I had the same request. Talked to Matt at SawtoothRifles.com about three weeks ago and he said he is making a small run of this very option. I need to follow-up. Maybe we can let him know there is more than a few of us who want this option. His prices are very reasonable.
Some other guy on eBay is selling something similar for AIAX but it does go beyond the end. Maybe he can do it also for the AIAT if Matt is busy and make it so it does not extend beyond the end: https://www.ebay.com/itm/264663161939

Mike @ MHA is one of the best, most experienced gunsmiths in the world. Can’t say enough good stuff about that guy. If you can wait a decade his 1911s are absolutely phenomenal.
Trust me, I was thinking of it. My hacksaw skills are “other world”…
Nothing the 5 axis Dremel can't handel
I mean at the end of the day it’s a rifle built by a couple dudes in a shed.
Not building a watch here.
Arca or Arca swiss started out as a quick release platform for camera nerds years ago. It's a platform of mounting just like picatinny/MLOK/dickmod. Tripods, bag riders, bipods all are supported with ARCA now. It works great.
Thanks! And you’re right, the tan TT does contrast well with ES AI. I think it also would contrast well on a SG AI too.
It's how you finish the cocking ramp too on the bolt body
You need a 7th axis CNC for that. 5 axis will not work.
Tell me about it…hacksaw at 5 different positions and still a “little” off. Law of averages, maybe
That’s where the filing skills really come into play.Tell me about it…hacksaw at 5 different positions and still a “little” off. Law of averages, maybe
And it rides a bag / fence post / vehicle window 100x better than picatinny
On a different. Note
Still one of the coolest AIs I’ve seen
Does anyone happen to know if the AXSA will be getting an ASR style chassis like the AXMC did to become the AXSR anytime soon?
I just want my factory .223 and Magnum AT bolts.
Purely speculation, but given how sporadic/nonexistent various parts are for the platforms they already sell…I don’t see a new model coming anytime soon.

Why you want that hump ?
The atx chassis is much better
.mil wanted that hump. For reasons ? Probably a transformer made that decision
^more better
If the axsr didnt have that hump I’d be using one instead of an atx
Because I already had it laying around and or it came with one of those used ZCO I pick up cheap afWhy are you using a Spuhr
ZCO mount is the best I want to standardize on them
Arc is great also but adding their Raptar mount is like putting a ring on a woman
Contemplating a new AI and was wondering if I should go 50 BMG or 338.
Looks like the costs are about the same to reload and the rifle would be for informal ELR shooting out here in Idaho.
Advice?

AXSR with 300NM & 33XC would be my pick.
So homophobes hate Spuhr now?
I've only owned two of them and they were a slight bit finicky to set up, but once dialed, they were stable long term. No probs. So they worked as good as or better than the other good mounts I've used.
Fixed it. Now we are on the same page! I like spuhr, never had an issue with the 2 I had.
Holy LOP Batman. I know you ain’t that tall.
Bottom and 2nd from top must be newest ones. I still see black mounts.
Tisk I say, tisk. Harumph even.
(LOL I joke, awesome collection)
Well you guys aren’t wrong, never shot a AI until now(or any of the magnum precision cartridges for that matter). As if this place wasn’t enough of an influence, now this.
First 10 shots yesterday with it. Eyeball boresight, 1st round fouler on paper at 100. Adjusted to center. Put 3 in .75moa and reset turrets. Immediately went to 600yds and put 5rds into a 3.75” group, and for fun 1 round at the 1K 36” plate with an impact, sure gets there in a jiffy.
Pleasantly surprised with the Ultra 7’s suppression of the 300 Norma.
215 Berger Hybrid Peterson Ammo clocked 2990fps.

Greetings, all.
Back in 2008, visiting a friend in Sweden, I got to shoot an A.I. Promised myself then, if I ever got an FAC (I’m in the U.K.) I’d get one.
Finally got round to it this year and my first ever rifle/firearm arrived back in May. Just happened to be in stock, in the colour I wanted.
Then it went back to A.I. because the action picatinny rail was visibly out (canted high left to low right). Finally got it back yesterday after a picatinny rail change. It’s still out, disappointingly…..probably going back to the shop for a refund but in the meantime, thought I’d post a pic of it while the dream still lives
As a side note, Mile High were absolute gentlemen and, knowing that I wasn’t/couldn’t be a customer of theirs, still gave help and advice.

I bought this AI/AT 65 CM as a demo unit from Eurooptic. It has the ACE muzzle brake, QD Spuhr mount and Tangent Theta 5-25. It does not recoil as much as I expected and the blast is surprisingly much less compared to both of my 556 AR-15 14.5” barrel. It is such a pleasant rifle to shoot.

I was curious to know if you put a few together in a room they might breed.
With all AX's you want a 1.5" mount or rings. That will fit any 56mm objective scope.
mk13 is the oldest. while not a true AI, it was my first foray into a chassis. chad built quite the shooter for me. with stiller down the road at the time, i popped over for a tour and picked up the mk13. within a couple days the marine corps contract was announced. had i had the resources at the time, i would have picked up a couple more of those actions. could have funded another AI or two . . .
from the mk13 i made the 'plunge' into AIs with the AX. snowballed from there. have yet to bring myself to part with one. nice to have loaners for friends / keep for the kids
may be time to work a little backward on the AI timeline, and pick up something green (or at least green stocked). DE is looking a little overrepresented.
Received mine yesterday from EuroOptic, unfortunately there is an issue with focus on these first batch and Tangent wants them back.
