I just took mine apart and torqued it. The rear screws almost felt like they were glued in. Damn near gave up I was afraid to strip them. Torqued the action screws to 35 inch lbs per the manual

The screw behind the mag latch is just for the mag latch. Didn’t have to be removed to remove the action.

Also the sling stud/catch for the folder thing…ya you can remove or install that anytime. Doesn’t connect anything internal. Just that catch itself. It’s really easy to strip the head on….ask how I know 🥺

The rear ones were really tight, and made good noise breaking loose. Front ones were hand tight.

I completely reversed that hinge thingy because it gets in the way of my hand and i don't rest my thumb on it. It is a mixture of parts from non hinge and hinge screws. Left side is the sling mount, right is flat bolt head.

You should be alright; now you know all buttoned up per spec-ish

Remove barrel (not mandatory, makes it easier if you have a long handguard/nv bridge)
Remove rear chassis bolt.
Remove front chassis bolt
Remove the bolt behind the mag release
Remove the (whatever you call the hinge/sling thingy)

Rail/chassis comes off

Remove 2 trigger screws
Then remove the 4 action screws the action comes off

How did you do that paint pattern? I really dig that.

This past weekend was our monthly club match at Precision Rifle Queensland in sunny Australia. As always I was shooting my AT-X. This month had the 6 Creedmoor barrel spun on. Unfortunately, the wheels fell off for me in the last two stages and I ended up with 6th overall. When I got home and inspected the rifle, I realised the action was loose in the chassis. That would explain why the last two stages I couldn't hit much. It might be time to bond the action like my old AX.

Did you ever double check the torque when you first got the rifle ? Just curious.

No judgement, but genuinely curious…

Is it not common practice to torque everything down, pops witness marks on every bolt head, and check em before, during, and after each match/range trip?

Spoke to some more experienced guys about bonding the ATX chassis. They pointed out the ATX chassis is thinner in design and would require milling for the epoxy to be correct on the flat bottom chassis as well as the washers needed for this.

So after arguing with the voices in my head I ripped her down and loctited all 4 action screws and the 2 screws holding the chassis halves together

With the ATX checking torque is much more involved then a standard chassis as you have to take it apart each time

I have the AXSR and I haven’t run into loose action screws. I also take her completely apart every 6 months to deep clean the AZ desert meth dust out of her.

With a can (it’s airsoft)…so maybe @Huskydriver will finally love meeeee

Just picked up this AXSR in 300 PRC. I wanted to get the Kraken but the wait time would be too long and I would miss the CA excise tax deadline!
I am going to try this out at the range tomorrow. No time to get back into reloading yet, so I'll use Hornady Match to see what kind of grouping I get out of the box. Hope the blast won't be too much with this Fat Bastard brake or I'll have to get an Insite Heathen or Ace brake.

Mine groups the factory 225ELD in ragged holes at 100, but the ES/SD is pretty bad since they had to start sourcing their powder from new sources (pre-2021 manufactured ammo was better). The newer stuff does ok out to 1000, but to really take it out where 300PRC lives I’ve had to handload.

Who chambered your barrel? WinTac?

How many action screws does the SR have? I think it’s 6? The new ATXC models have 6 now. Which I’m not suggesting anything but there may be a reason they didn’t stick with 4 in those

Beauty. As much as I love sage green and elite sand, both times I laid down my own cash for an AI I went all black. I was accidentally shipped a sage green AXMC when I ordered. So tempted, but sent it back for the black. That being said, if elite sand was still available that would be my next one now that I have black covered.

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.

Is it just optic illusion, or is the optic touching the forend bridge ?

This is what I did after my little fiasco...but add that I also did the two screws holding the trigger into the action.

Just wondering is there any kind of internal lug to keep the recoil forces off the receiver screws ?
I have never been inside a ATX rifle.
Definitely happy my AX is bonded, but will keep an I on screws torque’s from now on.
