Does anyone have any idea what time frame we are looking at for chassis? Wish they would have gotten this out before I bought my AX last year.

I don't even think they have a date for all the backorders yet lolDoes anyone have any idea what time frame we are looking at for chassis? Wish they would have gotten this out before I bought my AX last year.
I thought AI said the pre-orders ship end of March, beginning of April?I don't even think they have a date for all the backorders yet lol
All ?... Or the first shipment will be out then?...I thought AI said the pre-orders ship end of March, beginning of April?
If anyone here switches out from their AX chassis to a AT-X and wants to sell their AX chassis I would be interested in buying. I have an AT I wouldn’t mind switching to AX if the price is reasonable.
I thought it was mentioned the first shipment would be pre-orders and once they sold out, it moved to back orders?All ?... Or the first shipment will be out then?...
Speculating, but selling the AT-X chassis early in the process doesn't seem a prudent marketing move. Disclaimer, I'm in no way associated with AI, nor do I know anything more than anyone else in this thread.If anyone here switches out from their AX chassis to a AT-X and wants to sell their AX chassis I would be interested in buying.

Lothar Walter and WinTac. Most of the barrels you'll see in the U.S. are WinTac.Who makes AI factory barrels?
I'd be shocked if they had enough to fill all preorders on first shipmentI thought it was mentioned the first shipment would be pre-orders and once they sold out, it moved to back orders?

You kids need to realize, they go on lockdown all that time in the UK. That's why we still haven't seen the AX50 ELR...
They don’t, they are Bartlien blanksIve heard of WinTac before but I assumed they were just doing the chamber work. Didn’t know they made the barrels
Sorry - they use Bartlein blanks and finish them - I should have read your question.Ive heard of WinTac before but I assumed they were just doing the chamber work. Didn’t know they made the barrels
That’s why I went with the M40 contour we do. It’s 1.200” on the breech diameter.You can't put a straight barrel on (only a gay one), trust me, I tried. 1.250 would make contact with NV bridge during recoil. So I had to shave it down.
Played it safe with 1.200 for about 5", then tapered to 1.150" at the muzzle. Still beefy.
@Frank Green Here's the specs for my 24" 6.5CM barrel that came in my PreProd. 1.225" at the shoulder and goes to 2" before it starts to taper, end at .980" at the muzzle.
So it's 1.225" for 3.5" (1.5" are tenon threads) then tapers to .980" at the muzzle for 24". Weighs 5.26lbs
You kids need to realize, they go on lockdown all that time in the UK. That's why we still haven't seen the AX50 ELR... don't get all upset when the dates keep getting pushed further back. Go watch paint dry instead...
@Chasing3 I have one in the PX... just saying.
Sorry - they use Bartlein blanks and finish them - I should have read your question.
I think WinTac has been around since 2015 or so and is a sort of "collaboration" with AI due to the WinTac ownership. They have basically replaced the previous AI barrel suppliers (Border, Dave Tooley and I believe some others), supply US barrels and 6.5CM barrels for the U.K (using Bartlein blanks). I'll stop there as I may be talking out my backside, I don't keep up with all this stuff like I used to. Apology to AI if I got this wrong.
So if im reading this right the #6 contour i have on order to go in one of these will still work, of do i need to be running the M40 contour?
The #6 should still work fine. As has been pointed out....look up at the NV mount area of the stock. Try and get a measurement of the max. allowable diameter that will fit. I think you will be o.k. though.So if im reading this right the #6 contour i have on order to go in one of these will still work, of do i need to be running the M40 contour?
Not all the AI guys are ranked as Pros.I see 4x red AT-X rifles
practscore shows 4 pros total
we’re the AI team the only pros at this event?

The Quantico Shooting Club matches are local to us and we intend to come out and support them to maximum extent possible. The inaugural match was very successful and I expect subsequent matches to be even better. We may shoot tactical class in the future to mix things up, but we are definitely supporting this series regardless of arbitrary classifications.I see 4x red AT-X rifles

Please define, "tuning fork effect". Can you supply some test data to quantify what you are saying?Without weights, does the forend have that tuning fork effect like the ACC?
there should be a few out there when people switched to the accuracy obsession chassis maybe @samb300 could help youIf anyone here switches out from their AX chassis to a AT-X and wants to sell their AX chassis I would be interested in buying.

My educated guess would be, Depending on scope/bipod choice you could get it to around 15lbs with a proof barrel around 24”. My AI AO is about 8.5lbs without a scope/barrel/bipod.I remember frank making a comment about AT-X possibly being a decent crossover rifle with a lighter barrel since the factory supplied barrel is a ... Bit of a thick chick ....
So for those of you that have been able to put hands on the few atx units that are out there ... I'm curious ... has anyone played with lighter contours or proof barrels on this thing to see how long of a barrel and suppressor it would take to still get it to balance? I'm curious how much lighter this thing can get and maintain it's function...
Lol everyone else is trying to make it as heavy as possible and your looking for a hunting rig...I remember frank making a comment about AT-X possibly being a decent crossover rifle with a lighter barrel since the factory supplied barrel is a ... Bit of a thick chick ....

I imagine the two are going to be very similar with all things considered so that is likely a realistic range. ThanksMy educated guess would be, Depending on scope/bipod choice you could get it to around 15lbs with a proof barrel around 24”. My AI AO is about 8.5lbs without a scope/barrel/bipod.
my proof CF 24” 6.5CM barrel is about 3lbs.
Lol, hell no. This thing is 2x the weight of what I'd call a hunting rifle! After listening to one of the interviews, I was just curious how light can it be and still maintain it's purpose since Frank was hinting at it being a crossover rifle.Lol everyone else is trying to make it as heavy as possible and your looking for a hunting rig...
I bet with glass no barrel your probably 12-14lbs
With a shorty steel or pencil barrel or a carbon I bet your minimum 15lbs
I'm definitely interested in making my AT-X lighter as well. Specifically for predator and DMR training. I'll be perfectly happy with a 15lb or less fully dressed setup. Looking to run a 22" Proof carbon in 6.5 Creed with an Ultra Short. Looking to take advantage of the AT-X's lower bore height in the chassis to mitigate the recoil of a lighter barrel.I remember frank making a comment about AT-X possibly being a decent crossover rifle with a lighter barrel since the factory supplied barrel is a ...

12.9 lbs - Naked AT-XI bet with glass no barrel your probably 12-14lbs
With a shorty steel or pencil barrel or a carbon I bet your minimum 15lbs
12.9 lbs - Naked AT-X
3.0 lbs - Optics and mount
-5.8 lbs - Subtract barrel

10.1 lbs. " . . . glass with no barrel"
No way Jose!Or a whole ax since they are worthless now ?
Shut your mouf...I need a worthless ax for 4 k lolNo way Jose!
The AT-X is kinda cool for those PRS guys that like to shuffle weights around and run red or blue rifles but Ill keeping my AX.
I cant be the only one that is not a huge fan. I admit the red on black is pretty sharp, but I feel like guys are trading in their F150s on a Miata with this one. Pretty red, light, and fast, but loses the military robustness.
