Have you shot 6.5 CM with the small rifle primers? I ask because I talked to Mile High and they gave me the directions to measure the protrusion and it seemed fine. However, I still pierce 6.5 CM cartridges with small rifle primers.
I keep mine simple and both my AW and MC are Large Rifle. I did have piercing primer issues when I had my .243 barrel on the AW. There was a thread about it on the hide and turns out you can adjust the AI firing pins a half turn or so. I had a friend do mine and it stopped that issue. Way back in the day people were having issues piercing primers on their 260s and I think the 6.5x47s. I am almost positive that this is in the AI armorers course they use to teach. Probably 10 or so years ago. Going from memory, on the bottom of the bolt here are 2 set screws back to back and they would have to be removed, then you can turn the firing pin.
Why, just why did i have to see this right before i go to bed. No sleep for me tonight
Agreed. Personally unless I had the tools to change the barrel on early AX I’d get one with the quickloc which to my knowledge those don’t have. And yes I’ve seen the video of the barrel change with a crescent wrench and hammer so I know it can be done
AXSR is a great long range shooter. It's workable (but not good) for positional shooting. The hump in front of the mag well pushes the center of gravity high when shooting off a bag and running the bolt will rock the rifle wide to side. But it can work, just not easy to keep the rifle somewhat on target when running the bolt. Also for PRS positional style shooting I think the 6BR and various wildcats are the best cartridges and those don't feed in an AXSR. 6.5 CM or 6CM are also workable here, just not ideal. Hunting... Not my area but no AI rifle is light so don't plan on hiking around with them. If your driving up to a spot and unloading there that's ideal.
I left the AI in the picture just for you cum dumpster
If you’re shooting off a bag wouldn’t you want to rest the rifle near the tip of the handguard for the most stability not the arca rail on the AXSR? Getting the vertical pivot point further away from the shooter will increase stability.
Brah do you even shoot
Maybe it's a semantics thing but I'm trying to say shooting the AXSR like this is noticable less stable than my AT-X or any other PRS oriented chassis.
Umm the AWM must be behind this I assume
No.Nice AWM
I was referring to prone shooting. If you’re shooting off a fence post or doing PRS stuff you do what you gotta do. You don’t want your gun balanced in the middle ideally for max stability you would not mount your bipod there right? That’s all I’m commenting on, but I agree the AXSR design is challenged that hump is more there for structural rigidity as a solid mount for hand guard than a design point. Would prefer without it too.
It’s not but ok. Study the development of the EDM Windrunner which I had and also the Cheytac M200 which I had. The Windrunner had the bipod in the midpoint of the gun and that was the main complaint and the thing that held it back. Cheytac moved the bipod over a foot forward and it changed the stability night and day. I had an EDM with both and would used both bipods. Again changed the gun. Same exact physics apply to using a bag prone shooting with rear support.
Can I ask who you got the camouflage cover on the scope from? I’ve been looking to cover mine up.

@hafejd301k-1mile max. have ranges near me for both that I'm going to get a membership for.
Also - i've saved like 50 pics from this thread as inspiration, AT with thumbhole is preety beautiful rifle. So is AXSR with 18.5 proofSo I think they are equally "cool" since that is preety important. I have a Helios QD Ti supressor I plan to run with .308 and 6.5 creed already. So I figure with the TI supressor direct thread (weighs about as much as a muzzle break or less), and a proof 18.5, the AXSR would be relatively maneuverable for when i'm shooting short action cartridges?
@hafejd30
Starbridge,
The AXSR is easily moveable with a 26” steel AI 6.5CM barrel (and hellfire match brake) so an 18” CF with a can will be no issue unless you have a physical impairment. My PRS barrel is a 24” 308 with a hellfire match, and it’s very easy to move around.
I pretty much only run short action rounds in my AXSR with the only magnum (so far) being 300PRC. I have yet to get enough free time to scout areas in southern AZ where I can really get to play with the PRC so my AI pretty much lives in 65CM or 308. …and why I haven’t dropped the cash on a 300NM barrel.
The long action vs short action throw isn’t an issue and isn’t noticeable after the first range session. I know you didn’t ask about that but figured I’d chime in with it.
I’d say get the AXSR if funds aren’t an issue, especially if you’re going to have access to a range with that capability. Very easy to maneuver and it just shoots really damn well. Me not so much
Oh and the balance of the rifle is just perfect without the addition of weights and whatnot.
You won’t regret it man.
If AI ever offers any LH AXMC parts again, I can guarantee a large expenditure on my partYou won’t regret it man.
Well I mean you might after you see how much ammo you’ll go through
I’ll say this though, I recommend you buy all three bolt bodies as soon as you can, that way you aren’t limited in caliber choices because of in stock issues. I have all three complete bolts but need to eventually snag a spare 308 bolt body to add to the parts kit. Just in case because it’s my primary bolt. I also snagged a spare AXSR trigger from EO. Never hurts to have it in the kit.
Now we know where all the parts wentYou won’t regret it man.

Thank you for helping explain that much more eloquently than I could!

Witch us retarded. As @theking says. It’s about the same machining to make a AT-X and they sell that less than half the dollars.
Aren’t you supposed to be trolling the poors somewhere else’s
