Well, easy. I can give you the Bundeswehr G22A1 and really make your jaw drop
Here's the link to the piece I wrote. Just ignore the H&K junk, and jump straight to the chapter on Molybdenum:
A Precision Shooter's Technical Tour: The MR762 vs...
www.hkpro.com
The short version: wet patching with Molybdenum is good for match grade barrels due to the way it thermogenically bonds to iron when exposed to high heat and sulfur. I only wet patch, and do not dry patch. It makes cleaning easier, and has advantages.
Sounds a little like the whole moly coated bullet craze, have you done any testing with those and how wet patching compares?
It's one and the same. Lake City did testing more extensive than my own. Read the chapter I did on this from my writeup, get back to me and I'll respond in kind. Most of my research is known from the racing industry:
I run Molybdenum based oil in my race car, and we've done 40,000 worth of oil testing in a track car that revs to 8000rpm. The oil analysis has been surprising, and because of the results, we only change the oil every 7,000mi. Knowing what it can do in a race engine for pistons spinning in a cylinder block, has shown it to work.
When Mike Kojima, a racing engineer, created Jeany's Gun Lube that is Moly based, I started using it and saw the difference on a BCG vs not using it. Same further on the gas piston of the MR762.

Proven in competition and in the field to keep your gun cleaner for longer and make it easier to clean when you do! If you hate cleaning guns but demand the highest in performance and reliability, this is your product. Nanoparticles of lubricant bond to the metal surface and subsurface making it...

The stuff works as far as my experience goes. Both Shooters Choice FP10 and Jeany's Gun Lube are Moly based, so I swear by it for match barrels.

All that and pos leupy wtf is the matter with you put a damn Schmidt on that
First outing with the new Proof competition contour barrel and AI comp trigger on the AT. Really like the barrel a lot
No sh×t. A unicorn Leftie AI. That's wicked to see. I had to teach my eyeballs to shoot right handed due to running a bolt action. I'd love to see what I could do with a LH AI AT308. Very cool rifle dude.
I need a little input... Would like to purchase a can for my at-x. Shooting 6cm mostly. What do you guys recommend and what are you all using?
Thx. It looks pretty good.
I don't want to put a stupid scammer-attracting WTB ad, so here goes: if anyone has a RRS BAI-AT rail (1st version, short with the wavy sides) that they want to get rid of, pm me.
If you're after function, Sawtooth got you covered.
R-Lock/Arca Dovetail Rail: Accuracy International AT
R-LOCK Full length dovetail rails for the Accuracy International AT rifles and chassis.

Sawtooth rails are A+. I run them on any platform he has support for.
If you want a short section of arca on your AT like the old RRS rail, sawtooth also has you covered. This is what I have on mine unfortunately I don’t have any pictures of the rifle handy right now

It mates perfectly with the chassis and is solid. You also have exposed areas to access the spigot release mechanism unlike the Sawtooth. It was also half the cost if I recall.

I have both and functionally they are the same with minor cosmetic differences
By “both”, what are you referring to? The BAI-AT long (no waves) and short (w/waves) versions?
This is the sawtooth version:
This is the RRS version :
I bought the RRS out of the PX so I don’t know which version but it’s not wavey and covers the entire underside of the forend without protruding. The two versions I have are pretty similar

The AT and AW both with 20” barrels and setup as similar as I can get them while keeping the AW version vintage and the AT the “updated” version. I really enjoy shooting both and wish I was out today since it’s so beautiful.
Yes and it’s fantastic. It’s solid as a rock. The best spigot mount I have used. Worth every penny for the AT
Thanks
I have the picatinny version but didn't know they also made an ARCA. I'll have to try it out.
Sawooth’s R970 AT rail, has the cutout to make the spigot latch accessible.
Good point. I hadn’t even noticed that nice I use the Anarchy outdoors ARCA spigot block.
At-x did good today up to 1030 yrds. Really enjoying this rifle
NRL Hunter Idaho. 15lbs 9oz as shown.

No. They are Thunderbeast 338BA brakes that go with my suppressor.
Looking for info on this AI 10rd 308 mag. Pretty sure this is left over from my Mausingfield days but it isn't caliber marked and kind of has an MDT feel to it. Can anyone enlighten me please, did AI make non caliber marked mags? TIA.
No freeloading - Crappy pic of the MC out on Ironman range getting a zero on a new barrel.

looks like a single stack AICS mag to me made by AI. i don't think any of them have calibers on them

You mean you keep it horizontal, right? How’s it work for you?
If funny you mention that, as I bought some spare rear thumbhole skins a month or so ago for this very reason. I’ll give the monopod thing a go soon.
Is the standard butt pad adjustable in height like you have it, or is that the target butt?
I also have the same rail. It’s nicely made. Doesn’t attach quite far back enough for balancing on a tripod with some barrel + suppressor combos.If you want a short section of arca on your AT like the old RRS rail, sawtooth also has you covered.

I had this MBE rail from Sporting Services in my hands when you posted yours, but I didn’t want to talk about it as it has a problem.
Now that SS is resolving the issue (item wasn’t deburred enough, very sharp) and will be mailing a replacement, well, here it is. Pretty cool looking and a nice fit.

Still looking for that RRS BAI-AT as I’m sure it’s the most comfy to hold onto (if it’s like their AX version that I own). Plus since it’s short, I would have room to attach a pic rail in front or use a weird Keyslot bipod.
The RRS BAI-AT looks like this:

Just to illustrate, here’s the Sawtooth rail, which has three Keyslot screws like the above RRS. And here’s that AT keyslot bipod thing in front with an AI bipod attached, (both from Sporting Services).
You’re gonna wonder:
A) Why I just don’t use the factory spigot in front, and
B) Why I use that sorta floppy bipod
Answers are:
A) my club’s benches are too short for me to use the front factory spigot. I only shoot off benches or on tripods. Rifle as almost fell off a few times. First world probs.
B) I found I sometimes like floppy bipods. I guess the AI bipod was made to be a little loose so one can transition from targets quickly without picking up the gun and resetting placement again. It doesn’t pan, it just has some wiggle.
B.1) both the bipod and keyslot spigot are sage green. Need I say more?
Continuing on this first world prob theme… if I want to use a pic rail instead of the AI bipod but keep the three-slot Arca plate attached to the rear…Looks like unless I have a custom pic rail made, even the shortest 80mm/3.15” AI pic rail is a hair too long.
Funny AI doesn’t make pic rails that take up fewer slots?
Hey buddy! I’m back
Would you get the Sawtooth? I went down the rabbit hole and am eyeing the sawtooth rail for my AT to bring it into the modern world with an ARCA rail
That and I have a lead on a SFP bolt for the rifle, and despite the heavy price tag I may just do it so I can be like the cool kids and run a 6.5
I can’t find a Keyslot product like that in Badger’s site. Hmmm I wonder if it’s discontinued?
Where were ya?
I assume you are talking about the short rail I have.
If you have a longer barrel (24”) and run a suppressor, I think the rig will balance with the short sawtooth.
If you have a lighter 20” barrel and don’t run a suppressor, then the rail may not have enough backwards “travel” to balance the gun on a tripod, leading the rifle to tip backwards.
It certainly is a well made product.
I was “on vacation”
I run a 20” and suppressed at times
If I could eliminate the spigot mount with the Sawtooth long version I’d do so
May see a 24” plus barrel in the future too so it may be a good idea
Shall see what happens
