Really wanting to get my TBAC Ultra 9 out of jail.

Anyone convert their ATX to a short mag caliber? Been looking for a second bolt for a while with no luck. Really wanting to convert my ATX to a 7 SAUM but I have a 6BRA barrel that is an absolute hammer and the factory 6.5 barrel shoots very well too. Not sure I want to give those up!

Yes, 300wsm and 6.5prc rifles so far. If you are looking I can get you one setup on a new rifle with or without a barrel. I wouldn't mess with a tac driver if yours is one in its current setup.
 
A second rifle is certainly easier and faster than finding a 2nd bolt. I'd like to convert a second bolt but getting a hold of the bolt is the challenge. I've had a bolt on back order for over a year now.

I even thought about buying another ATX for the bolt and then trying to sell the rest of the rifle. Maybe someone is sitting on a spare bolt and would jump on a cheap ATX?
 
15 more rounds down the tube today (40 total).

The first 10 inches have significantly less copper than last time (but round count is 15 and not 25). However from 12 - 23 inches it is still pretty heavy.

On the plus: including that almost new barrel CCB shot, my first 5 rounds went into .515". And my zero shifted all of .1 mil low with the barrel removal and cleaning...not shabby.

I'm still optimistic, but maybe a touch jealous of the guys who didn't have to go through this process 😄.
Do yourself a favor and toss that borescope in the trash. Seriously. You created a problem for yourself that doesn't exist. :)

Aw shit! I just pre-paid for an extra bolt last month. They did say it’s very slow to show up. Though it does come in. But goes to pre orders in queue.

My problem arose from sticking a patch in the barrel after the 4th shot and ruining a cleaning rod getting it out. 😄 Fortunately it gave me an excuse to upgrade that Tipton.

But I agree that more dudes do more harm than good with a borescope.

99% of my use with one is to verify my cleaning. I don't think there's a better tool for that purpose.
 
swapping out the standard rail for the high. Does Ai use any loctite on the screws? Does anyone have torque specs as the manual doesn’t have any for the rail?
They use loktite and shit pot metal, lots of heat and you MIGHT not strip any out. I know when I swapped mine I stripped out two. Luckily there are new screws with the new ai at high rails.

Anyone shooting 6Dasher in their AT-X? I’ve been shooting 6.5cm all year and want to switch to something 6mm and the Dasher is calling for me. Also what mag kit you guys recommend??

Use a T15 torx driver bit to remove the low rail. You'll have to tap it down into the screws, but it seems to be the best way to do it without stripping them. I may have used a little heat, but can't remember at this point. Blue loctite for the reinstall.

Mines on the way. Anyone else want in on this better get it fast while supplies are limited according to EO.
