Don't see anything listed on their website, though.

Is this a phone - only item?

I believe you have to call or email them.

KWE1982 please keep us informed as I too would like one. Thanks

 

[Kwe1982]

I did one a couple years ago, a 300 blackout Greg did a real nice job.

 

[cro789]

Can you post a picture of the rifle?

Have fun finding a bolt! Or waiting for Bugholes to get some.

 

[Bugholes]

weve received all the bolts we had on order, took at least 2 years, these bolts are all gone. With the bolt availability and the fiddle-fucking around we need to do with each and every system, were probably gonna let it run its course and retire it. Im not planning on doing another run of heads and Ive got 3 or 4 more left- thats it. So I could do a few more with customer provided bolts, but as mentioned- good luck finding the bolts. For the guys who run it properly, its a good system and works. For the guys who are trying to run at 22-250 speeds, piercing primers, and breaking extractors, its less desirable

This is a dumb question. I assume the 223 conversion is reversible (by the user) back to the 308 bolt head…but since I’ve never had my post-14 AT bolt apart, I figured I’d ask. I do have an extra bolt.

 

[Bugholes]

It is completely reversible. Remove the SFP fire control and punch (3) roll pins to change the bolt head. Removal and reinstallation of the pins is straightforward but it has its pitfalls. You can get a pin cross-stuck in the bore of the bolt, and the pins need to be re-installed at a very specific depth. Too shallow and the bolt wont go in the action, too deep and features on the firing pin can strike or drag the cross pins. they are metric roll pins and can be removed/reinstalled 2 or 3 times before they need to be replaced

Are the bolt heads also epoxied in?

 

[Bugholes]

the Ai factory bolts do have some sort of epoxy or thread locker between the head and bolt body

 

[AXMC]

Thanks. But the conversion heads do not get installed with epoxy or threadlocker I take it?

 

[Bugholes]

when we install a 223 head we do not use epoxy or thread locker of any kind. The fitment is a slip fit, almost press fit
