Does anyone know who makes these mag bottom covers?

Looks like an old Seekins 0+ baseplate. I contacted Seekins about making some and they said they had no interest in making more. Best bet is DPET Fabrication. Link below

AW/AX Mag Base Plate — DPet Fabrication

Have an AW mag and/or an AX double stack? Want a little more to grab onto when pulling it from your rifle or mag pouch? Look no further! Simply slide on this base plate and you’ll have some more surface area to hold onto during those pesky mag changes. These will NOT magically allow you to

I've been pondering both the 6mm GT and the 25 Creedmoor with Blackjack 131gr ACE bullets. Shot @canezach 's 25 Creedmoor this past weekend and loved it, extremely flat... he was at 14.2 mils for 1660 yards and I was at 18.5 mils with my 6.5 Creedmoor at the same distance. Granted all I had on hand were factory Hornady 147 Match, but even with handloads I can't get that flat out of my 6.5 Creedmoor. And it's not so much how flat it shoots because we can always adjust our elevation, it's wind, I hold wind, and the less I have to hold the less errors I make

I shoot a lot of 130 grain 6.5 CM and it rocks out to 1350 which is the longest distance I have near me.

I am thinking of the 6 GT but not sure what it will buy me over the 6.5 CM other than recoil. Lower recoil is not a motivator for me as I shoot the 338 LM a bit. I am not shooting fast drills.

I have also been thinking that I am glad I have all the parts for the short action but maybe I'll get a 300 NM or a single feed 375 CheyTac barrel. I'll keep short action on the AT and LA on the AXMC.

Decisions like this are awesome

Just buy u a .283 bushing neck down your brass and buy some 131 black Jack's with a barrel and rock the .25CM. Berger is about to drop the .257 hybrid too.

Beautiful stick

Can you tell me where you got that bullet sleeve. Does it hold larger calibers? How many in one sleeve?

Thank you

Contact @softcock he made several ammo binders for me. Good guy and top notch products. Way cheaper than $90. Sorry for the shitty photos.

Do you know any more about this?

Yes I have several of his products. I don't think he makes a large capacity magnum cartridge binder

 

[Surly]

He made a 300 prc binder for me which is cip length. Not sure if this is what you are after, just an option

 

[Fixr]

Yes I have several of his products. I don't think he makes a large capacity magnum cartridge binder

I'm pretty sure he can make a binder for any cartridge, he made these for my 50 BMG with a 5.970 COAL.

They are from... https://www.praesidiarifles.co.uk/ they do standard and Magnum calibre’s they hold 50 rounds but they do produce smaller ones.

Been running these for a couple years now.

Walsh Custom Defense Link

Armageddon Gear are making these (collaboration), if that tells you anything.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I’m a big fan of the thumbhole aesthetic, so I decided to get an AISC 2.0 chassis and skin kit for my 700.

Here’s a family photo with the AXMC. I now have 1.5 AIs

nice. I’m interested in how they feed 6mm and 6.5CM in the AXMC. I’d love to see pics of the Elite Sand with the black 308 mags

 

[kocustoms]

I just loaded up the mag and was able to feed 6.5 creedmoor just fine. Worked great from The first round to the last.

@Huskydriver see you at the range bright and early tomorrow! @Mr. F you in?

 

[Mr. F]

Sooo in. @kocustoms @Huskydriver

 

[Movistar]

Omg elite sand MC plus black ASR 308 mag equals SECHS. That looks so good. I’m thinking maybe I abandon my Dark Earth plans and have my TBAC 338SR done in Elite sand to match. Elite sand plus proof CF barrel plus Elite sand Can. Yep.

so many choices.

@MACHTECH we need way more Elite Sand AXSR pics. Help me OB1. You’re my only hope.

I’m so glad I got this elite sand. It looks awesome. And the black contrast parts look really good too.

Morning lead slinging with @kocustoms and @Huskydriver

Longtime DesertTech convert ... couldn't be happier. Actually I could if I was able to get a hat!

 

[jtackmann]

Was finally able to take the AXMC out and shoot it.

good morning range therapy session ! With @Mr. F @Huskydriver

nice rigs! What is the wrapping around your scope?

 

[Bkultra]

@Surly that looks like camo form

 

[kocustoms]

@Surly It’s just some cheap camo curlex from Amazon. PM me if you’d like I can send ya the link.

Shot the AXSR for the first time today. Bore Sighted @ 200 yards, 2 shots and was in the red. 300 Norma Magnum with factory 230 grain Berger Match. Now I have to pickup reloading dies and some heavier bullets!

 

[CATM15]

Super late to the AI party but had to save my pennies for a while... .243win currently and have a .308 proof carbon barrel on order.

.243!

I have never thought about that caliber. How do you like it? What ammo do you use? How is the feed reliability?

Feeds fine and it's a barrel burner

Feeds fine and it's a barrel burner

Thanks!

I was debating trying a new caliber for my AXMC to celebrate the new short action, no adapter, magazines.

Maybe I will stick to 6.5 Creedmoor but I already have that for my AT

 

[CATM15]

Haven’t had any failure to feed or any reliability issues so far. Only sits at 138rds at the moment but so far so good. I’m shooting the 105gr nosler RDF’s at 2966 (slower I know but my powder selection didn’t reflect the book data). I’ve been using Sig brass (cost effective and super nice for the price) No recoil what so ever, watching trace and impacts through my scope.

 

[The Durk]

I put the shorty 308 barrel on. Time to play with some subsonics.

Out hunting on the weekend.
I really love AI rifles... When I got my first AICS back in about 2008 it lit a fire in the belly!

Have owned: AICS 1.0, AICS AX Pre-2014, AICS AT, AT and now the AX308.
Seriously sussing out the ASR in 300NM / 6.5PRC, funds permitting.

 

[kocustoms]

Since recently acquiring my new to me Elite Sand AXMC. I have thoroughly enjoyed shooting it and personalizing it to me. this is my new all time favorite bolt action rifle.
thanks to @Huskydriver for pushing me to the AI side !! now if only those bullets would reload themselves.!!

The Dillon is set up for 6.5 right now... Just saying....

 

[jbuck88]

Can someone please help answering a question?

How much lighter is the AXSR then the AXMC? I see that they say its lighter, but I cannot find a apples to apples comparison.

Thanks. I thought I remember one of the upgrades over the axmc was a lighter action. Guess I was mistaken.

 

[kocustoms]

looks like its about 1 pound lighter according to the info @Fixr posted.

Or 1 pound heavier depending on how you read it.

can you use these mags in the pre2014 long action ax? If so can one also buy a long action bolt with .308 bf to shoot short action cartridges (6.5cm/.308)??
