Ah ok, thanks. It must be some kind of early L115A4 upgrade.

OT but it’ll be quick.
Any of you dudes spin your Kestrel to help it reach air temp when shooting? Comment here.

MauryGold apparently thinks spinning is unneeded. I am but a simple farm boy and I spin. But I am curious as to what others do.

What are you using for the diving board mounts? I am running Seekings MXM mounts on most of my AR rifles and Badger rings on my bolt guns.

I spin like a cowboy spinning his lariat.
Well Bob's your uncle, old boy, comment here

The PH Spigot bipod as shown could be fitted into the original Hand Stop for high angle shooting. Asked for by SBS / SAS when they developed the L96 for Airliner operations in the Counter Terrorism Role.
It looks like they have removed the sling swivel from it though.
The handstop with integrated bipod mount is slightly different. I think this is a unique block that is welded onto the chassis in lieu of the plastic block that forms part of the stocksides.
The PH bipod and AI’s own mount design were only adopted with the introduction of the AW so not sure about your SAS/SBS connection, but I may be wrong.
My old AXSR with an 18.5" proof barrel. I'd imagine an 18" might work with the right suppressor + mount combo. In the example below, the AAC TiTan shrouds over the brake/collar pretty well so there isn't a lot of exposed muzzle device.

Please pardon this moment of self-indulgence:
You know how there's always that one guy who corrects someone when they say "My rifle is a 0.XX MOA rifle", by saying:
"Oh yeah? So you're telling me that you shot at least 5 (and more appropriately 10) 5-shot groups and averaged them out to be 0.XX MOA? I doubt you did. I bet more likely than not, you shot one group that was 0.XX MOA and declared -against every statistical "law" in existence- that that was your rifle's actual capability."
Yeah, I'M THAT GUY. IT'S ME! I hate it when people claim accuracy based on one (or less than 5) groups. The only thing worse is when people claim that 3 shot "groups" count. They do not.
With that said . . . . I shot the best 1,000 yard group of my life yesterday. Unfortunately, it was on steel and not paper (which is another grounds for disqualification when declaring accuracy capability). But it (again, 5 shots) measured 1-13/16" inches. I followed it up (with a 20 minute range break in-between) with another group where the first four shots were within 3.6" (0.34 MOA), but the 5th frustratingly ended another 2.5" up (being frustrated with a 0.573 MOA group at 1,000 is pretty great).
I forgot to take phot of the rifle, but it's my AXSA with its "practice" (not even the "good" one) 6.5CM Barrel. 140 Berger Hybrids in Lapua Brass (about the 16th firing on the brass), 43.2gr H4350 (velocity 2787 fps) . CCI BR4 Primers. S&B PMII (the "de-milled military 5-25 version). Elite Iron BiPod. TBAC Ultra 9 (6.5).
It doesn't look like 5 shots, but it is.
Numbered (in no particular order)
Follow up group first four out of five shots:

I deserve that for my past transgressions.
I agree with you.... but you left the opportunity on the table right in everyone's lap. Of all places here besides the bear pit this is the last safe lol.
It’s taking a lot of restraint to do this, but leftie AW at a good price with a lot of goodies… seller also has a barrel swap kit…
Cheers to whoever picks this up
For anyone looking for a lefty AW - one's just come up for auction on Holts in the UK. Estimate £3k-£5k
(https://www.holtsauctioneers.com/as...alelot=A0325+++1118+&refno=++227738&saletype=)
like the bus - none for an hour then two at once!
Never thought I’d see the day that two lefty AWs get posted in the same minute haha
I had to reset my GB password and by the time I did the damn thing was gone!
If it was righty I wouldn’t have posted it
Didn't realize it was buy it now for 4k. I'd have learned to be a lefty for that...
I tried but it was already sold
Since i couldnt find fitting skins i will now cut the one short action i have. However, i feel like just cutting the area you regularly see on pictures wont make it fit?
Am i wrong? Could anybody confirm the back ends are the same no matter if long or short Action?
Would leave the forend as it is and just attach the back part.
If this wont fir after i cut it, its going to be a very Bad day....

@DKN83 if no one has an easy answer for you I'll tear my two back halves apart and test it for you. It will be a AT rear testing a long action AICS back half.
Only the magazine part is different on the AW/AWM skins. Dremel away.
If it's any help, the rear end on OG AW skins with a factory fitted monopod looks like this. Only the magazine bit is different for an AWM as others have pointed out.
That was exactly what i was looking for, thank you very much!
Wish me luck lads, time has come for the 7 axis dremel
Best of luck. You are braver than I am!That was exactly what i was looking for, thank you very much!

I love the old school AI aw/at skin rear. Anyone have a set of any color they want to let go?
< pushing FUNCTIONAL aside >
Oh, ha! He misspoke, he didn’t want the older nasty green skins! Nobody wants those old things! They look like mold! I’ll help you dispose of them, sure, no problem! Did your dog just poo on my foot? Right!!! I’ll just, uh, pick it up with my hands! What? No, I love barfing! It’s a hobby!
Agreed good luck. Just remember, you can always take off more. You can't take off less. Go slow, and use a file/sand paper to do so.That was exactly what i was looking for, thank you very much!
Wish me luck lads, time has come for the 7 axis dremel
ah that's bull. measure none, cut a lot. dive in and have fun. a few Boilermakers really helps you get over the anxiety
I'm ashamed to admit when I read Boilermakers I wondered why you would need a few metal workers to trim a little plastic.
You’d think you’d only see that from a guy running 6gt
Accessories man... Sometimes you just gotta accessorize.
Hey now... I run a 6GT barrel, and I'm so old-school Fudd that I don't even run a muzzle device.
Guys, ich could get this AX50 for 6900 Euros. Maybe a bit less. I am not familiär with 50 bmg rifles nor that specific AI model.
Still waiting for round count.
What do you think about that offer? Included is everything in the picture.
Cheers

With the suppressor too? DO IT. These models are rare as they are now. It is absolutely worth it, presuming the round count isnt insane. What a wicked cool rifle.
Hell, if you dont buy it I might and import it.
It is actually that good of a deal.

Did you double-down & go with no threads so you couldn't even if you wanted to...?
Took the old girl out today. Meant to shoot the 6x47 barrel but apparently I forgot to seat the bullets deep enough and couldn't chamber the rounds.
Then screwed on the 16" 6.5creed barrel to do test some loads and was blowing primers with only 40.5gr of h4350 with a 142smk jumping .020". Tried 40.8 and had ejector swipes hard. Stopped there and scratched my head. Last year this barrel shot up to 42gr without pressure. No carbon ring...squeaky clean. Bought a box of 140 fgmm and shot the middle group and right group. 5rds each. Only difference is the middle group was shot with a Atlas cal and the right was a Harris. Suspected for a bit some of my issues was the Atlas, have similar inconsistency in other rifles i use it with. So fuck these fancy bipods... Harris fo life!
