Accuracy International Picture Thread

So it’s cold outside, the shed is all looked up, I’m afraid of the dark and various other excuses for me not going out and checking myself but can anyone confirm or deny if AX and AXMC barrels are interchangeable between actions?
Picked up the AXMC very recently with a short action 308 bolt kit. So I’m wondering if my AX 6.5 barrel will work with it. Meh if not but it would be handy to know.
Failing an answer I’ll check tomorrow lol.

No it won’t

Large vs small tenons

AX will fit AT/AX
AXMC will fit AXSR/AXMC
 
Yeah cheers. I thought that would be the case but just hadn’t checked.
They make 6.5 for the AXMC. I’ve been waiting on a 2018 profile one for mine. Picked one up here from a member as well for mine.

The 6.5 barrels for AX/AT are a dime a dozen in the px here. AXMC in the win tac are harder to come by

Your AXMC barreled are M30 thread pitch
Your AX barrels are M27 thread pitch

What happened to your foam on your AX comb? Hoptic makes one that was made for that gun. Looks wet cleaner and fits like a glove. It’s called a saddle blanket: see below

I had emailed Tony at MK Machining @Tyler Kemp about a magazine extension for the AXSR 308 pattern magazines. I'm not entirely sure if the magazine is capable of accepting an extension, but I'm going to be sending mag in for a prototype as soon as I hear back from Tony for the go-ahead.

Just curious how many would be interested in an extension for the AXSR 308 mags. I would like a +4 but would be satisfied with a +2.

That’s a strange looking tripod and head.
 
HOW HAVE I NOT KNOWN ABOUT THIS PRODUCT?!

I have one in the mail now.
Just be sure to get the sensitivity right or it will drive you a little batty. Closing the bolt can cause it to trigger the radar if you have the sensitivity to high. Which can be a pain when you're in prone and behind your scope and now you have to "reset" the radar.

What setting do you have yours at? I had mine at the highest setting and just about any kind of movement will set it off.
 
What’s the brand of that head? Never seen that one.
It’s not this exact one but pretty much the same thing.

 
Some more blue magic today. Got a couple of new mags from @Scott Seigmund and my AT-X hasn't had a single hiccup feeding :)

Nice day today, a bit breezy though.. Still can't beat another day at the range!

This has about 50 rounds though it now, impressive groups with a basic loading of 140 ELDM and H4350.

What’s your load for that. I just started shooting some 140 ELDM’s as well. Using 41.5 H4350 just finished settling in the barrel so gonna see how it groups now but so far it’s running right at 2750.
 
Just picked out of a hat, maybe some input from other's here...

41 grains of H4350 and CCI 200 primers

I was trying to duplicate factory loadings.

Random question.... im already in bed and don't want to get my calipers out. What's hight over bore on an AX with a 1.5 spurh? Going shooting tomorrow and would like to plug that into the kestrel
 
@samb300

Bad ass, that's what I've been waiting for. Any idea when we can buy one here in the US?
I will follow up with Christian in Norway, I’ll see where he’s at with the production version buttstock. @BLKWLFK9 will be getting his buttstock to test soon.

Still waiting on the AT/AX compatible grip panels as well, sorry for the delay.
 
Inquiring mind wants to know how many AI shooters here have changed their barrel using the trademarked Bynum Sledge and Cressent method?
Probably not many. All the newer Gen rifles with Quick Loc can swap barrels by hand without tools, and not too many guys are shooting 10,000 rounds of 308 a year with their AWs like Jacob does.
 
What are my mag options for the AT, besides the AT mags from MH?

And a bit of a small update; I ended up going a different direction scope wise over the NF 7-35…

AW mags (not AX unless it’s an AT-X).

There’s not really much point in trying to make anything else work. The rifle is literally designed with AW mags.
