Accuracy International AT-X

Surely can’t be too much longer
Hopefully get to fire a few through it before that happens. Then have to go bury it in a paddock like was done with many an AR in ‘96. Dude had a FDE one at a comp on Saturday so hopefully be soon…..ish!
Given I cancelled my ATX preorder… if any of you Aussies are interested in a brand new black long forend bridge, lmk. Hell, I can even coat it to a color of your choice..
Don't think so, just didn't make the first production run apparently. Any sort of update would be nice, even if it was hurry up and wait. The radio silence is a bit frustrating.
But they have enough to give away at matches and sell to randos on Saturdays. Lol
Same, I'm waiting for an update on 2nd batch production deliveries starting "late march."
@Timo Turl
Can you post your issues here? I think it needs to be posted, just not in the pinned "Official AT-X" thread up top.
Tom Irwin also frequents this one as well.

Its dangerous to think every mass produced item will be museum grade copy, Iconic the brand or model etc, notwithstanding...@MarinePMI ok I will re-post it here since you asked so nicely
Hopefully this is fixable to an appropriate standard of performance.

Mine does the same.
The rear of the mag is noticeably lower and can be pushed back/up. Then it runs perfectly.
But once I let up on the pressure, you can see the mag move down and forward in the magwell.
6cm runs over 30-50% of the rounds.

I bought mine from someone who got an elite sand in nov/dec and only fired it a handful of times.
Right. I knew you had just got one from someone. Pretty Shitty that you now have to deal with this
Sounds like the same batch as mine. The weird thing is, the AW mags from my AI-AT run fine through the AT-X. Go figure.
“Buy an AI it’s a *system* and won’t have any of the issues you have with mix and match guns with various actions / chassis “
It seems associated more with AX mags with the front lip. Regardless, it should absolutely feed with AX mags.
I’m not incredibly worried about it. I’m sure it will be taken care of.
It’s not ideal for sure. But the rifle is pretty awesome overall.
I’m more posting about it so that others who may be experiencing, but second guessing themselves, can feel better that it might be an issue they need to have corrected.
I had the same issue with my MC and AXSA with short action AX mags.
Yeah, same here. First production LRIP issues.
It happens, and AI has always made things right, so I'm not too concerned either. Match on Sunday, so I'll just run AW mags until this all gets sorted out.
Any chance you folks can ship to Canada, or would ITAR kill that?

next batch just came back from anodizing today
ITAR limit is $500usd now, so there is no reason they couldnt. Lots of businesses still arent up to date with the regs, or just CBF with international sales - which I understand.
I just checked mine feeds 6cm shitty. @Timo Turl who'd you contact at AI? Also, where does the shim go?
Jesus not very confidence inspiring this, hopefully if it is a problem here in Australia when the rifle turns up it can be fixed here with the boys at Delta. Last week fella had feeding issues at a PRS comp so there’s another one to add to the mix. 
Beating this horse isn’t going to help.
Shit happens. Let’s allow them to work it out properly without grabbing pitchforks.

I have a November 2021 delivered AT-X. My bolt rides over multiple empty AX mags. I didn’t encounter any feeding issues out of the 60 rounds of factory Hornady 6cm 108 ELD-M. I did notice feed issues with some 6.5cm out of the 120-ish rounds I tested before throwing the 6cm barrel on it.

Yeah, this is my first AI—I expect it be to be rectified but I’m still disappointed now that I know the issue is manufacturing related. Whatever, I buy sig sauer so don’t mind beta testing
I didn’t know it’s not supposed to not run over the mag when empty and I attributed the few feeding issues on me or ammo.

I expect defective chassis to be replaced.
I didn’t spend $6000 on a “system” to end up with half Ass shims shoved in with action bolts
Take the chassis that need a shim and sell them as factory blems for $1-2k off retail. Or give owners option of $1-2k back for using shin.
If they seriously just give you a shim and say GFL , then il probably sell this thing and get a Terminus and MPA/MDT or similar.
This is like the cinder block on the camels back after the lack of QC exhibited and the slow roll
Of accessories.

The shim goes below the mag catch. It has nothing to do with the action bolts
Just picked mine up from my gunsmith. It appears to be having the same issue. Bolt slides over the mag and there is some play in the mag. Will have to wait to see if I have any feeding issues until I can get out tomorrow and shoot. Being that k just had a custom cerakote job done though I’ll just have them send me a shim I guess.

It is dangerous to assume that a $6000 rifle from one of the biggest names in the history of modern precision bolt guns will function as intended. I do agree with that, based on evidence presented.Its dangerous to think every mass produced item will be museum grade copy, Iconic the brand or model etc, notwithstanding...
Mine has the same issue, for what it’s worth. Works fine with 308 but won’t reliably feed 6 Creed.
I'm not the kind of guy to pile on without reason. I think AI forgot how to make rifles you could trust in a real world setting. My last AI could not have received any sort of QC whatsoever in the assembly process, and there is ZERO chance anyone fired it.
AI management to the QC department:
AI support team when you let them know "It doesn't look like the QC department had a go with this one:"
My last gun-company fan-boi behavior died...when I get a gun from someone that has some esoteric and hard to measure thing wrong with it I can live with it needing some work . Something like "after a 400 round mag dump the piston gets a little sticky" or "we did a sand test..."
When any idiot could see it was massively fucked up....thats a mark on the chalk board.
AI - I love you but it’s time for couples counseling. I recommend randomly sending a QC guy to Ukraine to fight the Russians with a rifle they signed off on. Maybe once a week or so.
As for the AT-X shim thing - I would be flaming pissed off if I had paid a $3000 “It’s an AI” tax for a rifle system and the company that made the chassis that was fucked up decided to JB weld a hand filed shim in there to “make it right.”.
An AR10 lower costs $100 to manufacture from 7075 billet. Including anodizing. The core part of the AT-X chassis is similar in design feature composition and machine time. AI JB welded a hand filed piece of metal into your $6000 precision rifle to avoid eating $100.
Timo, ET AL:
This isn't a problem with U.S. rifles. We are manufacturing these guns both in the UK and the US. The unfortunate effect of posting this here is now everyone will assume all AT-Xs are afflicted with this issue. As I communicated on a PM, AI will absolutely correct this issue. This "fix" by the UK service center is effective but an interim measure.
-Scott
Not beating a dead horse and patiently waiting for the actual AI fix to come out as Scott talks about. Just adding my info so we can keep track. I have a 1st batch (Nov 2021) rifle. The factory mag exhibits this same issue as shown above with both 6.5 and 6 creed as well as 6GT. I do have two other AX mags that feed perfect. Run them in two different matches now without issue. Almost makes me think its a mag issue but i'll let AI figure that one out and just use my AX mags in the mean time.
