The folding stock is awesome

I can break it down into a very small package if I fold the stock and remove the barrel

When I tote it places I usually have the stock folded.

When I clean the rifle I fold the stock as well. No cheek piece to get in the way

The cheek piece is adjustable/removeable via some Allen screws

A folder is that one luxury item you don't think you need but when you have it you enjoy it every time you use it and wonder how you could ever not have it.

There are tricks like putting orings on the shafts for the cheek piece so it can be repeatedly taken off and put back on. The downside still is you need a tool to do this or buy the knobs to quickly remove the cheek.

If you get a screaming deal on a non folder I wouldn't hold back but otherwise I'd try and get a folder.

 

[TheBigCountry]

I don't need the compactness.

I do desire being able to remove the bolt without having to use a tool to remove the cheek piece first.

Either way the funds won't be around for this until 2025 so for now it's mid-term dreaming.

Among switch-barrel options in general, I am sold on the AT.

I didn’t know how easy it was until I had my old barrel off and the new barrel on in munites

Keep an eye on the Px and also call MileHigh and Eurooptic for demo versions

I got mine used from MileHigh and it came with 2 or 3 barrels, bipod, folding stock, and a Pelican case for under what a new one would cost me so the deals are out there

Thank you.

I'll keep my eyes peeled.

[TanktheFrank]

Regarding the AI AT, what is the advantage to the side folding stock?

I assume storage and ease of bolt removal for cleaning.

Anything else?

Also, if one has the fixed stock AI AT, and one wants to remove the bolt, I assume one has to remove the cheek riser?

If so, is this a simple process and is it repeatable?

Any information would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Get the folder.

full send with the Vision treatment from the boys over at GCP, almost there

 

[TheBigCountry]

Why don't you just remove the barrel to clean it? Why leave it on the gun and fold the stock?

Because I don’t need to.

Boretech and a few patches and it’s clean

I would second getting a folder..

Even if you buy some aftermarket thumbscrews to remove the cheekpiece.. you will still cut your knuckles up when running a rod through the barrel on the chassis (unless you buy an ultra long cleaning rod)

I now don't have that issue though as I've dropped my AT into a Vision Chassis.

God that stuff works like magic. I held off so long on spending that kind of money for a solvent but I’m glad I did.

I always used hopped and sweets too. The smell is something you never forger

The Boretech stuff works miracles. I even run their red lube in a tube on the lugs of my actions and it doesn’t fine job of that too. No more stinky Hoppes/Sweets here.

Wait till you discover wipe out by sharpshooter for the ultra lazy like myself... Prefer it over boretech honestly but BT is pretty good.....

I pull my barrels tho when I clean them just way easier that way.

 

[TylerN]

Which Boretech solvent(s) do you use? I have eliminator and find it works pretty well at dissolving copper but is weak on carbon?

I'm always looking for a magic bullet when it comes to cleaning, will check out Wipe Out also.

For what it's worth I've talked to a well respected barrel head guy here and while he doesn't hate BT he has seen quite a bit of issue with regards to corrosion. I sent my barrel in for evaluation because of some abnormal pitting in the last 4" of barrel. He asked if I shot it suppressed (always) and if i used boretech. He believes a the BT stuff that isn't dry patched out and immediately followed up by a good oil cause premature pitting ESPECIALLY when shot suppressed.

I was all in on BT until this experience. Not rushing what are now $450 barrel blanks

Very nice. Those carbon Bulls on these SA guns look really good and also perform well. You are going to love it.

Interesting

I thought it was the after effects of using CLR and not the Boretech

Yeah man, that’s mine.

Sheeeet! if BT carbon remover is going to be like that I might as well pull back out my big jug o' CLR (at least it's cheap.) As long as any of these chemicals are used sparingly and patched out with IPA & dry patches afterwards it can't be that bad.

 

[FUNCTIONAL]

@TheBigCountry @TylerN

His other least favorite is people using CLR haha! again he said they work but you need to be extra cautious about cleaning the cleaner out and protecting the barrel after.

I had typically always run 2 dry patches after cleaning, then 1 soaked in slip2000 and then 1 dry. Apparently that wasn't enough using it with BT. Of the things I had on hand he said just go back to Hoppes 9.

I figured. I have one of his barrels and it hammers

I think more than half the problem is people going ham on their barrels and not getting the shit out. Dry patch it a bunch then hit it with rem oil and you’re golden.

All in here. ATX is the last kid born in the family and gets Special attention despite it still being one of multiple kids. The Gen-Z of the AI world.

Just use wipe out bore cleaner.


Also. Windex works stellar on bcg. I bet it would be good on 22 barrels

Make fun of me all you want but Harbor Freight has their Apache cases on sale for $120 so I figured I'd treat the Ole girl. For its price I think she'll do just fine.

Is $8000.00 for an MC (338) like new condition okay number?

@Huskydriver i think had his for sale here a while ago

You see them for $6700-$7000 here. And they sit at that price sometimes

Sold mine for $8500 I think. That was with all 3 bolts and 6.5 and 300 PRC barrels. Wasn’t instantly sold and based my asking price off searching this site for sold MC’s

Of course with the price increase it maybe more now. I’d think $7000 would be a reasonable counter offer based on what I’ve seen here

 

[hafejd30]

If you’re shopping @toygunner has a solid deal posted.

Here it is

This seems like a solid deal in today’s prices
