Accuracy International Picture Thread

Well with @M8541Reaper showing me the way on the short action calibers, I've finally completed the trifecta with the addition of a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. I feel like I am utilizing the AXSR to it's fullest extent now, shooting 300 Norma in ELR Light comps, 7MM PRC in the magnum category just for the sheer smile it brings to my face when shooting UKD to a mile (and hopefully the NF ELR Challenge this year), and now the 6.5 Creedmoor. Can't promise I will actually shoot it in a PRS match, but I may shoot it at Major Land's Snipers Cup with the Creedmoor barrel.

Regarding the trigger adjustability of the AI factory trigger depicted in the below video, what are the pitfalls to watch out for when adjusting it?

Will the adjustment screw eventually come out or is it captive?

Are light primer strikes a concern?

Anything else?



Thank you in advance for any advice.

Might have been mentioned in this thread already, and I know I have seen references to it regarding AW mags in rem 700s, but you may have to knock down these rivets in the 308 mag for reliable feeding of the last round. Seems crazy that tiny bit of interference could stop a round from feeding, but there it is. 1 minute with the 7 axis Dremel tool care of it. And AI, shame on you.

If a suppressor is too complicated for ya I really wouldn't venture into playing with an ai trigger 🤣

There is a limit to their adjustment range and it's easy to go to far and then trigger doesn't work and then you need to reset it. Which tbh I find really easy but I also figured out how to shoot supressed soooo 🤔

Yep! This is all the stuff I had to do to get them running reliably: https://www.snipershide.com/shootin...at-are-your-feeding-lip-measurements.7207889/

Have 3 of them that are running great now with those specific tweaks, but those little rivet bumps were definitely knocking the feeding off track and making rounds nosedive into the breech face.

The feed lips I can forgive given the various case sizes, but the rivets are just inexcusable. Just source the correct size rivet.
 
I picked up an AT, I read they possibly could be going out of production soon. And I like the thumbhole look and feel. But naively I bought a fixed AT instead of a folding.

I have an AT hinge so I thought it should be easy enough, unscrew some bolts and bolt the new one on. Wrong.

Should of done more homework, I didn't know this part is bonded as well.

What's the best method to change it, heat it up and give it a whack?

As a broken watch I am right twice a day.

Heat and brute force.

Your best bet is to just scrap the whole idea & sell me the hinge honestly. 🍻

I use MAPP gas , a block of wood and a big hammer to debond everything.

Heat it until it smokes and smells like burning hair.

Don’t freak out if the shiny aluminum frame goes flat when it’s hot. Just smear oil on it after it cools. It’ll be shiny again.

Use a good 3mm allen socket to remove the screws. Wait until you heat everything up to remove them. They probably have epoxy on the tapered head and on some of the threads.

What just happened?
I wanted to quote Functional's post about Jeep Bros (that I eventually edited into the post) but initially necro-quoted your Feb 23 post instead where you had two white jeeps with your rifle. Discovered once posted and changed to Functional's post.

As to why the brother didn't just tap the brakes, I just don't know.

One of my AIs on the 100yd range for zero.

There was so much time to brake or steer away, I just don’t see how you can have a such a lack of skill, maybe they just turned 16?

Either the brakes failed (doubtful) or he panicked and stomped on what he thought was the brakes but was the accelerator. Like those folks that claimed their cars had “unintended acceleration” defects after they ran over someone.

They will literally swear on their deathbed that they were on the brakes.

Some freaked out because the floor mats snuck over the gas pedal a little, blipping the throttle and they spazzed.

People that adjust or replace AI triggers are trying to make up for their bad fundamentals…..dont be that guy👍😆
 
Shot the MC in the season opener at White Oak Creek Range today, running the 300NM barrel using 245 Bergers, New forearm assembly worked well. I managed to pull off 10th overall and 4th in light gun.

15 people have already searched on line and purchased that bipod, 10 are still wondering what it is and 5 are at home jury-rigging something in their garage.


What a beautiful range!

Opens every Sunday and the regular R4 crew will be out there this morning at 0715 placing targets for a 0745 safety brief and first shot and 0800.

ETA - One of these days I'll actually figure out multi-quote...
 
ROing a 2 day this weekend and honestly .... got a little atx envy. Pretty nice rifles in person.

I still don't like elite sand though. It looks like it's confused on what color it wants to be. Like some blue haired people.....
I had an ES early on... They kind of changed color based on lighting and what was around them.
 
There's definitely some elite sand guns that are more on the extreme sides of the curve. Below is the same gun with different lighting. I like mine, but I also appreciate that most of the time it looks more green outside. Plus it was different than just another black or fde rifle.

Didn't they just start up the ELR matches there this year? And have a really nice schedule of them?
Yes, this was the first official match, still a few bugs to work out with the camera system, but a really nice range setup and its less than a 3 hr drive from the house, They are also holding monthly ELR matches! I am even more pumped about the practice days they have scheduled monthly, Get the range( no cameras, just hit indicators) for a full day for $100 fee.
 
Feels good to finally be able to post an AI here!
Been on the hide since 2009, and have wanted a gun with a ball on the bolt handle since the early days of GWOT.
While not my favorite model, the AT-X makes most sense for shooting PRS. I got the rifle from a member here, and have since upgraded it to where it sits currently.

Looking forward to the local match next month!!
