I chose the MBE Arca over the Sawtooth as it appeared to blend with the lines of the AT more.

Can confirm it does.. used to have one myself before my AT went into the Vision Chassis

Damn, I hate PRS.
So much gear designed specifically for playing a game.

I was just in the middle of a post where I was agreeing with you, but then I realized that I'm shooting an AT-X myself.
That would be like coming up from giving a blowjob to tell the other guy he's gay.
There’s good gay and bad gay
That sounds like bad gay

I use their game to further my skills and, as long as I learn something at a match, I am walking the prize table.

Exactly.
Uploaded most of the Stage Videos into a playlist from my last match prior to the IPRF '24 World Champs at Cameo next month.
Can't decide whether to record the stages at the World Champs or leave the TriggerCam at home and give myself one less thing to think about before a stage.

Inspired by @pfl338's mag collars which I use to run my AI AICS mags out of the AXSR, I wanted to make a more permanent version for myself with some tweaks based specifically on the polymer MDT AICS mags which ran really well in combo with the universal AXSR magwell collars that Paul had made.
To that end a few months ago I designed a version of the collar that has a stop at the exact height for the MDT AICS magazine to run well inside an AXSR and I also added some small things like a feed-ramp bridge that fills the gap between the short action magazine and the long action feedramp and eliminates any chances of nose diving.
After many rounds of running the bolt-on version held on by tension/friction, I'm confident enough in the design that I printed up some full strength PETG versions and epoxied them in place. They've been running both 308 and 6.5Creedmoor with zero hiccups. At 40 bucks a pop for the MDT magazine, I can replace 3 of these for the cost of a single AI AXSR Short Action magazine.
If anyone is interested in replicating these with their own 3D printer, I'm happy to share the STL file, just hit me up.

Besides the barrel/profile, what are the other differences between a Pre 2014 AT308 and a Post 2014 AT308?
Think the AT only goes back to 2014. The 14 AT has a large firing pin. 2015 they went to small firing pins
AX would apply here and introduced the current AX stock vs the AT stock and the quickloc barrel feature
Previous to the AT only the AW was available in that configuration or the AE. Which didn’t have the quickloc
I have a 13 dated AT. The bolt looks very similar to the AW which lacks the long flutings found on later ATs.
So, is that the easiest way to know "which" you have?
I have both a 14 and 18. I should look at the bolts of both. But both have the full length fluting. I honestly wonder if it's anything "2014 and up" and not "post 2014" i.e. 2015 and up.
The barrel profile on the 2014 vs 2018 is certainly different, but both are 1:12.
Right mine does as well. The fluting came in 15 with the SFP I think. I’d guess the 13 would be the first year production on the AT then. Same as the AXMC. I think technically with the AXMC as well it’s a 2014 production. But there’s some dated 2013. Mine was a 2013 model
My 2014 AT is a LFP model. My barrel is also thinner but I think the thicker profile or at least current profile came in 2018.
My 308 is a LW 1:12 barrel
I just bought another 2014 AT here and that is LFP as well. Same bolt design. This is a 2014 AT. The 2014 bolt is on the far left
If your trying to see what firing pin you have you can pull the pin and measure it
Something like .078” vs .063” large vs small

Meh. You learn to build steady positions quickly on the clock. And get your gear and technique sorted.
Some of the hardware / software drifts over and benefits “real world “ shooters
2” bars at 400 for the “targets are big “ crowd
Most rifles are pretty reasonable as far as versatility
I don’t shoot prs. Probably never will. But I can honestly say it has probably been the biggest influence on modern shooting equipment for everyone.
It brings the modern chassis’s we have, the huge amount of optics, calibers and barrels available. Also the actions. Basically everything most of us use has come about from prs guys who do positional shooting and swap lots of barrels.
A lot of its style transfers easily to hunting and other shooting disciplines
It also opened up an entire market of .22 trainers and second hand equipment at great prices for people to try
It brought a whole new life to centerfire and rimfire is benefiting now as well
I for one appreciate the gamer guys

I made a houso LRF holder for mine. Out of rhinorack spare parts…
It's just a 20" 308. Bought it from EO…they didn't have any 20" so I reluctantly bought a 24". Opened the box and was quite happy!
Although…I've never actually measured it lol. Maybe it's shorter?
All out. Been a long while since black have been in. Eta unknown. Thanks for the ping!
It appears that buying a spare breech ring is basically impossible as neither MHSA or Sporting Services will respond to my emails to either confirm or deny their availability/cost.
Are there any other options that I'm unaware of?

I want one as a spare and AI states it's an easily replaceable part. It's just a ring that slides into the front of the action same as what GA Precision uses on their Tempest action.
I don't get why you think that having critical spare parts on hand for a $5K imported rifle (I have 2 AT's) to ensure you can keep it running for the next 30+ years is such a crazy idea? Importation of parts for these rifles could be stopped with the stroke of a pen at any time so it seems like a worthwhile investment to me.
ETA: If nothing else I may not know how to install it but I bet MHSA does so if I ever screw up a rifle and the part isn't available I can send the rifle and the part to MHSA and have them install it.

I put a sterk knob on my tikka CTR. Which feels very close to my AI actions now. I couldn’t help but think of your AWM
So here’s my AW/Sako TRG 22 for your viewing pleasure

@hafejd30 Are we making this a Tikka's that wish they were an AI thread now?

I was thinking similar but then i shot 3 matches in a row; Saturday my 4th. My learning curve is on a sharp incline; i learn a lot, and very quick. Not to mention, i met a lot of great people. However, am i going to shoot prs a lot? Nah. My Son plans on competing though. He is young.

PRS is a good gate way drug, you learn a lot really fast.
Then branching out to field/team matches is very practical

Yep; we plan on doing a Team Safari.
I don't know of anyone ever replacing one of those rings. Jacob at RO maybe? I would still like to replace the firing springs on my AIs soon. I don't even know if they sell those are not.
It seems like it's probably not going to be possible to get a spare and I'm guessing you'll have to send in your rifles to have the springs changed as well (if they'll even do it). I'm still attempting to track some down though. I have tons of critical spare parts for my AR's and want to do the same for my AI's regardless of "the need".
AI is like Apple it appears in regards to selling replacement parts.
