Accuracy International Picture Thread

Wait, so you like yours (Elite Iron) better than the Anarchy one?
The anarchy on my AT is a block that goes inside the chassis and is pinned in place of the AI spigot. The elite iron above in the pic looks like it attaches to the AI spigot. Then would have a bolt on the end to hold tension.

My anarchy has no can’t to it. I had a AT Rem 700 platform with the spigot mount and tension screw. That could loosen or be used loose and can’t

Either works. But if want to keep the original stud style spigot and not remove the block may help make your choice

Does anyone have any experience running 6gt in an Accuracy International AXSR?

I am looking to purchase an AXSR and would like to shoot 6gt in it if possible. But heard that the 6gt might be too short to run reliably in the axsr magazine.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!
 
Your first hurdle is going to be finding a blank that fits AXSR/AXMC. For the most part you are going to have a hard time finding 1.350" 6mm shank unless its custom. Or there a couple of smiths that have made sleeves/collars that fit.

First time taking out the AT. My son getting some time behind it.

That first tiny group was 3-shots, rounds 5,6 & 7 on that brand new barrel. The larger 5-shot group was fired about 20 rds later. No barrel break-in either.
Not even tuned loads, just grabbed what reloads I had for my Mausingfield and headed out.

Had to go or we would’ve been snowed out again until next weekend or later. Been impossible to get to any of my usual spots with the historic amounts of rain/snow we’ve been getting in N. Nevada.

What a fun night. Stuck a headlamp on the target down range in the snow so we could see it in the dark. It’s now pounding snow again, we had a window this evening so I went for it. I’ve had the rifle for two weeks and haven’t been able to shoot it because of the road access due to the weather. Been absolute torture.

Couldn’t be happier with this stick, only wish I would’ve bought an AI sooner. All you proponents were absolutely right.
 
If you want the reliability of ordinary rifles don't tighten it. Live life with a little spice.
Was out yesterday shooting at some targets 550-850 or so yards. Couldn't get consistent hits at distance. Only when I expended all my ammo did I happen to reach out and turn the barrel. Thought the suppressor mount was loose. Nope, totally forgot to tighten down the barrel bolt. It was only hand tight. I was thinking the whole time, this is the reason why I hate 308s so much. Nope, I can say I'm the idiot on this one. lol

That sounds like quite the discovery.

Well at least it was user error and not some legit problem with your equipment that couldn’t readily be fixed. See the positive! 😁

Lol I haven't been there yet with my AI but I have with a loose suppressor and feel the pain.

On another note, I used to have consistency issues at the AIs 49lbs and started using a fix it stick at 55# and never had an issue. I've wondered if AIs 49# spec is for dry threads, I typically like a very light coat of a grease on my threads and the extra few lbs helped me.

There’s been several guys reporting using 55-60” lbs on their AIs with better results
 
Just so you know. To get the same 49# dry clamping load you would use 30-40% less torque when oiled. So if you take the middle number and call it 35%. To get the same clamp load of 49# dry you would only need 32# wet. So 55# wet would be ~74# dry.

Not sure if that makes sense.
To the barrel bolt yes but that's not the part I'm referring to. Since you are clamping the tenon and it's not torqued into the action you'd need more clamping pressure wet vs dry (is what I'm guessing).

Honestly in all my schooling I never dealt with clamp pressure wet vs dry and just a torqued bolt/nut situation. Not really sure how it behaves but my guess is as I explained above and how I've been justifying my 55lbs 😂.

Results speak for themselves. I don't have a dog in the fight, just trying to explain torque values.

I haven't had a issue with mine at 49. But if I did I'd try going up just like you.
Not trying to attack you, really thought you knew something I didn't. I'm going to be up for a while now trying to find out if I'm actually right or wrong now lol.
