I tried running a carbon barrel with PRS style course of fire and it didn’t perform well at all. I don’t readily remember how bad it was but it was enough for me to say never again.

But if it works for other then so be it.

I’m curious how Bartlein carbon barrels are. I believe they make the steel sleeve thicker but I’m not sure.

I have had a few Proof CF barrels. They all have shot great but the one I chambered in 338 LM AI showed severe fire cracking long before my heavy Bartlein. My best guess is due to more barrel whip? I am not a engineer, hopefully someone much smarter can chime in 😂

When that barrel is toast it would be interesting to cut in half. My gut says the inside layers of carbon will be completely delaminated but if it's stacking wtf cares.

Most of the highest temp rated resins I'm aware of start to reach tg around 600 f.

The longest string I have had was 60 rounds in 45 minutes. Maybe 30 minutes. Been a few months. Either way, no idea what temp that is.

Unique to SBRs running suppressors.. the can gets insanely hot without much effort. Not sure it’s avoidable with majority of powders not designed to be burnt in such a short tube. A good can cover does a great job mitigating mirage.

Downside to Carbon.. seems to insulate heat longer than a traditional non-CF barrel.

That's why I really just prefer steel barrels for those types of applications. Especially when it's in an already heavy gun and the barrel is hidden by a handguard anyway.

No doubt. This was a bit of an experiment for me. Idea being it could be yanked out of a chassis an thrown into a hunting stock.

I haven't weighed this system, but it's most definitely not light. I'd say 14-15lbs with S&B, AXSR chassis, Raptar, TBAC and bipod. The carbon barrel probably didn't drop it a half lb, but Frank Green was upfront and entertained my shenanigans anyways.

It's a handy system tho. Repeating my results with the ASR.

I would like some advice.... New to the AI game - Picked up a AIAX SA / Sage green from the PX

Is there a parts schematic or reference I can find somewhere? Looked but came up empty. Im considering replacing a couple of small items and it would be very handy. Thoughts?

Thank you

Which parts specifically are you looking to replace?

Well…..short of trying to find my old paper manual that came with the rifle I’m not sure if there is one online somewhere. However your two main vendors for AI’s are going to be MileHigh and EuroOptoc. You can search their sites for “accessories” and find a lot of the stuff like but pads, rails, barrels, triggers, and various other small parts.

Your best bet is generally to call Mile High Shooting, or email AINA directly with specific parts requests. They will help you out, get part numbers, etc, but you can only really get replacement parts from Mile High (unless it's a warranty issue direct through AINA).

Mark3 impressed me a lot. The bolt is so slick compared to the AXSR and ATx.

Nice! Do you have an AXSR bolt you can put it side by side with? From what I hear the AXSR is slicker/easier to cock than the AXSA/AT...so i'd be interested to see what they changed to improve it again.
Thanks!
