You can indeed.

Yeah, it sounded like it happens from time to time if the dovetails on the trigger bow are oversized and they have to be compressed more than is ideal to stay put on the trigger mech.
I'll just add trigger shoe to the list of shit that breaks on the world's toughest military sniper rifle
And mag latch.....sigh
I've seen alot of "toughest items" broken by marines. Most things aren't marine proof lol.
Would like some help... Bought a 17 AIAX used that has the Gtac conversion on it. I would like a thumb shelf but understand the anarchy offering wont work with the conversion - right? Best way to accomplish?
Appreciate the thoughts

I'm not really an ACOG fan... But that's about as close as I've found to 'Marine-proof'.
Just returned from shooting mine today. GTAC conversion along with sam’s thumb shelf. No issues at all.
Order away

I saw 60 shooters from a battalion that just got back from AFGAHN with broken collimators. Idk how the fuck it happened.
Legend says, that particular trigger shoe adds 6 impacts to your score and adds $800 to your gun's resale value.
yeah they dont ship to Oz. All good.
Accuracy International Competition Trigger Shoe (Curved)
AI : 22-085 - Accuracy International Competition Trigger Shoe (Curved)www.milehighshooting.com
Have the carbon version of that on order for my AWM.I haven't been on this product page for a while so I'm not sure when this note was added. So, we'll see the AI parts in 2026-2027 timeframe then?
I would do unspeakable things for a thumbhole AT in PRC.

or use the search function hahah
I’m familiar with the Trophyhunter/Bugholes conversions, I’d just prefer factory supported/endorsed parts.They have been available for over two years …you just have to know the right people….
It’s only 3 parts and It uses all factory parts..it just open up the bolt face…I would highly recommend not waiting
Barrel, bolt, mag
Just about most of the well known smiths on the Hide can spin up a AI barrel for you. I would prefer mine to be a non AI barrel since I can't stand the wrench flats.
Opening the bolt face for a cartridge that's even higher pressure than 6.5CM just doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies.
But if the brits say it's fine, then you're Ok with it...?
Well, they are the ones warrantying the rifle, so...
We won the war so we wouldn't be controlled by them. Didn't know you were anti American.
Hahaha you think a 6.5 prc is endangering the pressure limits of a AI bolt and action
Not even close
I’d love to see all the objective analysis you’ve performed and data you’ve collected that distinguishes you as an SME on AI action yield strengthHahaha you think a 6.5 prc is endangering the pressure limits of a AI bolt and action
It’s all public info, search the forum , Tom Irwin posted it on here a couple timesI’d love to see all the objective analysis you’ve performed and data you’ve collected that distinguishes you as an SME on AI action yield strength
No heavy bolt lift on a 20” 308 with lots of water in the chamber.I’d love to see all the objective analysis you’ve performed and data you’ve collected that distinguishes you as an SME on AI action yield strength
But it made a 308 into a belted magnum though, which is pretty Saweeet in my opinion.
IIRC AI did show a prototype short action rifle with a 6.5 PRC bolt, or at least mentioned it in a video/comments that it was being tested.
The difference to me, is an aftermarket bolt head versus a factory AI bolt head. Without using a similar high strength steel alloy AND the correct heat treatment, it might not be safe. Even if you took a factory 308 bolt head and machined material away so it could shoot 6.5 PRC, that doesn’t mean it’s safe.

Of course AI is going to say that, you think AI is going to take liability for other peoples work? And I was talking about a post with the actual psi number, I’ve been shooting mine as well as many others with 0 issues for over a year… if you don’t want to do it that’s fine I was just under the impression you wanted to do the same so I was going to give you some contact info like I’ve done numerous times to others looking to do the short mag conversion.. of course I don’t shoot 6.5 prc I shoot the Lords Caliber ..7 SAUM

Cherry-picked
, yeah, but even as my cherry-picked groups go, it’s good for me (dislike recoil). I like this AXSA (in god’s color of course you heathens). No rifle pics as the scope is so high I would be mocked mercilessly lol. What can I say…I like my head to be straight up and I don’t shoot prone.
That looks like the groups I just shot with my ax308. Mine was with m118lr and my attempt to clone it. First pic is clone and I pulled one left as I coughed when taking up the first stage on the trigger and pulled right through.View attachment 7876113

Lol you drew a dick with the second group
So I got drunk tonight and finally made some AT-X chassis weights fit an AT.
You do realise that the short action AI was made with a 3 lug bolt right , and later they used the same size dia bolt and just put another row of shorter lenght lugs on the bolt head to enable the action to use 300WM & 338LM rounds, back in the old days .
And the newr AX/AT short action uses this bolt head with a smaller dia firing pin .
So if it can take the beating from a 300WM or 338LM , I think it MAY be able to hand a little 6.5 PRC , quite easily , also they use to run the std 3 lug AW rifle with a over pressure 308 ammo , that was 1/2 way between the 308win & 300WM in performance , Lapua HPS .

They have mag bolt face short action bolts some where but are not selling them yet. They do have prc rifles just not offering them. I don’t think the caliber matters. There is a max pressure standard so doesn’t matter if it’s 65,000 psi from a 223 or 338 it’s still 65,000psi.
