learner.
I said it above, I really like my AT-X. But I had an excessive copper fouling issue with my factory 6.5CM barrel and I got (0) returns on my voicemail and email that I left AINA about it. So, I gave up on that tube and continued marching on. At least I have the quick change ability, and a new barrel is only about a $1K setback by the time it is all said and done.
Do you have pics of this excessive copper fouling? Which ammo were you running through it?
Posted on Pg 103 of the AT-X thread IIRC. Excessive enough that I stuck a patch after round #4. I don't blame AI on the roughness of the barrel, they didn't make it. I just never heard back...and that is where my issue arose.
lol their phone number works? I tried calling the number they list and it insta-disconnects.
