How long do you imagine it'll be before you do another run of them?Long story short: if you’re willing to wait, I’ll be making more of these at some point, possibly by partnering with a known manufacturer. If not, your best bet is the B&T spigot mount with pic rail, although there may be some wiggle.

For what its worth, I used the B&T spigot for several years on my AT. I switched this year a RRS dovetail mount on my Atlas because the wiggle just annoyed me. I could never get my bipod to stay level. There was enough side to side wobble that even when the cant in the bipod was stiff the spigot wiggled like was mentioned.For those that have a spigot rail, what brand are you using and do you like it? I'd like to get a spigot picatinny rail that I can mount my Harris to and I'm just looking for the best option.
Sounds like I'll wait for him to do another run of the spigot mounts done right.For what its worth, I used the B&T spigot for several years on my AT.

I'm extremely jealous right now.Found a samB spigot. Buddy had one all along.
Guys I need some help. I’m at the range and sighting in my AIAX with a new 6.5 factory AI barrel from Euro. It has a APA little on it and it’s tight.
After 10rds the cases started not ejecting when I ran the bolt. Every time it happened. The brass is pictured below with the primer sticking waaaaay out.
This is brand new factory Ammo from MHS and it is happening with the hornady 6.5 140ELD Match and the 147 ELd Match.
Ideas, thoughts?
Cancel the alarm. I’m fucked up I figured it out. I contacted my son who took it out and he put a .308 barrel on it and didn’t tell me because I have a bunch of .308 ammo and I wouldn’t know some was missing.
All is well in the hood now. Time to paint the .308 barrel a different color
Did he have more than one, or actually take the mount off because he didn't use it?Found a samB spigot. Buddy had one all along.

I'm in the process of ordering an AI and I was getting worried. That's quite an ending to this saga.Cancel the alarm. I’m fucked up I figured it out.

It came on an AT chassis he purchased here for his trainer. He must use an AI spigot on his AT, as he wanted my spigot block for the trainer.Did he have more than one, or actually take the mount off because he didn't use it?

I'll await his next round of them, looks good.
Badass, dude. Looks great ?
Looks like the “old” AX50 action.
168 FGMM is running well in mine. Trying the 175’s next.
I have since successfully changed the combo on the safe. He did tell me he was going shooting with his buddies but not with my AI AX.
The 6.5 seemed to ping pong down the barrel and I am concerned the rifling may be damaged, but at least it didn't blow up in my face. What keyed me off was that I would get one hit on paper the next would be in the dirt. Then a solid look at the casings, and then what would cause all of it, silly stopping and taking the time to figure out what is wrong, and taking the steps to fix it.
Tip of the hat to AI for building a stout firearm that can shoot, on my own accord, the wrong caliber and still function. DO NOT do it, just saying that I dogged a bullet and no pun intended there. Literally I did just that.
It shot fantastic with the correct .308 in it still shooting sub Moa, but I don't have the pic to prove it as I was in a rush to get back home to the spousal unit and her honeydo list. I go back on duty tomorrow so I cant shoot again for a bit, but I think I figured it out. The brass from the 10rds has already made it into the trash and will never be reloaded or used again.
Im thinking good karma helped me out on this one and that AI builds a good rifle, but take this gentlemen, be careful. Double check your gear and rifle each time.
Mine shoots both VERY VERY well.168 FGMM is running well in mine. Trying the 175’s next.
AIAT, 12 twist bbl, do these barrels favor any particular bullet/load in factory form?
Just got my new AI transit case for folded rifle.
It takes a folded AXMC with up to 27" barrel with brake and with room for a complete caliber conversion kit, including 27" barrel, bolt, magazine well insert and 4 extra magazines.
Other cuts are for: Suppressor, sling, 4 magazines, rear hand support, butt spacers and screws, honeycomb flash killer and the large section is for the original AI cleaning kit which comes as a tool roll.

Happens to the best of us, once shot a .270 through my 30-06 cause there were a couple .270 rounds in the box of 30-06 that got mixed in. It was like a pop and no kick, i checked the brass and sure enough it was labeled .270. Solved it by selling the wife's .270 and getting rid of everything .270 she now has a 6.5.
