for people using factory 308 or something that may be true.
look at all the sfp lfp pierced primer issues though. Couple good jets of gas can erode your firing pin tip, then you may want that spare part. Maybe that just happens on lesser rifles though.

Need help! AI bolt just failed/fell apart today at the range

I was shooting today and all of the sudden I couldn’t close the bolt. Pulled the bolt out and the bolts dropped out the bottom and top fell off. Any ideas thanks

Triggers and bolts

I've heard of AW triggers wearing out in the past, but not ATs. That said, as cautious a guy as I am, I'm impressed that there is only one single example of a bolt assembly breaking. And it sounds like its from someone overtightening the screws holding it together, as they sheared at the same time. I'd be willing to bet we don't see this again on here.

 

[HKSniper11B]

It's already happened on here, we don't have to wait for another issue. The guy that shoots on Team AI already told us to carry a spare bolt assembly.

If you've been on this forum long enough you'll remember the lugs setback issues and I wouldn't trust anything with a newer model trigger more than I'd trust a Trigger Tech.

But I can see you're just going to deny and argue

I haven't been on here long enough, or following AIs long enough so, that would make sense. I'll stand corrected.

 

[jbuck88]

I'm betting with factory ammo and not modify thek at all they run forever. Mess with them and all bets are off. Reload and risk damaging the bolt face or firing pin tip. That is given that they are trouble free when new. I had two that needed serviced when I bought then. 1 had a broken clamp on the LOP adjustment the other had debris behind the plunger on the ejector.

For me I'll order a spare bolt or two and know that that'll take care of the most likely issue that I might encounter with reloading.

so those of us poors that shoot AWs, what are our options for triggers and bolt assemblys?

I'm out in the US in September... is it worth getting an AI Competition Trigger for my AT.. would save myself £200 vs getting them here... and what needs doing for installation? Might not change it day before the world championships start though

Man, every time I see one of those AI Vision chassis I am reminded how much better looking they are than the AT-X(C) variants.

I have half a mind to keep my extra AX and convert it to a Vision.

It’d be a very expensive spare parts holder for my AT (bolt, trigger, etc) lol

I just bought two of them for my AT and AXMC. It is very versatile in terms of customization to what you want it to be. I would not hesitate to try it.

It takes all of 10 minutes to install. I think I spent an hour between the actual installation, adjustment and reattaching the skins. If I can do it, anyone can.

What parts need to come off? Mines obviously in the full Vision get up.. so it is just the Grip Panels?

I have no idea about the Vision chassis. The AT requires the side skins and grip removed. That is 5 screws. Then the trigger and plate is removed (2 screws).

MAKE SURE THE BOLT IS REMOVED BEFORE STARTING.

“Lefty AI shooters are this country’s backbone.”

I'm a cross-eye shooter: left eye dominant, right handed. I learned to shoot in the Army completely left handed with a rifle. When I got my AI, I had to learn how to shoot right handed and right eyed, and work hard to work switching my eye dominance. I'd love to experience a leftie AI.

 

[stanley_white]

A complete bolt assembly..

Thank you!

[stanley_white]

When I asked the Irish Snipers at the International Sniper Competition at Fort Moore about what they did with their own AI Arctic Warfares, they flat out said, "...they never break."

They've had the same bolt assemblies, the same firing pins, even the original barrels, on their rifles, for almost 30 years. And after all this time, they're still competitive. It absolutely blew my mind hearing this.

I honestly had the same question for them, about what breaks and what you should have parts for, which is how I learned of this. That said, I don't think I've seen or heard of any AI AT308 or AW breaking.

I'm all ears for counter responses and examples of anything breaking and needing replacement though.

Update: this very much reflects using .308 exclusively. As @taliv has pointed out below.

Wow!

Thank you!

Was an awesome event. Surprised it wasnt more full. Eric is awesome and the venue was very fun to shoot at. Had some good wind on day 2 and lots of moon dust slowing rifles down, AI didnt miss a beat!

 

[The Durk]

Going from an AT to an AT-X is night and day different. Can’t wait to start shooting some team matches.

 

[Dr. Strangeglove]

I agree, my AT was great but the AT-X really gets it done in .308

The AXMC is the '04 Dodge Ram 2500 with all the emissions taken off and a set of truck nuts. When it was made as a long action it got a barb wire tattoo and then when it knocked up some temporarily cute but slutty, chubby girl (always destined to blow up) at the drive in movie theater AI made it with mag adapter kits to take care of all it's little bastard short action kids.

At least it isn’t a white wrangler or f150

Yes

Maybe the new ARC action getting more people into AW cuts? Maybe more people realizing the AT is the way and the light?

Yes

Makes sense as its the Short action only version of the AXMC

 

[utahn801]

 

[Scotch_egg]

AI have designated an AT-XM for military and Law Enforcement only.

The AX308 as it was officially known has been discontinued for this reason. It makes sense for production purposes.
