LOL. That never gets old.
@reubenski proposed 14" with an adrenaline rush, and I'm petering around with the best of 11".
For those of you running 6BR variants, are you running magazine kits or will they feed fine in the standard double stack AX mag?
Hey man, what does bukakke mean?
I think you have a couple options. You can run a 5rd AICS mag (you may have to tweak it a bit, like shaving the bolt catch on the magazine a bit so it rides a little lower and the feedlips don't rub on the bolt ...as well as possibly tweaking the feedlips to one side or the other so the round approaches the feed ramp more like from an aw mag rather than straight down the center) or you can can modify a 10 Rd AW/AX mag. With the AW/AX mag I think you could drill it and install a pin (though finding the exact spot where it limits to 5 but doesn't interfere with the spring might be tricky). Alternatively, a block that you install in the bottom of the mag before you insert the follower/spring might work. It would be a little trickier than an AR mag round limiter that you can typically remove the baseplate and insert up through the coil spring. Instead you'd need to have a hollow block that the leaf spring could ride through the middle of. In addition, you can't install it through the welded baseplate, so to get it by the feedlips, it might have to be in 2 halves. I don't think anyone makes one, but someone good at designing things and with a 3D printer like pfl338 might be able to help you out.
Personally I might try the 5rd AICS mag route first.

I reached out to pfl338…we are going to come up with something!
Ok I feel a little bad, you’ve been here since 2008. Hopefully you get the joke.
I’m sure someone has had a bad AI.
Yea definitely.... when I bought my AT I bought it with no barrel. Never shot until I put a barrel on it.
I'll dip a toe in the water, always had an AI that shot, but did have one factory barrel that would never speed up. 26" 260R barrel that was always slower than my 24" Proof carbon fiber barrel. Tried differing ammo, suppressed, etc., but it just never attained velocity. Round in the 24" was 2850fps, same round in the 26" was 2825fps, 2890 in the 24 and only 2860 in the 26". Shot about 200rds with no changes; finally took it off and parked it.
I take it that you didn't go with elite sand?

Has anyone recreated or purchased a deployment ECS Composites ASR load out case for the ASXR? Pics for inspo would be greatly appreciated. My pelican 1750 looks wimpy compared the deployment kit
I used mycasebuilder.com to do this case, using the SKB 3I-5616-9. It should be searchable in their database for public shapes, but if not you can email them and ask for File ID 313127.
Just be mindful that this case weighs over 70lbs fully loaded; motivation to stay in shape.
Thanks, but credit must go to Dave Wylde of Valkyrie Rifles in Rotherham, UK. He did the work.
Nothing, I just try not be too rough. A coated cleaning rod can't really be too hard on a barrel that has copper bullets larger than the rifling blasted down it by nearly 60k psi.
Now if there was an off barrel bore guide available I'd use one because why not. But since one doesn't exist I don't worry about it much.
Lol just looks like you were missing some key parts there. It's tricky getting the shorty barrel in there with a suppressor
The can actually fits in there nicely. The velcro strips that retains the barrel, ripped out at some point, so unfortunately the barrel keeps falling out. I need to figure out how to fix it.Lol just looks like you were missing some key parts there. It's tricky getting the shorty barrel in there with a suppressor
Okay Snobs
This damn 308 barrel is way to long.
I want a new barrel, preferably in the 18-20” range.
Proof has a 20” I can get for like $500.
20” seems nice, but I’m gonna run a can so 18 seems more ideal.
Anything else in that $$$ range that can touch the proof pre-fit?

AI takeoffs come up in the px a decent amount. Be a Bartlein or LW depending where it’s from
I’ve been a looking. I’ve been tempted to sell/trade my 260 barrel for one as I’m too into the 308 to start messing with a different caliber lol.
Just a quick search showed two that sold in October here for $550
Could always just post a wtb ad in px. Or just mentioning it here may sway someone who follows this thread to part with one laying around.
