Accuracy International Picture Thread

I read in another thread that AINA recommends running the action, bolt and firing pin completely dry and free of lubrication. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.

Someone here referred to the MC as "mostly a prone gun" and that's really resonated with me.

Still extremely happy with mine but I wouldn't recommend selling a short action AI to move to an MC or SR.

I love my AT. The only reason at this time i could possibly think as to why i might move it on is because i want to get another Long Action Rifle for some ELR at some point in the future... to save on buying two lots of glass, i might consider selling the AT and buying a MC... maybe.

having owned and competed with an AX and now an AT, I much prefer the AT over the AX. If AI did the transfer from magwel handguard to tube more like Cadex I'd have an AX now. That sharp drop always found a way to F me like an angry pimp when trying to set up on obstacles, it is a very nice mostly prone gun though, was always super comfortable. If I was serious about competing again and just just doing it every now and then id probably have an AT-X or drop my AT in an AO chassis, both are a lot more geared for the game, but the AT is just too sexy.

And we all know that the most contributing factor to skill is looking good 😅
 
I love my AXSR with all my heart, but why in god's name did they put the rear receiver bolt directly under the mag catch?? The only ball end I've found that can actually get to it is a allen wrench, and I want a 1/4" bit extension but can't find one with enough approach angle. I really don't want to knock the mag catch out every time I want to check torque.

It's a rhetorical question, they did it that way because that's the way the geometry worked out, I know.

Pic because this is a pic thread. :)

The Fix It Sticks extended ball but worked for me. But yea they are hard to find…and fuck that location.

Looks like it's time to get some Fix It Sticks, been thinking about it anyway. So, you can use the torque driver with the extended bit and get in there?

Yea. But just a heads up…their bit quality blows. I replaced all of my FiS bits with Wiha but haven’t had a chance to hunt down a Wiha extended ball bit. So far the extended ball hasn’t been used enough to show me if it too is worthless.

Those mag catch pins are directional also. So something to keep in mind before hammering em out and messing up the holes. And that mag catch sucks to put back in. Best to just get a quality extened ball head.

Weirdly, I prefer using the MC in comps compared to the AT but both will do just fine!
@JayjayUK you can try my MC at Bisley or one of the PRS shoots and see for yourself 👍

[I appreciate the sin of using a Harris on any AI, I have repented]

Finally got an AIAT I’ve been wanting for awhile. Just waiting on a set of scope rings. I took the skins off and took the barrel off to make sure everything was clean and put some anti seize on the barrel threads. I removed the quick change screw completely unintentionally but I minded the smaller wash as not to lose it and reinstalled it, the barrel and torque it to 49in/lb. I then noticed in the manual that it says not to completely remove the quick change screw… oops. I assume this is so you don’t lose the screw and/or washer. Correct?

That's it you done made it worthless... send it to me and I'll try to resuscitate it!

Anyone else get a sticky bolt ? What fixed it. Dry or wet it still does it. Binds during forward travel. Maybe I need to soak the action in CLR cause gun scrubber ain’t cutting it.

I just wipe down the bolt when ever I clean the barrel. No solvent or anything. I will then apply a coat of oil, work the bolt back and forth a few times in the action and then wipe down again.

I apply oil to any contact points on the bolt. I haven't had a sticky bolt in either AI I've had.
