Did you double-down & go with no threads so you couldn't even if you wanted to...?![]()
Unless it’s totally broken and falling apart, a bipod did not make the difference in those groupsTook 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!

Mmmm, ok... I've got nothing against the Harris (I have about 4 of them), but the CAL is a more stable platform. That said, there is no way you go from what looks like a 1.5 MOA group to about a <0.2 MOA group just from switching bipods unless something is very wrong with one of them. There is something else at play there. I shoot the CALs better, but the difference is minimal, not huge like that.@vh20 less the bipod itself but how I'm loading them and the harris works better for me. Going to test a bit more but explains why I always shoot one gun with a harris better than everything else that uses the Cals.
Where did you buy the Arca rail and thumb rest? Shipping from Anarchy Outdoors is over 100USD.
So that guy's parents telling everyone they never had a child and proud of that decision.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.

Why do they have pantyhose over their heads? Is this a sniper thing?View attachment 8630437
Green Machine. This time it’s the Germans
It might??? I’ll have to check into it. I’d need to drill a screw for the quickloc for sureWould an AW forend help? If i mount the back part to my awsm i have one AW forend left?
Kinda crazy how different Elite Sand looks in different lighting.Just got set up with an AXSR and a few barrels. Had one range trip to get zeroed and test out the other barrels and start figuring this thing out. Been a dream rifle for years.View attachment 8631607View attachment 8631609
Is the vision forend colour matched to the thumb hole skins or are they painted also?6-month evolution of my lovely money-pit.
Next up is a S&B and then that should suffice

???mlok plus 2
The Keymod +2 fits the AI keyslot. I briefly used the +2 and had no issues attaching it before deciding I didn't have a use for it and relegating it to the parts bin.???
What is that? In any case, I severely doubt anything will fit keymod that isn’t made by AI itself.
Ah, so @clefairy might be mixing up the name.The Keymod +2 fits the AI keyslot. I briefly used the +2 and had no issues attaching it before deciding I didn't have a use for it and relegating it to the parts bin.
There's no denying that the lockup and repeatability of Keylock is superior to both Keymod and MLOK but the little angled wankers aren't aesthetically pleasing lol.
How the fuck did you score spare bolts.I should be good on spare parts for the foreseeable future once my QD cups that are out of spec get replaced.
ETA: I can't believe that AINA doesn't have any spare flush cups in stock

Can't wait for the Gray Ops AW .308 mags!
How the fuck did you score spare bolts.
They do runs of them once in a while. The last run MH, euro and Mountic all had bolts at the same time. I bought two of them. SFP bolts. One is at black canyon customs being converted for WSM cartridgesHow the fuck did you score spare bolts.

If I can get another bolt to run 6.5PRC in my AT-X I would likely get rid of my AXSR. Going to sign up everywhere for notifications.They do runs of them once in a while.

That’s one thing about AI. They do things in runs. So if you have a wish list then be ready when that item becomes available. The next shipment will likely be a year out or more
MH hooked me up today with my DE skin set. Super awesome to deal with and they carry stuff not listed on the website. So calling them or euro when you are looking for something is the best way to go.
FYI I just ordered 2 cheek piece thumb screws for my second AIAT. I have the AI logo ones on my other and they look much better than the Amazon specials I have on this one I orders skins for. These don’t have logos on them but I don’t care about that
Link for anyone interested. 8 left in stock. I know we had several members trying to locate some a while back. Same 20333 number listed on euros site

That's my trick for how I got my 2nd ATX bolt. Paid $1k and it arrived 13 months laterView attachment 8632591
And backorder that shit if you want it! Don’t do notifications!
Yeah, you gotta put all the cash up front, but you didn’t get into AI’s for the financials, didja?
May work for you wrong handed people but lefties just wait and wait and wait.View attachment 8632591

For lefties you can either buy the bolts or the rifle but the laws of AI forbid you from owning both at once.May work for you wrong handed people but lefties just wait and wait and wait.
That sucks. Seriously.May work for you wrong handed people but lefties just wait and wait and wait.
Little light reading i picked up. Taking the AI out again tomorrow and testing loads in all 3 of my barrels.
