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.

 

[SkyScrapin]

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?

 

[Btrain]

Butt Pad... Need to look to state others

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.

They don't have a full-blown schematic, but you can probably find what you need there.

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).

Nice! Can we get more pictures?

 

[Zane777]

Sure thing sir. Will take more pictures today.

 

[Zane777]

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

 

[RS14]

I don’t believe you that it is that slick. Send it to me so I know for sure. Lol

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!

That is an axsr......

 

[JB.IC]

That is an axsr......

Is it? Forend looks different than mine. Buttstock LOP adjustment too.

 

[AXMC]

While it has many similar features , I believe it is a separate model....and he just compared the feel to an axsr....

 

[Krob95]

More to come.....

The gold and elite sand (put some respek on it) look sick together

 

[Huskydriver]

That's the version of the axsr sold in the uk/Canada I believe

 

[Zane777]

This is AX Mark3 not AXSR. Very similar but not the same

Will do. Just sent AXSR to Cerokate… will send you pictures when I get it back.

 

[Zane777]

Here are the pictures for AXSR and AX MK3.

 

[Huskydriver]

I stand corrected

 

[AXMC]

That's the version of the axsr sold in the uk

@tomirwin or @Scott Seigmund , can you weigh in ? Is it just the AXSR action in a different chassis, or have there been tweaks to the action too?
Thanks

 

[Zane777]

From the information that I gathered, mk3 has different bolt than AXSR… they are not interchangeable.

 

[JB.IC]

Dang and it says they improved upon the AXSR bolt for the mk3. Smdh

 

[Krob95]

Only sold in the UK from my understanding

 

[JB.IC]

I wonder what the max barrel weight the AXSR action can handle?

I was thinking about doing a 338LM AI with a 32 or 34” barrel.

 

[AXMC]

I bet you'd be fine...you have lots of tennon length and diameter to work with....

 

[JB.IC]

the action seems pretty thin. I have zero idea about what it can structurally support.

 

[White Mamba]

I just put a 34" lapua improved on mine

 

[JB.IC]

Nice. What contour did you use?

Mind sharing the load(s) you’re using?

 

[White Mamba]

I dont rember the contour, sorry
Fireforming right now at 96 gr h1000.
96gr fireform is a very accurate load across multiple rifles

 

[hafejd30]

Just when you thought the AXSR was the thing to have here comes the MKIII wet dream…..how’s a poor supposed to ever keep up!

Well your in the us so relax you can't have one

You know it’s coming eventually!

 

[NoLegs24]

This 2020? Y'all still crying about this Mk3 vs AXSR?

 

[Krob95]

You know it’s coming eventually!

Hahahahahaahahahahahahayeahfuckinrighthahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaha

 

[Krob95]

Here she is in all her new glory

 

[JB.IC]

I’m a fan of the patch. That is the way

Glad to see you came to your senses and pale browned your barrel

Hi,

Bold move on the barrel... I respect that.

Sincerely,
