Worlds colliding as @SAS_Sniper came out to Texas from Italy and shot the AT with me. I told him to try sneaking his AWM through TSA next time. He wasn't convinced lol.

I have a follow-up question to ask the AXMC owners regarding getting a bolt/firing pin bushed.

If you bush the firing pin and the 308 bolt body, what happens when you use the smaller diameter firing pin with the 300WM and 338 LM bolt bodies that are designed around the larger firing pin?

That would not be recommended since the new, smaller, firing pin would not fit the larger pin hole in the bolt body.

I had LRI bush all my AXMC bolts and I use the same firing pin assembly between all of them. It's cheaper doing that than buying a complete factory small firing pin 308 bolt and firing pin assembly and keeping a second large firing pin assembly for the magnum bolts, and this way you don't have to worry about cratered primers on any of the bolts (unless you do something really really stupid.) You can often score the large firing pin AXMC 308 bolt bodies very reasonably in the px.

I will suggest you buy a spare firing pin to send to LRI to turn down, as after the bushing job the firing pin is no longer an off the shelf item from AI, so if you ever damage one you might be in for a long wait unless you have a spare ready to go.

Your idea also occurred to me. I am LH so no Part is readily available from AI. I have had a LH 300WM bolt body on back order since last November. I can’t ever imagine a spare firing pin assembly becoming available.

Unless you are in true need to have a small firing pin hole, I wouldn't mess with it. You have to remember that if you go the LRI route, you will be forever stuck with how LRI does it. It's not going to be compatible with how any of the other smith does their small firing pin setup. To me, the squeeze is not worth the juice.

Yep, that's why once you have it bushed somewhere you are locked into that smith for your future bolts. I had LRI bush the .300WM bolt my AXMC came with along with a spare firing pin, and about a year ago I got really lucky and snagged a .308 bolt body that had already been bushed by LRI from the px for only $250... score! LRI does very consistent work and the already bushed 308 bolt I bought from the px works perfectly with the firing pin assembly they did for my 300wm bolt several years ago.

If you want to spend stupid dollars, AI offers all 3 AXMC bolts in small firing pin now, but that's $750 per bolt body. You can buy a spare firing pin from mile high and have LRI bush all 3 of your current large firing pin bolt bodies for less than a single small firing pin bolt body from AI.

Yep you will need to bush all your bolts or have a separate firing pin assembly... if you used a sfp in a lfp bolt body you would probably get massive primer flow and eventually it would probably tear up the tip of the fp especially if your loads are hot.

Tbh I like how LRI does the bushing but their are pros and cons to how each Smith does it... I eventually just got all factory sfp bolt bodies and fp but I get it that lefty situation is tough.

SMH. It always amazes me when a company refuses to address a profit potential that would need little to no investment from tooling already in place for a continued line of legacy options. Cannot tell if its hubris in pushing new product lines or lack of vision in being able to acquire easy profit in low lying fruit options that need no marketing. Wonder if it is a European thing as Hk is probably the biggest example of this phenomenon being so begrudgingly(?) late to the table with a reboot of their MP5 SA clones that sell well in the civilian market at 4-5 times their LEO/agency price. Guess that is one difference between firms and publicly traded companies.

It's almost never as easy as it sounds.

All those things require machines to make, people to run the machines, and people to assemble and ship those products.

Companies typically aren't just stamping their feet and not taking what seems like free money to anyone on the outside.

Probably because they’d rather sell new Accuracy International rifles rather than chassis for Remington 700s….
