Anyone know the reason for the flushcup location change between AX rifles and AXAICS chassis? I pillaged a folding AXAICS buttstock to convert my fixed AX and noticed the difference. If there is any reason to use the AX specific buttstock ill swap the hunge itself, but cbf if its no benefit.

I believe it’s due to some issues with the cup at the top.

If the cheek riser is to low it can make it where you can’t remove/attach the flush cup. It’s never been a big deal to me. However I have had that problem. Just moved the cheek piece for the time being and then move it back

My guess is because a 700 bolt sits in a different position than a ai. I remember my axaics barely cleared when stock was folded. It would never clear with the cup like you ATX is.

The R700 action sits lower in the chassis than the AI action does. Here’s an AX butt (meant for converting AI AT rifles) on AT AICS. Note little/no bolt clearance with R700 bolt knob when folded. The bolt is not completely closed in this picture. This was a failed experiment as far as I was concerned.

If you don’t like the flush cup location, just use the hinge.

Edited to add: here’s an R700 in an AX AICS. Note different sized opening for bolt clearance. Same bolt knob, different barreled action; bolt closed.

And picked up the buttstock when it was still red hot from debonding, dropped it, and put a nice dent on the hinge. Oh well, it was gonna get banged up eventually.
Here’s a R/H AX hinge, although it’s green:

 
View attachment 7902693Welcome me home, boys (and girls). I finally made it on the A-team!

Fun fact about this journey, I bought the thumbhole conversion from Mile High all the way back in August of 2020.

Cool now rip it out of there and get it in a ao chassis
