    Do you have the cheek piece lowered as far as it will go? With the adjustable butt pad you could maybe lower the cheekpiece and adjust the butt pad accordingly to gain some additional room for your head position. I also adjust my cheek piece laterally to the side to allow my head to come...

    Why do you need one? Do you know how to remove and install one?

    Biggest challenge is going to be properly aligning the action in the AT chassis when you bond it. When you bond an AX or AO chassis it has the side walls that hug the action and help align it, and you can confirm with how the barrel is centered in the forend. I believe AI uses some sort of...

    Suddenly we've gone from "most reliable rifle in the world! 100k rounds of 308 through a 1997 AW!" to "I need 3 bolt assemblies to feel safe shooting 2000 rounds of 6 GT per year

    Do you guys keep 2 spare bolts for all your other rifles?

    Why are you guys feeling the need to buy 2 spare bolt assemblies? Even if you have 2 rifles it seems unlikely you'd have both go down at the same time and not be able to get one repaired/replaced by AI

    Can't you just lay down and shoot on the grass without a mat? Can you shoot more than 200yds at this range?

    Have you swapped the sticky bolt into the second rifle to confirm it's the bolt itself, and not the action or locking ring of the first rifle? Is it sticky with the firing pin assembly removed?

    My Fix It Stick limiter is definitely the bottom to big daddy Snap On. The Wheeler fat wrench sits in the cuck chair and watches.

    Who said I was being sarcastic? Clearly I struck a nerve with you and your Snap On torque wrenches. If you’d like to have a very serious and very grown up conversation on AI stuff let me know, otherwise I’ll be over here not worrying about the torque on my bonded rifle.

    You've heard that new mil rifle variants are bonded?

    Agreed, and any time a gear issue affects a match result it's frustrating. I wonder why the current action screws are only 35 in-lb. I use 55 in-lb for all 4 action screws on the AT/AX/AO, which has the small diameter rear screws (near the trigger guard) and standard diameter screws at the...

    I hope everyone now worries that whenever they have a single flier, maybe it's because they didn't torque their quick loc screw to exactly 54.3 in-lbs using a calibrated Snap On digital torque wrench. "It's definitely not YOU, it's THE SCREW" Funny, I've never worried about action screws or...

    I use the Fix It Stick 49 in-lb limiter, which yes, is listed as being +/- 6% (46 - 52 in-lb)

    You can test it for yourself, but if it's shooting good at 49 in-lbs there's probably no reason to change. I never had an issue with 49 in-lbs personally. I had a theory that for the bonded rifles (AT/AX) that had issues with 49 and needed to go up to 55 or even 65 in-lbs, that the barrel...

    I mean...I don't think anyone believes the bonding is intended to allow the rifle to perform normally without action screws, but I know for a fact it won't come apart on its own. In my opinion the true benefit of the bonding agent (which IS glue), is to prevent zero shift in the event of a hard...

    Do you normally shoot in 250°F weather? Because I've never had an AI fall apart unless it was coming out of an oven. I use Devcon 2-part Aluminum putty #10610. In my research I found that was what I believed to be what AI used on their production rifles, but I certainly could be wrong. I...

    AI AX308 Grip mods?

    Vision said they only made that one set, I'll ask if he plans on making any more

    I think the factory SFP is a superior design, the small-diameter portion of the tip is shorter and I believe it will be more robust. The bushed version has the small-diameter portion much longer so is probably more likely to be damaged or broken by an overpressure round. Personally I'd eat the...
