Accuracy international axsa rail

[sog nut]

Is it normal for a accuracy international axsa handguard’s picatinnny rail to be very slightly higher than the action’s picatinny rail? Both the action rail and handguard rail are 20moa.

Have you tried to tighten it down? If you remove the scope you will see there are several areas you can tighten it down.

Is the top flush? Can't tell from the pic

Here is a picture of mine when I first received it. In my case it had worked itself lose, perhaps from the tripod Either way it was a quick fix in my case.

Thank y’all for the replying haven’t tried to tighten it down yet. Bkultra have you had any problems with it loosening back up after you tightened it?

 

[Bkultra]

Nope, it hasn't worked itself lose since then.

One of my AXMC's rails are off. No tighting of the rail will make them even. AI wants me to send the gun in for them to look at it. I'll first try swapping the forend from another to see if they even up. If that fixes it then the forend is the problem, if not then it's the pic rail that's bonded to the receiver that's the issue.

I had a very close look at an AX that had the rail on the receiver slightly angled and not perfectly parallel with the action. What tipped me off was looking down the two rails and seeing the direction change of the centre groove once it met the forend rail. On top of that, the action is ever so cockeyed in the chassis (a bit angled and not square) which also contributed to this. I caught the chassis issue while trying to figure out why the heavy barrel that it had was a little closer to one side of the forend than the other. Using a straight edge along both sides of the scope rail on the action definitely showed that it was off in relation to the barrel centreline. 0.6 Mils of windage to zero. Not sure if that’s relevant or not, could be the barrel timing too, I don’t know. The thing prints clover leafs though. I feel that I can easily pick out the flaws in anything. Which sucks. Takes the fun out of everything for me.

@Chargerguy My OCD allows me to always find flaws as well, but sooner or later you realize nothing is perfect.

I’m not very OCD but if my expensive AI was off from straight I’d be kinda pissed.
It’s not a savage.

In my case it was just the rail that worked itself lose, not sure if was from shipping or the tripod placement you see in my photo.
