Guys,
I have a post 2014 AI AX with .308 and 6.5CM barrels. Its a fantastic shooter and Im loving the rifle. Im even contemplating getting another one soon, maybe my ADD is too much. I have taken it on a couple of hunts, would love to shoot some competitions, and love a lazy range day when I can get away.
With so many options, accessories and attachments, what would be the top 10 to add to your AI AX? I think this may help out guys like me and the guys contemplating on getting into the AI game. Your thoughts?
This thread did me in. Everything is for sale in the safe and either will be purchasing a friends all pale brown ‘15 AX or New AT folder in green with the thumb hole stock kit (I think anyway... I used to have a 700 308 with a AICS 2.0 chassis that I loved). Hopefully all my stuff moves and I can appropriately partake in this thread sooner than later.
Theres a dude on Instagram (i think same name here) Tennturk who debonded his AT and put it in an mpa a while ago.Whos the wild buck that had the AT in the MPA chassis?
Might not be the best place to ask this but there’s a lot of diverse conversation here so I’ll ask. Is 6k a good price for an unfire 2015 AX 22” 6.5CM? Pale brown
Thanks I’m just unsure about the 3 years old but unfired lol. I’m guessing being ‘15 it’s a large firing pin? I’ve seen Used 17s and low round counts list anywhere from 6000-5500ish on here. If this deal isn’t doable between us I’ll probably just order an AT folder from MHSA, But damnit id love to just get it over with and get an AX from the get goAbsolutely.
I’m already considering selling my AT folder for an AX. The AI bug is real lol
Yes, that's a good deal. Plus it's with a 6.5 Creed barrel, so you don't need to worry about the extra $800 for a barrel other than 308. And if you end up wanting a 308 barrel you can find one for like $300 on the Hide.Might not be the best place to ask this but there’s a lot of diverse conversation here so I’ll ask.

Personally, I wouldn't do the deal unless you could confirm it was the small firing pin version. It's easy enough to check if the seller can remove the bolt and take the firing pin assembly out for a picture. You just never know if/when you'll want to shoot a small firing pin round like 6.5x47L or some of the Alpha variants like their 6XC or 6.5 Creed SRP brass.
I appreciate the advice. I don’t have a big collection of 6.5 brass. 100 prices Lapua and 100 pieces of Hornady. I honestly don’t see me ever doing any of the 6mm stuff. I’ve run the srp brass in my rpr without issue (large firing pin there as well). I’ve don’t some reading on here and accurate shooter and a lot of the 6.5cm srp issues come with the prefits and barrels that might not have been necessarily chambered and headspaced to that rifle. I know the newer fancy gamer chambering pretty much have to have the the small firing pin. Obviously that doesn’t mean I won’t have an issue here and if I do I’ll just move to some Peterson LRP Brass. I won’t be selling this anytime soon so the resale hit it might take being the large firing pin won’t bother me.
Edit: the 6.5 barrel was purchased from mile high right with the rifle and they did all the work on it.
What happened??? Did you break the muzzle threads off the muzzle when trying to install the brake?expensive start to AX ownership . . . but it happens to the best of us i suppose

Did you cross thread it? I thought factory AI barrels were metric
I just talked to Mile High. I asked my buddy to send me a pic of the bolt face. He said 6.5cm are hit and miss with LFP. He guessed that it being a 2015 SA AX that is was already small firing pin though. I guess we’ll see or if anyone can confirm that with thiers that would be appreciated.My LH AT and current LH AX were both small firing pin, so I can't comment from experience, but from what I've read some users with the large firing pin still had issues with high pressure calibers, even if they were large primers. I think it comes more from the generous clearance AI uses between the firing pin and hole, rather than the pin or the headspace. Some users never had problems though, so it's no guarantee. For myself, dropping that kind of money on a new rifle it was small firing pin or bust.

Have him pull out the firing pin and measure it.
2017 Unfired demo from EO for $6K. Came with a .308 barrel and brake, the new 6.5 barrel was a wash after selling the .308 barrel and brake.
I though I was going to miss the AT, that’s all gone now. Target is the first 5 rounds after getting the scope mounted. Used the load from the AT.

Question for the AX Short Action Guys: What was the deciding factor to go with a designated SA as opposed to the (LA) AXMC?
I'll be purchasing a AIAX of some flavor early 2019, and am inclined to go with the LA AXMC and then purchase a 308 bolt, adapter, and 6.5CM barrel. I will likely be 90% short action - but on paper - the LA AXMC seems to allow both with the only drawback being 1.5lb and +$1k.
Is there something I'm missing, particularly with respect to handing an ergonomics of the SA? I would appreciate any feedback prior to traveling up to EO to handle both.
