Accuracy International Picture Thread

[Rhed]

Weekend is here. Figured I take some photos and contribute to this thread. I guess this makes it to the AI club? I also got a few things to install that I purchase during the wait time of delivery. Hopefully to install the TT on Spuhr mount today also. I’m deciding if I should run my FP Raptar S on this rifle too. Right now it’s on my gas gun (MR556). Well it was on there, already took it off. I have one of those adjustable bag riders on the way too. Oh btw, does anyone put a torque value on the barrel after tightening besides the clamping screw? I’m thinking of putting a 2lbs over hand tight just to be consistent. I’ll post what torque I come up with.

I just screw it on to where it stops, and then torque my grub screw to 49in/lb and shoot it. The zero is repeatable and I have yet to have an issue in several thousand rounds/ several hundred barrel swaps.

I'm only selling the at chassis parts....my axmc? Nah.... From my cold dead hands... Unless you got the money

 

[VSP968]

I ordered one straight away too - look great.

Hey lads - does anyone have any pics of an AX with a thumbhole rear?

Here’s a thumbhole on an AX AICS; same principle.

All you need is a a standard hinged butt skeleton and all the plastic pieces. You’ll also be changing from a right folder to a left folder, so you’ll have to disassemble, drill and tap the chassis for the male portion of the latch mechanism when it folds to the left.

Ooooooo I see..... I'm curious on a price... pm me pal

 

[Rhed]

Yea.. I already contemplating AX/AO chassis system. And I haven’t even shot the thing yet.

 

[RS14]

Yea.. I already contemplating AX/AO chassis system. And I haven’t even shot the thing yet.

I ordered my AO then bought my AI.

 

[J-Ham]

I like your style... Same.

 

[BuLLet]

Yea.. I already contemplating AX/AO chassis system. And I haven’t even shot the thing yet.

Do that on your second AI, you'll really be a club member then

 

[Krob95]

do it man, you'll be glad you did

Who invited the guy on the end with a brake lol.... Always gotta be one...

That’s not even a AI

 

[MOUNTIC]

Another angle.

Great shooting fellas! @tnester1 @MACHTECH @SkyScrapin @lethalsquirts @Glassaholic

 

[Krob95]

Maybe I need a big boy AI so I can go out there with y'all

 

[Rhed]

do it man, you'll be glad you did

Man.. That anodized TT though.. dope!

 

[Krob95]

Man.. That anodized TT though.. dope!

Thanks man, as soon as I saw it in person against the elite sand I had to have it. It looks awesome and as much as I loved my ZCO, I'm glad to have this TT.

 

[White Mamba]

Shooting a match with my Ai300norma mag right now.
Handguard bolts just sheared off. No longer shooting my AI 300 norma mag

 

[ForgeValley]

Wow! How much weight do you have on the rail?

@reubenski is about to have a field day with this lol

#milspechardwaretho

It just needs a shim probably

 

[BCX]

Dam ZCO turrets going down, now AXSR handguard bolts shearing, the sky is falling

 

[deersniper]

Like false claims of Nightforce “failures”

Any ZCO or AI problem is user error

 

[BCX]

Anything can fail eventually

I want to look through the Hendsholt on the 3rd AXSR...

 

[White Mamba]

Wow! How much weight do you have on the rail?

Roughly 3.5 lbs.
Definitely not much more than my pvs 30 and lr light

 

[BCX]

Could the bolts have been over torqued and fractured?

 

[deersniper]

Or loose and broke ! Or ran over by car

 

[BCX]

I’m noticing a pattern w the 300 NM, scopes, bolts and Spuhr mounts….

 

[deersniper]

Why I only run short action in AI and I use the 300nm in desert tdch

 

[BCX]

Man I hope my AXSR can handle the 33xc barrel.

 

[pfl338]

Sure can...tools do break.

Yeah sweet - any pics of the completed rifle/chassis?

The bolt lift get ya?

 

[VSP968]

Tried to find some last night. Long gone.

 

[Hennig]

Fair call, thanks anyway mate.

 

[White Mamba]

Could the bolts have been over torqued and fractured?

Could have , I use torque wrenches but my gunsmith put it on by hand once .
Probably came loose during the match and I didn't catch it.
I shot a couple Long range matches with a 338 lapua improved and did not recheck this match

 

[BCX]

Guess I better ck all my bolts on my chassis.

 

[pfl338]

The bolt lift get ya?

Nope, just appeared after a range session. No parent material involved, only the bead itself cracked. AINA took care of it, outstanding customer service.

 

[BCX]

Bad weld! Did they replace your bolt or just weld it?

 

[deersniper]

I heard the AT-X bolts and handles are one piece turned from billet

 

[BuLLet]

@reubenski is about to have a field day with this lol

#milspechardwaretho

Super glue will fix that!

 

[BCX]

Jb weld for a field repair

 

[deersniper]

[Huskydriver]

I heard the AT-X bolts and handles are one piece turned from billet

But they used a mimd or cast shim ?

 

[pfl338]

Jb weld for a field repair

I actually did a "field expedient" repair and used that bolt the next weekend. AI has the tolerances very close on the fit between the bolt handle and body( at least on mine it was) so the JB weld probably would have held for a considerable amount of time. I would have been completely happy with a reweld considering the amount of rounds on the bolt. But AINA went ahead and sent me a brand new bolt, awesome service!

 

[NoLegs24]

Anything can fail eventually

I’ll let you know if my ASR with 300NM goes south. Maybe it’ll be next year when I use it for the 3rd time, at the NF ELR. So far, AI solicitation rifles have been money for me.

But I’m just a regular joe

Shooting a match with my Ai300norma mag right now.

Mine came loose at the NF ELR this year. Around the 13th stage of day one I noticed it. Torqued them down and been good since.
