I’m with you and I’m exactly the same place. My Axsa also shoots lights out.
Proceed with caution. Take a gander at this thing:
ARCALOCK Rail for AI AX
Over the years we have seen a lot of Accuracy International rifles at matches, and every time we’ve been annoyed watching shooters try to navigate the big plastic booger in front of the magwell. After ending up with a Pre-14 AX ourselves and immediately taking it apart (obviously) it was time to...

First off, must be fun to hold that sawfish-like hedge-clipper with one hand and have it slip.
Me in happier days, sawing through the seven seas
But I know you’re not gonna make a
Secondly, uh, maybe not the best looking thing I’ve ever seen?
Pic only shows up on 419’s site if you select something in the drop-down
Agreed. In my humble O the AT-XC looks just ok-ish when it has the top rail cover installed.
Don’t remember if I have seen the AT-X with it on but I believe it’s the roughly the same chassis (except for the action interface and maybe other small details).
Also, one more pic and vid of that Area 419…thing…for the @CollarChoke man:
The AX (or AT) with a vision front end looks more like I wish the AT-X/C would’ve turned out.
I think this is @samb300 ‘s site? It has the vision rear end too, but you get the idea.
Some of what I believe is samb300’s own gun, again also with the vision rear:
Sorry if I’ve misattributed.

I think it looks best with the enclosed forend.

Introducing the AI Obsession Chassis
Some of you may remember a few years ago I drew a concept for an "AIAC" competition chassis for the current AI rifle platform. Nothing ever really came from that outside of some good conversation between fellow AI fans and competition rifle shooters. That concept has been a bug in my brain...

Its not. Just wondering if there were certain contracts that required 1" difference or just generally wondering why. Usually its 20" and 26" or 27" in their calibers. Not both 26 and 27
Yeah I’m looking at that one too but my problem is the brown is closer to pale brown and not fde, and there are 2 less mlok slots and none close enough for a mlok quiver too. It’s a far reach because of the design. I have the SAP one but I like the design of the hoptic with mlok. I want to load them with weights.
It’s not just 300WM. A few years ago I ordered a standard-issue 27” 300NM replacement barrel. When it arrived I noticed it seemed a bit short. I bought out the tape measure and sure enough- 26”, not 27”. Good thing I waited 3 mos for the wrong barrel! Anyway, they got it straightened out and I had the correct one in about a month.
Totally get it. I think the AX looks very cool. But like high heels, not the most practical all of the time.
For me, a bench shooter, I wish the AX worked better in an X-shaped sand bag. Attaching the included pic rails on each side helps, but my AT works quite a bit better as the forend is fatter starting at the bottom. Fits more snug.
That’s why I’m in the process of selling my AX.
But as a fan of the French FRF2, I just think the AX is cool.
FRF2 in action. See that AX-like angle in front of the magwell?
For the role it was in, I like where the bipod mounts as well. Not sure how the soldiers felt about it.
Was out last night hunting for groundhogs and possible coyote. Seen neither, just a fawn that was drastically undersized for this late in the year.
The AW/AT/AX Vision forends are soon to be discontinued....
Snap them up now if you want them!

There's an absolute ton of fawns in our area this year, lots of doubles and triples. Sizes varying dramatically. That one doesn't look too small. There will need to be lots of herd thinning this year.
I was just talking to a friend about this too. In the PNW I was still seeing fawns with spots last weekend.
As far as I'm aware
Give Chris at Spartan Refinishing a call.. I don't know if pricing has changed.
Yall think it’s overkill to buy another bolt for axsa when they come back in stock. I’m starting to realize it’s hard to source parts for this platform since it’s discontinued.
I guess I’m worried that one day something happens to firing pin or bad primer and then I’m stuck with a $6000 paper weight if and when stuff ever comes in stock. And maybe it doesn’t. What would be my options then? would I have other options like gunsmiths being able to fix bolts and firing pins or SOL?
Not sure what other failures I could protect against too.

The grey ops weights were a little tight on some of the bipod knobs. The knobs could always slide by if they were in the correct orientation. But it never bothered me too much
I've got the Sawtooth Dependabilt weights to use on the new AT-XC.
Dibs? Could try swapping biggu for smol.
Edit: M6x1.0 thread, Area 419 knob for Bergara/CZ457 will fit. See: https://www.area419.com/product/419-bolt-knob/

Always have a spare. No one is coming to save you. One is none and two is one but because two is one that means it’s none so you must get three because that means you have two that become what which is actually none plus the third which means two but ultimately means one which is none so get four so you can have two sets one one which are actually none.
Yees a spate rifle. Cause them parts prices insane
Speaking of.
If anyone has this axsa I need to buy it back. It needs home.
Might as well just round up to an AXSR am I right.
Just because they aren't available for sale doesn't mean that MHS doesn't have spare parts like firing pins, etc. They have to since they are the US repair center.
It is highly unlikely that a damaged part will render the rifle a paperweight. If this were the case, we would have heard about it for certain.
There’s a lot of the AT/AX/ATX actions in circulation and many used by LE. I highly doubt they’ll abandon the parts for those
But will they repair dirty commoners’ rifles out of king’s men’s supply?
A complete bolt assembly, trigger, and lock ring would cover the major show stoppers you could realistically encounter. Anything that those couldn’t fix would either be major like a damaged receiver or minor like a lost screw or something that could be source elsewhere or fixed by a competent gunsmith.
MHSA doesn’t have lock rings so you’d be SOL for that unless AINA happens to have some. If they have to order them it’s a minimum of 12 weeks.
They’re $325 each in case anyone was wondering.
Why you should own 5 ai's who cares about breach rings
If ya’ll are actually shooting your shit you might consider spare barrels. In as many caliber conversions as you can handle.
Gratuitous Range 4 picture with another barrel.

I only have 4 bolts and three barrels. I’ll see myself outIf you have a 3D printer I designed some thread protectors you can print.
I should do a 5/8-24 as well…maybe later today.
