The gun is awesome. Just going a different route.
The front lip should assist in feeding. If you’re running into issues it’s likely an out of spec mag.
AI will fix or replace mags that don’t work properly.
I personally bought 6 mags (3 ax and 3 aw) to get 3 (2ax and 1aw) that feed properly with 6gt and 6cm. I haven’t sent the 3 non working back, but will be soon.
Well here she is. Everything looks like it should. Ran some snapcaps through and it fed fine. I can pull the bolt out without removing the cheekrest which is a plus even though I ordered a hinge. Going to shoot it in a few. Overall I'm pleased. Will update if any "issues" arise.
I’ve been running mine without a bagrider since I got it. Waiting for the sawtooth bag rider.
Your rear bag needs to be a bit bigger without the bag rider but it hasn’t been the end of the world
No feed issues. 22lr level recoil with the weights. Does well with Hornady match. I should buy more AIs......
My new version 2 red I picked up on Tuesday. Bridge and folding hinge installed.... 
FYI - I just posted in the PX we have :
(1) Black AT-X ready to ship
(1) Elite Sand AT-X inbound (we are taking orders, will have it in 2-3 days)
(1) Red AT-X inbound (sold)

For $500 extra we can do that
Additionally we can add R-Lock to the bottom of the Dovetail for you as well. I really like the feature on mine...

Also, if not already doing it, when opening the bolt, place your thumb directly behind the firing pin. Thumb print down.
Use that for leverage to open the bolt with a “knife” hand.
Doing this, the rifle pretty much doesn’t move and the bolt pops up and open easily.
Most of the time when I see someone having issues with rifle or sight picture moving, they are not using their thumb. This usually smooths everything out.
As you can’t just touch the bolt open like most of the popular two lug actions.
I took my own advise and bought an in-stock red and canceled my order for a DE.
My brother in Christ, that gun has approximately one mile of ARCA dovetail on it for bipods, tripods, and probably some kind of -pods I don’t even know about yet. Are those adapters next on the shopping list?
Looks excellent, by the way. Glad you enjoy it.
You #@$%! Bout 5 days ago woulda been nice to know you had my precious in black...
Oh well - red is starting to grow on me with that carbon fiber barrel/flake offset
Hey while its not overly difficult, its also not really obvious how to replace your fixed stock with the Hinge Assembly. I included some quick short instructions on my website where I list the AT-X Hinge Assembly for sale:
www.bisontactical.com
Here they are as well (since I just replaced mine):
Below the manual calls for 44.3 inch pound torque settings for #4 (bolts to main chassis), and #5 which is the bolt to the rear chassis. These are basically the same bolt sets you will use for replacing the fixed chassis with the hinge assembly. The AT-X Hinge Assembly comes with (4) M6 hex screws and (1) M5 hex screw. You will need to remove the part below that is between the screws #4 and #5.
Additionally, you will need to remove the below part as well (between #1 and #2). You will then replace these with the Hinge Assembly.
edit - of course there are the other parts like the part that keeps the stock in the folded position - those are pretty obvious so I didn't include them...

opening the hinge was the toughest part for me. The hinge is extremely tight and without the stock attached to get more leverage opening the thing took some prying which I don't recommend, maybe someone has better tips. If I was doing it again I'd probably try clamping the end in a vise with soft jaws and slowly tapping open the hinge with a mallet.Hey while its not overly difficult, its also not really obvious how to replace your fixed stock with the Hinge Assembly.

Ha, I did the same thing, but I think if I put the stock on to get it open, and just inserted both ends loosely into the slots, I could have done it without prying with a flat head screwdriver and marring the nice anodizing job....
Kind of difficult to describe I guess...
Another annoyance, but pretty trivial annoyance is now the stock closes right where I had my spare 2 round carrier... Gotta find another location for that now and there is not a lot of available space on the chassis
This is what I was trying to say I should have done
Same, thinking I'll try the elastic 2 round carrier instead of the Hoptic quiver to solve that one. I believe SAP makes an elastic carrier.Another annoyance, but pretty trivial annoyance is now the stock closes right where I had my spare 2 round carrier...

I had to move it below the flush cup that protrudes from the buttstock to get mine to fit.

What minimum height rings does a guy need to clear a Leupold Mark 5 5-25x56mm with the full length bridge?
Dunno about minimum, but most are shooting for 1.5” rings or mounts.
I tried 1.35 with a short bridge so clearance wasn’t an issue but even at the lowest cheek rest position the scope was too low. I went 1.5 and it’s much better.

Looks GREAT, @TylerN ...which bag rider is that? ...seems to be just what I'm looking for.

I know you’re not asking me but it’s the bag rider from BugHoles
Great feedback and instructions especially on opening the hing!This is what I was trying to say I should have done
What is the flushcup assembly for if I already have one on mine?

It's exactly that one; bugholes.com AI bag rider. (this time I'm typing up that URL from my computer so my phone auto-correct doesn't have it's way with their name
.)You're missing the lock that secures the stock open. Remove the flush cup from the stock (above the grip) and re-use the flush cup and small screw to screw in the post with the nipple on it. Then screw in the cup that clamps over the nipple on the stock like this. Then when the stock is opened all the way this catches and holds the stock in position.
Ordered! Thank you, Sir!It's exactly that one; bugholes.com AI bag rider. (this time I'm typing up that URL from my computer so my phone auto-correct doesn't have it's way with their name
Mine was a bit oversized and wouldn’t fit. I sanded it down a bit until it fit.Mine went in easily as well, didn't take any hammers
We finally have SOAR R-LOCK available for order for your AT-X

Pretty annoying the stock wont fold with the hoptic quiver. Why the hell did they put keyslot in that spot if the rifle can't even function properly with exactly what (I assume) was intended to go there?
