Any of you hoarding heathens have AT green folding thumbhole skins laying around?
Like Bigfoot, Elvis and a Tiffany that ain't white trash - people say they see em all the time but they don't exist.
It's mind blowing to me just how accurate these rifles are. Did more ammo testing with Hornady TAP ELD Precision 168gr from the factory 20" 1:12 twist .308 barrel.
I saw Bigfoot yesterday actually, he said good luck on the skins you peasant.
All green currently (non thumbhole) but trying to embrace the thumbhole life and a AO Vision chassis that's on the way shortly.
Id like you to know you just cost me 90 GBP. You made me realize I had green fronts and there was nothing stopping me from ordering a green thumbhole kit.
Now I have a black thumbhole kit collecting dust.... need black fronts and pistol grip and I'll dip those.
If anyone has black (or any color) fronts and pistol grip they want to offload let me know.
Where did you get the green thumb hole kit from?
I have looked and looked but all appear out of stock.

You have to get the fixed version. Good news is it's the same skin as folder and has a score mark where you have to cut. I converted my tan and black thumbhole kits very easily. Cut a little long and then fine tune with rigid sanding block with fine sandpaper.
9 green kits in stock. Bunch of AI swag too, I picked up some stickers and a patch.
Edit: DO NOT call and ask if they ship to the US. They will say no but if you just do the order online they ship no problem. Myself and a bunch of others here have ordered from them without issue.

Sure hope that’s a 6.5cm lmao
Can't afford a decent scope but you got time and money to step out on the main huh
...smdh wtf is that POS? That's a6gt impact huh

Probably a 22br. Those guys are scared of recoil and a 6gt might be too much for him.
I run decent scopes; Steiner and Burris FTW
It’s a 6mm Creedmoor. It’s going into a Bravo and will have a XTR3 sitting on top too
At the risk of filling up my suitcase.. if any of you are going to the IPRF World Championships at Cameo in September... I will be coming out and could bring some stuff over for some.of you if you do start having shipping problems.Accuracy International - Thumbhole Grip Upgrade Kit

Anything heavier than skins though and I might start having an issue with luggage weight
If a business doesn’t take a STAR, then they aren’t a legitimate business.

Switched up the ATX to a 6.5 PRC
100m groups on the new 6.5PRC barrel cut by Matt at Sawtooth Rifles, ATX bolt modified by Fritz at Black Canyon Customs. Factory Berger 156’s averaging 2870 fps
Groups are good .. ES at 25 -needs a little work. Loading some 153.5’s on the once fired.
Side note: The tangent is superior and the rear rest is a cheater.
Shout out to @plf338, Jorge @NoLegs24, Matt and Fritz for all the help.

When I scored mine a little over a year ago they were fairly difficult to source (and not available to the general public). Up to that point I'd only seen a few in pics, mostly on the ASR and Australian contract rifle, maybe a couple LE rifles as well. I believe they still are tough to acquire, however EuroOptic has a product page for one. Not sure if it's ever been stocked, but lit looks like you can backorder it.

FREE SHIPPING on Accuracy International AXSR 16" Dark Earth Forend Tube Sub-Assembly w/Integrated RRS Rail & 20 MOA M-LOK Top Rail 100-19-001392DE
Previously these forends would have come from me. Others were using different screws with the AXSA or MC Mlok rails to make it work on their SRs.
Not until just recently have they offered it up like you see from the EO link that was posted above.
It's a very long lead time for them currently. I should have more this year at some point. Been on order for months already.
Why do you have to get the fixed version?Accuracy International - Thumbhole Grip Upgrade Kit

AI discontinued it........ But they can get you one for 3k
Only because the folder version in green was out of stock. If they have the color you want and you have a folder that's the one to buy lol.
7 axis Dremel go bur burrr
New rifles, yes. For parts…maybe not. They “discontinued” Sage Green when ES came out, but you could still order barrels in Sage Green the whole time it was discontinued (not NOS barrels, but production orders on-demand). I ordered and received about 3 during that time. Last time I checked, I could still order a new barrel in ES as well, and this has been since they discontinued ES. But that’s barrels, and not an ultra-rare hand guard, so…
Shoot me a PM. Have one ES Mlok here. Little Darker color then the new guns coming out.
Just started breaking in my new 'elitist of sand' 6CM barrel. Today was shots 21 - 40. It virtually mirrored the results of shots 1 - 20. Just two boxes of factory Hornady stuff. My barrel hates the 103gr Precision Hunter, but all four groups of 108gr ELD-M were in the .5s and .6s (even when I booger up a shot).
I'll start load development for this one next week. I'm already sitting on the necessary components.
I've come to the conclusion that my numb-assed fingers aren't a good match for the competition trigger. I know the break is supposed to 'surprise you', but I keep doing it trying to register the wall between the first and second stage. The result is that I have to basically stay on target and creep the trigger all the way through.
^ Yes, I've adjusted it to as heavy as I could. Yes, I generally shoot rifles with 2.5 - 3lb triggers for this reason...and Yes, I always look down at my hands while I'm working on equipment and wonder when the hell it was that I cut the shit out of my fingers.
It is hereditary.

Corrected it for you.Jake give him the 3.0% off hide discount and don't forget my fee
How many do you need? How about a complete sets of green AT skins? Everything is for sale for the right price.
They're out of stock and there is a 12 week lead time (I don't know if that was a finger in the air number or a fixed delivery date), but I converted one a few weeks ago with a hacksaw and some sandpaper and it was easy and neat.
Sporting Services has all the thumbhole folders in stock (except leftys, sorry wronghanded people). I had been flip flopping on converting mine, but I folded since they're in stock and the AT is going away.
