I have a question for all of the AXMC shooters out there. Who are some of the better gunsmiths that can spin up a barrel for me. I always went to Mr. Gradous for my AT but unfortunately that is no longer an option.

I want to spin up a barrel using the new Bartlein material in a heavy contour. Not sure who can do that.
Give Red Beard Gunworks a call. They're in Portland, TX just outside of Corpus Christi.

Took my son to the range today... He's absolutely shooting better now sporting that new AI cap!

Sand pit, 200 yards... Nice day for a change.

Damn good for his first try on the 338 NM, that cap did it for sure!

Did a giraffe set the eye relief on those scopes? I swear I've never seen optics so far forward before! lol my neck has a crik in it just from looking... Also, are you actively adopting? I am up for adoption... I will be a good son 😂
 
I must be long necked! They are set at the moment for bench shooting. Easy to move if need be.

If you're near by and have some land where we can stretch our legs, I'd consider another son :)

New meaning to “trunk full a guns”. I’m curious as to why you have so many? 😂

Two win mags? Why not just swap barrels? And “because I can” if absolutely what I would say haha. I figured I’d get one large frame and a golf bag of barrels.
 
300 WM, one is a AXMC and the other is a AXSR and different colors!

You might want to take a look at Hawk Hill barrels. https://www.hawkhillcustom.com/
Call them and talk with a Shawn. Good guy and a great barrel maker.

Please enlighten me. I heard that AI barrel used to be made by CHF. Is this still the way they create their barrel or have they switch to something else? And if they did, was there any noticeable increase in precision?
 
Based on what they sent me, yes.

I would have liked some of the other colors I've seen... nolegs24 got 2 different colors I believe.


Is AINA making hats again? I sent them an email about a month ago and they just said that they were considering it. I ended up buying a patch online and had it sewn on. I would rather have a factory hat. thanks
 
There is a hat on eBay for 150GBP + shipping!
I saw that myself but I am not that desperate.

Everyone talks about how HK never listens to their customers but AI takes the cake. They need to buy a vowel OR not go after people for producing a fucking hat. I love their equipment but their CS leaves a lot to be desired

True, but we aren’t their target demographic man. They let their distributors handle the CS side, which makes sense when you take a step back and see it from their side. Gov contracts are best ways to make it rain.

Maybe not but when they don't win a solicitation, who do they rely on to get a return on their investment? It isn't like we are asking for a new type of rifle. All we want is a few lousy hats and shirts AND we are willing to pay for them. They can outsource the whole deal and just capture the net proceeds.

You spend thousands of dollars on a product because you are proud AND it is also advertising!! In the grand scheme of things...especially an international company, this should be a no brainer.

You guys are right and I agree, I’m just trying to look at it from the other side. It’s also AI, they kind of don’t need merch advertising at this point. That said, everyone loves swag from the brands they spend money on, especially when it’s more of a rarity. Even if they had a closed order system, where you’d have to submit proof of ownership in order to make one merch purchase per year, it would be cool to see.
