That's how I do it. Tan cerakote and rattle can darks over it. If I want to change it, I wipe the rattle can off with acetone and start over. The cerakote never gets touched
Nice looking stick, at first glance I thought it was an AT-X
What optics mount is that?
good luck getting DE parts from AI. All the have is pale brown and whatever, just no dark earth!
Yes sir, Custom Gun Coatings did a great job putting a red flectarn together for me awhile back.
Dumb question. AX mags. Feeds 308 fine. 6.5cm and 6CM, not so much. Load five in a mag, first one feeds no issues. Second one, the bolt skips over it. I drop the mag or finger fuck it around while in the rifle, it’ll feed the second round and subsequent rounds fine. Feed lips need tweaked or what? It’s a factory 6CM AXSA.
All mags do it?
I bought a AW mag used that doesn’t feed 100 percent and i compared it to my other mags and the lips are a hair off.
Shooting 6.5cm*

I would contact MIle High
That should’nt be an issue with factory offerings or mags.
I killed 3 barrels of 6creed without an issue through my AX
I’ll run it down there in the next few days. Kinda annoying because I usually run 5 and then another 5 as it gives me a false sense of making it last. Running all 10, no issues. It’s annoying lol
Just have one mag as I’m a poor. I’m gonna pick up another probably though when I go down there
I almost guarantee I know what the issue is. You need to remove the spring and follower and push a socket down in the mag sideways. The mag body is too tight and the rounds don't stack quite right. Don't mess with the feed lips, I can almost guarantee they are fine. I had a mag do it that shipped with my rifle and I sent it back to AI a few times and they sent me a new mag each time but they kept doing it. I spent some time with mags I knew worked and studying the differences and finally figured it out. Worked great ever since.
I really hate living inside of city boundaries and having this in my backyard...
@tevan0707 need to put in those sounds proof walls they put up on interstates within city limits...then shoot suppressed
Finally able to post a picture here rather than just lurking around like a fucking creep!
Thanks a lot @samb300!
Thanks a lot @samb300!
Shot the 6BR with DOMINUS today, I’ll never shoot 6BR braked again.
Made a mistake on over torquing the cheek rest bolt. Pulled the helicoil out. It's an M5x0.8 if anybody is wondering, chased it with an STI tap, new helicoil, back in business.
Broke 1600 rounds on the barrel today, zero issues
I’ve ran my HRD’s for 3yrs through 2 dasher barrels, 2 BRA barrels, well over 8000rds without a single issue
Did i hear right when lowlight had the ai crew on his youtube that they said there was 223 or 224 calibers on the way? Or is my mind wanting something thats not happening again.
They’ve been sayin a 223 for 8yrs
But yes on the video he said “it’s coming”
AT MPA 6.5cm 24" Proof CF
AX 260Rem 26" LW
I cut an Area419 rail in half for my AX last night, the lowest profile fore end hand grip plate, while still being wide and having the aggressive edges for traction... This feels like a good combo.
Area419 Arcalock rail mod, cut in half. Lower profile than the RRS, wider and flatter than the factory plastic grip, more stable than nothing... So far, this is my pick of the bunch.
Returned home from deployment.
AXSR in 338LM. Will be rechambering it to 33XC. Weighs in at 19.6lbs. I’m vastly surprised at how well the trigger feels for 2.25lb pull. I had to measure it a few times because I didn’t believe how well it felt.

Welcome home from your deployment and thank you for your service.
You beat me to it. I bought one planning to do the same exact thing. The only thing slowing me down is the fact that the rail wasn't machined enough and doesn't seat fully as I'm sure you can tell by the 1/8" gap near the back. Really pisses me off as I will have to machine and dremel a bit to get a seamless interface. Did you chuck it up in a mill to clean up the face after the chop? Looks gorgeous by the way.
Ducked up 100rd of 6CM due to insufficient drying before loading. Had to burn them up today. It was crazy seeing the large variations in speed at 1k. Bright side it was 65 degrees out with minimal wind. Also found that I’m at 5.9mil at 1k with 109gr hybrids at 3070fps vs 7.7mils with my 6.5cm and 140 hybrids at 2800
You're right, it doesn't sit very well at the action end... There is quite a gap like you said.
To be honest; I threw it in the vice, eyeballed it, marked with a sharpie then used a hacksaw. Fine cut off grinding wheel on the Dremel to snip the corners back then a couple of the varying grit sanding wheels to smooth it off and radius the edges. I don't own a mill or band saw. It's definitely not perfect but it'll get beaten up on rocks / barricades / etc. anyway so not overly concerned.
This was never meant to be perfect (as you can see by the sharpie camouflage
), it's a team gun that gets used a lot.I think you should do it, seems to be a good end product.
It would be great if A419, or anyone for that matter, would just release one so we don’t have to drop $225 just to hack it into something that should cost $125.
I asked them about doing a short version and was pretty much told there wasn't demand and that I should be excited about the long version. I waited till they went on sale and said f'it , I'm going to hack saw the thing. RRS makes one cheap but looks like a brick bolted on the thing and you lose the ergonomic angle for shooting offhand. Hopefully I can get around to cutting and fitting in the next couple weeks.
That’s funny, because I would think there would be more demand for a shorter version, like what RRS offers, than the long awkward angle full length rail that Area419 offers
I had a quick chat about it on messenger with them back in March last year, the discussion was along the lines of "We are happy with this rail. There is another short rail already available. This rail is made for law enforcement before competition."
Area419 make some of the most refined aftermarket products currently available IMHO. I use a bit of their gear and promote it as often as possible because it's great.
They have already done 95% of the work on this rail, shorten it down, radius it, production would require less in terms of raw materials and machine time, while likely leading to more sales.
Sent them these photos, so here's hoping they come to the table.

What? It to be machined into the AX’s chassis and sold to the public rather than just LE for no reason whatsoever?
Yup. I guess there isn’t demand for it but rather there’s demand for a massive detachable spear.

@R.Walters
@Scott Seigmund
Can vets please get access to the LE axmc
Pleaaasssseeeeeeeeeeeeee?
We don’t even want it at a discount. Let LE have their discount or whatever. We just want the design.
Hell, my brother is LE and has no interest in shooting LR. Let me buy the one the inventory gods put aside for his boot ass.

Go lick some balls with the others crying for Mil discounts..... LOL
Something is already in the works... just not with those guys...
