Accuracy International AX chassis , ARC Nucleus Barloc questions.

[jongurley]

Hey guys. Does anyone have any info or have you tried to install a arc nucleus or mausingfield with the barloc in the AX chassis. It looks like there would be some missing required and or some grinding. Just curious , thanks for any thoughts or info.

I have a nucleus in an AX, but no barloc.

You'll have to clearance/shorten the handguard for sure and possibly clearance a bit of the main chassis in front of the recoil lug. Doesn't need much though.

Here's some pics of the AX chassis right near the recoil lug, both with and without the handguard attached.

I think you may be able to get away with simply shortening the back of the handguard a bit to allow more room for the Barloc. I think the Barloc may clear the chassis itself without modding it, there's a decent amount of room in front of the recoil lug.

Note: This is a post-2014 AX AICS, not sure what the pre-14's are like in the recoil lug area. Other good news, the buttstock on the post-14 AX AICS clears the Nucleus bolt handle with room to spare when folded.
