Why the AR-15 version ? I believe the only differences in the two types are cut outs for safety selector clearance (not needed on the AT-X) and possibly also a hole for the safety detent spring (though I think it's on both..but still...not needed on the AT-X) on the AR-15 version.

My ATX uses the Standard Chassis version. "The AR10/15 compatible Elite grip has a pocket for the detent spring in the top of the grip for a standard AR10/15 safety and is compatible with these rifles."
I was planning on running an ERGO vertical grip on my AT-X but considering the MDT Elite as well. For those with the MDT, can you give any feedback to how it compares to other AR specific grips?

For my bigger hands and long fingers the MDT just naturally puts my finger on the trigger more natural so to speak. MDT has a decent amount of adjustment which is nice as well. It slides fore and aft and you can adjust the angle some
If you make your thumb and middle finger touch like kinda like an 'OK' and see how much swell is in your palm, the answer is 'alot'...so the Ergo is shapped to fill this volume.... narrow at top, wide at middle, and round in cross section
Now, if you start a hard 90* trigger finger, for a direct-to-back trigger press, and look at your your palm...it is very flat..., and your thumb is naturally making the "hitch hiker" sign...notice the shape of your hand...? Totally different hand shape...So the IMHO MDT grip is based on this second hand position, is much flatter, wider and NOT round in cross section...
I would try to go to a match and try your hand on each shape if you can in person. IMHO it is very dramatically different options.

Got my chassis yesterday. Currently have the .223 Origin in it.
I absolutely love the Elite grip, but to a few people's points, hand size is definitely going to be a factor. There is a degree of adjustment available to tailor it to your preferences.
The elite is where it’s at if you like something fat in your hand. I love mine.
The Ford tractor arrived today! Question-the manual states the light first stage spring comes in the gun, however, the bag has a sticker that states "Light 1st stage spring" Is it a typo in the manual or is the bag simply holding the "heavy" spring?
I wonder how many times the bolt has been cycled. Im new to ai but mine doesnt seem to be that lite of a lift.
Had to put 4 weights on the right side so the gun wouldn't flip over every time you run the bolt
1,200ish rounds and at least that many dry cycles.

Shiiiittttt you got me, extend the Ckyepod way out wide on the right too.
Probably cranked down on the cant tension of that ckyepod as well
You’re reading way too far into this. Inconspicuous ratchet straps. That’s the trick.
For the guys the guys that own 700sa ATX chassis what stands out from it compared to a MDT ACC or a XLR envy pro (which I currently own)?
I have the ATX 700 chassis and to be honest, nothing stands out on any chassis to me these days. I think it comes down to preference and subtle nuances. I’m not sure one can be “better” than another. For me, I have an unhealthy obsession with AI and I liked my buddies ATX so I got the chassis when I needed a chassis. I’ve messed with the others and think they are good too. So I’m sure that doesn’t help but
I mean, for one, you wouldn’t be called a poor. So that’s a plus.
That’s about the answer I expected, you’re right everything is very similar in features. I am surprised that the ATX chassis is not more expensive.I have the ATX 700 chassis and to be honest, nothing stands out on any chassis to me these days.

It takes some time for the bolt to get broke in. It gets a little smoother with time. Mines already getting there with 250 rounds in it and another 6-700 dry fires.
My AXSA was very smooth but it had probably 6k rounds on it plus another 10k dry fires.

Thanks @Two Vets Sporting Goods for the pictures and @RS14 for the heads up. More of me and my ATX from Guardian Arena
I only have dryfire time with the ATX chassis so far but I do notice the slightly lower bore axis compared to the ACC and Envy. Is it an advantage, no. Plus I'm a sucker for a proper right-fold stock.
Geezzz. With fingers that strong your lady must love yah.
Anyone else here with an AT-X AICS and a Vudoo have to remove that black spacer at the mag well to get their action to seat properly?
I can’t imagine there’s a difference since the case is very similar. If it was it wouldn’t allow cleaning of the carbon ring by the neck
