Gunna debut this specimen on the 25th? I hear there will be another AI in S3.
25th of June?? FFUUUUUUUUUUCCKKK nah. Its been 100 deg 2 days this week already. lol. Im done beating myself up in the heat, homey. IDK what match is on the 25th anyway. Real talk, it will probably be Sept before i shoot another match. It is going to be some real moons aligning for me to shoot above 85deg from now on. I honestly can't take heat like i use to. Cold, im good to go, but heat has fucked me for the past 2 years. What match is it?

No shit man. .. Even up here in wnc it was 93 or 94 yesterday, like 100% humidity. I grew up in Florida but been here so long if it hits 85 I wilt like a flower.

Bro, it takes all the fun out of it when you can't see straight, tunnel vision, migraine, nausea, etc. I use to be able to stay out in any type heat but not anymore. As of 2 years ago, i have to pick and choose my days to be outside during our summers. Sucks getting older and soft.

Same. I work outside in the heat all day. I'm shooting one last match this month and then will be done until it starts to get cooler out. Had one guy this past weekend get heat exhaustion at the match. He ended up finishing the day and won. But it's too damn hot for me. I'll just go practice in the mean time

1 day at Paul's. He's got a mover now which spices up life a bit.

Weather will break, even today it only hit 91 when we were supposed to be 101. Either way my rule is 1 bottle of water per stage minimum, I don't allow myself to move on until it's done. Also with his newly built covers for ROs and shooters it's been bearable. I can at least tolerate it for 1 days...2 days is another story.

Question.. I received my AXSA today. And I notice on the barrel it reads 308 1-10. Does it mean it’s a 1:10 twist? Though not a problem at all if it is. Is just that I was anticipating it be 1:12 as advertised. Btw, this rifle is sexy asf! Thanks to this great thread. With all the bad influences and peer pressure that landed me a new 26” .308 ES AXSA. No regrets at all! Thanks!

AT LW .308 barrels are 1:12. AX Bartlien .308 Barrels are 1:10. Yes yours is a 1:10.

Hydrate too
Hydrating is for the weak and talentless.

Amateur... I just go 'til I pass out now & wait for that ice cold silver bullet to bring me back around.

Just noticed that there are some new AWs coming available soon.


Just incase anyone wants to go old school AI.
 
I would imagine they are under contract for spares and repairs of the thousands of older systems still in use so it's probably a lot easier to screw and glue a few actions together from existing stock, than engineering a new bolt and magazine systems. I was lucky enough to visit factory and there's a lot going on and not exactly 100s of staff.

That said I would rather they concentrate on a magnum bolt face for the short actions than 223, at least i could get one out of the UK.
 
The allure to an AW over an AT or AWM over axmc/asr is the nostalgia of it being an older rifle from a different time, that was ahead of its time. And the simple fact that they don't make them anymore. I would buy an old AW in a quick second for the right price. I ain't buying a "new AW" in AT skins over an AT. It's just an AT without QC at that point.
 
If I could find some spare skins for my old AW's, I'd do a little rattle canning. Think I'd choose pumpkin color in honor of ski.

He really has a love/hate relationship for AI.
