Probably ble because Morgan beats the crap,out of his rifle....Will the 6.5 prc and 300 wsm be the same except for the barrel, will it be interchangeable

YesNot sure if this was mentioned previously but will replacement barrels be drop in like a typical AI barrel?
Excellent work by they way! I had always assumed it would be too difficult to do this practically. I’ll gladly eat my words on this. ?
He definitely test his equipment, hence why I am pleased to have him giving me feedback on it. What’s funny when we ran that rifle prior to turning it in, IT WORKED. But he knows his rifle better then we do. Found a flaw so we started searching, found the issue and fix it going forward.Probably ble because Morgan beats the crap,out of his rifle....Will the 6.5 prc and 300 wsm be the same except for the barrel, will it be interchangeable
No, all AX’s were fine to date, but only tested 3, all different years, not by intention just luck. If it’s a 6 lug AI, the conversion will work. We think some of the issue with Selena (AT) was usage overall. With enough rounds the breech ring has to move ever so much, well apparently .002-.003” was just enough to cause a rub that Morgan nor we wanted.Good update Gilbert.
Does the manufacture year of the AX provide any evidence of which Rifles might be finicky with the 223 conversion?
Think I’ll have to have both conversions ?
With the current mags I’m at max length, you can’t pull 80.5’s out anymore or the bullet will fall out. Haven’t measured 85.5’s but they’re close on length. Current 80.5’s base is at the shoulder neck junction. Chamber is extended .100”Now just waiting on the AXMC conversion kit as I'd love my AXMC to be able to also shoot .223
One thing that could be interesting would be that it would let you shoot the heavy long projectiles that really stretch the .223 out, as well as the standard bulk stuff.
Then of course there will be the need to make a .224V.....
Drop in as in typical screw in and torque the quick screw ? YesNot sure if this was mentioned previously but will replacement barrels be drop in like a typical AI barrel?

with 3 bolts, in 223, 308, 300wsm it takes me 1-2mins to change calibers. Typical AI
In a way yes, their drop in, but it’s not a typical AI barrel if that makes sense.More along the lines of; i can order a barrel without needing to send the rifle in to the smith.
I suppose I could have worded my original post better.
I’m hoping to release some more conversions before the new year then full ramp up of production in early 2020.I may have missed it as I scanned through this thread but what is a realistic release time frame? It sounds like the 223 kit is close. I am ready to move on from my SRS and have been eying the AI AT, but have been hesitant because of the lack of magnum bolt face. This thread makes me want an AI now!

Do you know what mags ?I have it from the U.K. Accuracy International service centre that AI mags converted with the Various branded 6mmbr kits on the market work with the Valkyrie.
Well good luck to you!I’m hoping to release some more conversions before the new year then full ramp up of production in early 2020.
Pending 1 key part for mass release, the part can be sourced by the individual, but looking at bigger volume.
Do you know what mags ?
i tried it with my AW & AX mags with HRD kits and valk flies everywhere. It won’t hold rounds without bending the lips a lot.
Please let me know, gonna cut a head for Valk but don’t have a mag that works reliably without major modificationIt may have been AICS but will check
Already on this one, while the 223 has been out in testing I’ve been tweaking this in 300wsm. Feeding is great, mags need minimal work from factory, extraction & ejection are perfect.Lol, Not as much as the ax308 want a hunting round. Either a 300wsm or a 6.5prc please.

ejecting a loaded round is trickier, weight & ejection port opening
It clears, but if you try to extract to fast it’ll scratch the inside breech ring and may cause it drop off extractor. I’ll try to get a video tomorrow of it freeing & extractionI would be willing to accept dropping the mag to extract a loaded round. If I'm unloading I'm clearing mybrifle for the day to get back in my truck to head home. If it drops the loaded round down the mag well it's no big deal.
Pretty much got the kit ready, it’s ready to drop in. Now the next dilema is out to public, ordering, marketing and just getting it out in general.Hopefully these launch soon. Any updates?
Fantastic. I'm itching to get one.Pretty much got the kit ready, it’s ready to drop in. Now the next dilema is out to public, ordering, marketing and just getting it out in general.
Gotta figure out how to take orders, payments and get everything organized so we don’t have the typical late delivery the gun world is use to.
I guess best answer is we’re tackling the business end.
Ya it was more of a formality. Parts on our end are ready, just have to source a few parts to get everything together.
I can buy the needed parts but with that being a bulk of the kit it puts a big financial on me. Hence tryin to figure out best and easiest way to cover and start pushing them out.
None in my hands, I don’t have a way of testing on an AXMC or even pulling measurementsHow about the AXMC? it seemed like a couple of fellows were willing to loan you one to develop and test a conversion. Did that come to fruition?
the AO chassis works with a AI left or right handed rifle.... and que the obligatory question about a left handed model... Any chance?
I should have been more clear... I was asking about the .223 conversion.the AO chassis works with a AI left or right handed rifle.
you are correct my mistake. I was going though my notifications and got mixed up on what thread I was in. I don't have a answer for your question.I should have been more clear... I was asking about the .223 conversion.
The AO chassis does look pretty sweet, though.you are correct my mistake. I was going though my notifications and got mixed up on what thread I was in. I don't have a answer for your question.
Its definitely on my to buy listThe AO chassis does look pretty sweet, though.
