If I wasn’t picking up a killer deal on a BRA barrel, brass, and a die, I’d be all over this for a BR barrel lol
The prototype is done and aluminum is being cut for final fitment. Then to anodizing. Hang on a bit longer
Not yet, gotta price out material and machine time
After just getting my 1st AI I installed the RRS plate on it. I really hated the look and the feel of it, I almost put the stock plastic one back on. Then I saw the mod mod they did to the Area 419 one I had to do it myself. I just got it done last night. It was a easy job, only took a half hour to mod it. Then extra time to hit it with duracoat
You can kinda see in this top pic on the top inside where I had to remove some material to get it to sit better on the gun.

I couldn't get it to sit completely flush but I think it looks good. Sure looks better and feels better than the RRS one.

If the serrations are not too deep it will be fine. Also you can leave more material on the front if you are planning on doing the serrations.
OK. quick survey, so haw many of you guys run AI's with the windage caps installed? I have never used them, I get rid of them first thing. So these protectors were designed to fit the ATCR sans windage cap. am I in the minority? I feel a redesign coming on lol
Why would A419 drop their price if everyone is buying a useless eyesore of a niche product for $225 just to DIY chop it to something worth MAYBE $100?
A lot of guys have apparently already asked them to make a shorty and they said that they didn’t want to because it’s already on the market. So fuck em. Yea they make great stuff, no one negates that. But they can sit back and watch others answer hungry consumers. Could have easily just modified their current design and covered both bases. ...but nooooo.
But yea, you’d think they’d see the value in offering options for this platform....like they offer other footprints.
I hold for wind so the windage cap is ON once I've sighted in. Moving with the gun and no w cap could cause some frustration on the line. JMHO
So hats off to @WhereNow&How recommending the luna elir3 for a long range illuminator.....no moon only starlight engaging ipsc steel with a pvs27-30 at 1k was too easy and rediculously clear from standing off the tripod....and shout out to @Lowdown3 for quick and awesome purchase.
The luna would easily light it up to 1250-1500 I think no issue maybe father if we had time to keep backing up past 1k.
No through scope pics because it was caf out there last night and everyone was shaking too bad to get clear pics haha
But the results are in 4-5 of the body shots were at 1k. Headshots were from closer

Is there anything more fun than shooting at night.....GOD bless America
Maybe they put you on ignore or.... afraid you'll ask for a commision on 'their' new design. 
I sent photos and my opinion to Area419, they have read them... No reply, standard.
Capitalism at work. Imagine that.Awesome.
Glad to hear more are stepping up to give consumers options.
I love Area 419 stuff. I even have their Zero Press. Yeah I spent too much on something I knew I was going to cut down. But I can cut up the section that I am not using and use the rail on another gun. So not a total waste.
Dialing the wind zeros it out then your lead hold is the same both directions.
I misunderstood what he wrote. Please disregard.
I thought he was saying he dialed for movers.
The only time I dial for wind is when I shoot movers so it’s the same hold both ways As stated above
only pic I grabbed of the AX today at K&M
Hello my Hide Brothers. Question, are Pre 2014 AX forend rails the same as Post rails? I have an AX 13" forend on my AXMC but it has a 20 MOA rail. Looking for a 30 MOA rail to match the AXMC action rail. Only 13" 30 MOA rail I see at Milehigh says **Pre 2014**. Will it work on the AXMC? Thanks for your time in advance.
Got my 6BRA barrel last night. Came with an ax mag with the HRD kit. Had three dummy rounds from my old 6BR, feeds smooth as butter. The blue and burnt scarlet on the barrel pair extremely well with the elite sand rifle and pale brown mag 
Actually, the mounting hole spacing is the same. The screws are different though (flat heads for pre 2014 and conical heads for a flush fit, post 2014....but you can buy post 2014 replacements)....I'm not sure on rail lengths matching up though. You might want to call mile high and have them measure for you (not only total length, but also height where it matches up with the action rail).
I wonder if the pre 14's came two different ways? My post 14 is a (2) hole pattern. My old pre 14 had a 6 or 8 hole pattern I believe.
I think he's talking the top rail that mounts to the handguard. The handguard itself though you're completely right...2 screws on post 14 and 8 or 10 (can't remember, it's been a while) on pre '14 securing it to the chassis body.
Correct AXMC, talking about the rail that mounts to the handguard. Thanks for the help guys. I'll call Milehigh tomorrow.
No words man to describe how awesome that looks but here goes ...that’s just badass. Nice
Yeah. It does and I love the look in the AT-X. I have an AXMC but I will be contemplating the AT-X and I wish they offered that paint scheme. That would make it an instant buy....hint..hint
180 rounds down the pipe and I couldn't be happier with the performance:
Any pics of elite sand compared to other colors especially sage green? Is it closer to green than brown? Found a decent deal on a axmc and wanted to see if I would need to krylon it. Thanks
Elite sand is green. With a tint of tan.
AI on the tripod is elite sand.
AI chassis is sage green.

Scientifically Elite Sand is the second most accurate color after Dark Earth, just so you know.
Scientifically the guy above me is wrong. All the well respected folks in the science community agree that elite sand is the bestest and most accurate color.
You might be right, I have an Elite Sand .308 barrel and I didn't notice any drop in performance when I put it on.
Exactly. Both of my elite sand barrels in my elite sand AI have been hammers. The color is the most important part of accuracy. Turned me from a 1.5moa shooter to a 1/2moa shooter over night. It’s incredible lol
