Just got my AI AT and AI action rail. The screws AI provided do not all look the same. Two are fine and two are like pot metal and began stripping under only light finger tightening (using a hex bit for a driver - not an Allen key) . The package contained two smoothly finished screws and two that are rough looking - almost like they’ve been used in other rifles.

Does anyone know the screw spec so I can drive 30 miles to fastenal and buy screws for my brand new $4500 rifle?
Goddamn that’s brutal. Really sorry to hear that.
 
@Eurodriver i believe they are M4 cap screws. It’s easy enough to measure (in metric) with a set of calipers to get the correct length.

You’ll probably want to call up Mile High or AINA to get a replacement anyway, it’s likely whatever you get locally will be black oxide and prone to rust over time.

More photos from Guardian GTI 2021 of me and my team mate both shooting AIs. Mine is in @samb300 AO chassis and my team mate is rocking a stock AX

What boots is your boy wearing with those vibram soles?
I honestly have no
Idea. I believe he has said they are roofing boots in the past. Here is another pic showing them more.

Smart man!

Any shooters lose their rigs over that roof edge?
Not that I’m aware of. But lots of brass went over.

They took it away from him...;)
I almost didn’t post that photo for that reason. On some of the stages that did not have a pistol element the ROs asked for us to bag our pistol to feel safer. So that’s what you see here.

However any stage with pistol before rifle you would have to remove mag show clear and dump it in a bucket before moving to rifle.

Ultimately it makes for photos that I’m not a fan of. But I understand Saftey first. And although I’m confident in my weapon manipulation skills and my holster. I wouldn’t be in all be ones I saw at the match.

If you look a little closer you can see I still have a chamber flag in too. I forget why we had to leave it during the movement on that stage. But some we started bag in bolt back. Some where mag out no chamber flag. Some where mag out chamber flag in. Just all depended on the RO and physical side of the stage.

TriggerCam on a NF ATACR at 25x at 1,000yds. AXMC in 300PRC shooting a 2/3rds IPSC using a factory Hornady 225gr ELDM. I didn't trust AB solution and dialed down 0.2mils, which was the 1st hit low right you can see when the plate recoils from the 2nd hit. My fault on the elevation call as it was a good 40 degrees colder today.

If you look at a larger version of the video on YT, just as it starts you can see (left side of video) a guy breaking a 4" clay on the back berm at 1,035yds with his 338L.

I'll dial it back to 15-20x the next range session so I can get some good trace videos.



Asked my shooting buddy to get an action shot of me and of course, he caught the guy photobombing us with his arse.

Another great day with the Dark Earth Master Race. 12-15 gusting to 25mph made for some fun wind practice. My Buddy with the Cadex has just started shooting this year and today he realized why 168smk are not the ideal 308 bullet. He was holding 3.8-4.2 mils at 630 yards and I was holding 1.8-2.2 mils with the 155 Scenar.

At least your sage green tiny dick erected to 45 degree , my AXMC still stay flat
I’m sorry, but are you suggesting it’s better to be flat than to be erect? I would beg to differ 😂😂
Is that a spuhr Rap pic rail on your scope? If so, what’s the height or model # is that if you don’t mind I’m asking?
They’re actually Hawkins heavy tactical rings and they include the driving board. This particular set is 1.15” IIRC which I definitely wouldn’t recommend for any AI platform (too low), but they do make them in 1.5” height as well.
