If you want to sell it, I know some people who will buy it today
Accuracy International AT-X

- Start date
I’m getting some bolt ride over issues on my ATx with multiple factory mags. Compared to my AX the bolt barely contacts the mag follower on an empty mag.
Needed a little weight on the back to balance the rifle out. Looks like it will work, just need to cerakote it now. Weighs 1# 5oz. No weights up front just a 26” MTU.

Any idea on what happened to the ones that were heading to Australia in the first batch? I was told December at the latest but haven’t heard a thing...
I was told end Jan (after being told September/October/December.....).
I asked in December - "Should I put in my PTA????
Reply - "no, not yet...."

First batch arrived into Australia but the first batch was only 6 red all of which were sold prior to arrival. The next batch included 9 FDE and I think another 10 on the way. Again all pre sold so depending on what colour you ordered and where you are on the list would change when yours would arrive
I ordered back in February/March 2021. I’m told will be March/April (not sure what year) for my black one.Elite sand... so elite you can’t even get one
Yeah, I have the same issue. AW mags work fine though. I called AI directly, and we talked. I'm going to tweak the feed lips. If that doesn't work, they've already told me they'll replace the magazine (just gotta call in for an RMA#).
Based on your comment (multiple factory mags) though, I'm wondering if the mag latch is a just a tad too short.
Do guys generally prefer the bolt to stop on an empty mag? I’m not really a fan of that with my AXSR. I do a lot of single feeding though. Have to give the follower a little push when single feeding

I need to do that on my AXSR mags & AW mags. It’s useful to let me know when I’m empty but I like the flexibility to single feed quickly. I also have the PIG +3 rounder in the event I need to single feed with the AW mags yet messing with the follower during a match is the last thing I want to deal with.
Easiest fix- put empty mag in rifle with bolt back. With the palm of your hand, hit the bolt handle forward and it will chip off the perfect size off the corner of the mag follower and you're good.
And before anybody says it will mess something up, I've done this to 6 mags without flaw. It's steel vs plastic.
I can post pics of how the follower looks if need be.

So my temporary fix, loosen the mag catch assembly and I installed to small shim strip pieces and tighten the latch assembly down. Works fine now. Can’t remember right off how thick the shim stock was but I tried different thickness till I got the same mag to bottom of bolt measurement as my AX.
Ya 2 seconds with a dremel wheel to the follower gets rid of the “last round bolt catch”
Shit was thinking of selling my 6CM to finance one of these but it seems like waiting a bit longer might be a good idea. Following.
Looks like the 2022 pricing is in effect and this blue one in stock most likely doesn't have any of the new gen components. Major oof.
I did….back in February 2021.Pls re-read post #3 on this thread. You're on the right track
All AT-X rifles and AICS ordered now will be what we call Version 3 and what has been referred to here as Gen 3.
The new common rear end with single thumbscrew adjustment for cheek piece and LOP is included.

I was talking about that particular one at Mile High, the only model in stock for purchase. Someone has to take one for the team to clear old stock.
Where are the elite sand bridges though?
I to had some bolt ride over issues with the mag the rifle came with and two others i picked up from MHSA. It only happened 2-3 times so far but i was pretty bummed out and didnt know why. I hope i dont have to "adjust" anything on the rifle.
Hey mate, so do AW mags work as well as AX mags in the AT-X? I have a couple extra AX mags for the rifle when it arrives….but over here in Oz we wait a while for things and AX mags are out of stock but there are some AI AW mags still available. Cheers
I've been running AX and AW mags in my AT-X for a year without issues. @hic28 hasn't had any issues either.
@MarinePMI is just having issues with that specific AX mag. Should've had him bring it to my match last month so see how it ran on my AT-X. Lol
I have the AX mag that came with the rifle and picked up a new AW as a spare. I have experienced a couple of issues with the AW mag of the bolt not picking up the next round.
But I haven't spent enough time with it to confirm that it is definitely an issue with the mag (most likely from pushing it into a bag) or if it is operator error on my behalf.
I am in Canada. These are very first batch in Canada lol.
I guess this might be the Gen2? Except the black set screws, can’t tell any differences from the Gen 1.
My AW's worked fine, they just don't lock up in the front like the AX mags.
black... Nice . my favorite ATX so far. Those red guys have a need to match their fingernails.
No, they are the much longer magnum size magazine with internal spacers. Like a DTA mag, one size, while spacers manage the rounds internally.
(NOT my photo, an early AXSR mag demo. 338LM size vs 308Win size.)
Since the AXSR doesn’t use a mag adapter like the AXMC, all the AXSR mags(308, 300WM, 338LM) are sized the same to fit the chassis.
