The LH stuff gets me laughing every time. They don't even make toilet paper for left handed people so fair to assume it be hard to get LH stuff from one of the most boutique rifle makes out there.

I know a LH guy around here that because he shoots AI he's got 2 LH AWs. He's in his 50s so he's been struggling with the illness long enough that when the time to buy a specialized piece of kit , he knew from all those years of suffering.

The LH excuses are invalid.

Yes. I bought a new SFP 308 bolt body for one of my AXMCs. It was defective (actually skipped an entire step in the machining process). It was the ONLY one in stock ANYWHERE at the time. I had to send it to AINA. They inspected and called me and said, yep - we'll replace it. I asked how long that might take since no one had them in stock anywhere. They said, don't worry - we keep plenty of stock of parts like this on-hand for repairing customer's rifles. It will ship out today.

So, even if you can't find an extra part in stock anywhere, there is an excellent likelihood that AI has it on hand if a rifle needs it for a repair.

I had a very different experience from you.

I called AI to ask about replacing a damaged bolt head on a rifle I purchased. They told me they don't swap heads (even though I found a post on here where a rep stated they do), and instead offered to sell me a whole new bolt body for $800 and change (which they had in stock). Not what I wanted to hear, but figured I'd take them up on the offer. When I called back to purchase, the guy I got on the phone acted like I was an idiot and told me they don't sell parts, despite giving me a price for it maybe two days earlier.

Fortunately for me, a kind member here offered to swap his better condition bolt head for mine, so my ugly gas cut bolt has been united with the 7 axis dremel body.

And for anyone curious, swapping bolt heads is like a ten minute process, so I have no idea why they don't do it for people.

Did you send your bolt in to them for repair?

Anyone here know of anyone who makes a rubber pad that covers the AXSR 308 mag’s baseplate? To keep it from cracking when reloading over rocks/concrete? I coulda sworn I seen a post with some sort of rubber baseplate thing on some mags a year or two ago.

I printed some out of TPU on FDM printer, they work but the print quality of TPU is not great, not good enough to make a product out of it IMO, and I'm too lazy to do a full clean up and powder swap of the SLS printer.

No, they just told me to purchase a whole new bolt body, and made sure to tell me I'd void my warranty if I did any work on it myself. I obviously disregarded.

That's odd. How was the bolt head damaged? It's kinda weird they told you to just replace it without them even seeing it. It is understandable that they wouldn't warranty any work not done by them, though.

If ya don't find what you seek my dude, let me know, we've got a nice Markforged printer at work I could commandeer for a 'special assignment' (thanks @derek1ee for the idea).

I got to mess around a bit and set the mag catch height on the GrayOps A-dub. Easy enough to do. Definitely looks like a mag extension when you're used to a regular smooth AW barely poking out. Fit and finish is super nice. I was going to spray it to match my dasher barrel but it looks good and it's already a tight fit in the magwell.

There's a neat little ridge in the mag and follower at the cartridge shoulder, and using the patented finger test, looks like it may help minimize nosedives. I almost want to screw on the dasher barrel just to play with it a bit.

Its called applying lessons learned or buying insurance. I know I will buy the rifle soon so I bought not only every bolt body but also a spare firing pin shroud assembly

Did some additional stress testing of pfl338's AXSR/AXMC AICS mag collar design today, ran 100 rounds with 5 round string pairs at speed (i.e. as quickly as I could run the bolt and reacquire the target) out of a polymer MDT 308 mag in the AXSR. Not just from bench seated, but also off of a bag with weight into the front of the magazine. Ran flawless without any issues. I now have 3 MDT polymer mags with these collars on them and they will be my primary short action magazines for the AXSR.
