If 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.
I have the axmc so my tenons are M30, but I appreciate the link.

The muzzle caps are for the tbac sr brakes and I refer to them as "marriage savers" because I designed them after accidentally getting carbon on one of my wife's dresses when getting the rifle out of the safe.

You got dresses in the safe!?
 
You need at least 2 backups each of the NV/Thermal. Naw, make it 10. Plus 13 scope backups and 6 buttpads.
Exactly

I should be able to do an M30 as well if you want?

I can see that for the muzzle brake caps as my safe is in the laundry room and I've done the same thing :(

AT308 with 24" Lothar-Walther 1:12 Barrel

I'm quite eager to switch to the 20 and 24 inch Bartlein/Wintac 5R 1:10 barrels and use some modern ballistics. What ammo and experiences have you guys had with the longer barrel 4R 1:12, and who's been able to actually source the Bartlein/Wintac barrels? They seem constantly out of stock with EuroOptic.

Everything AI I have ever pulled the trigger on has hammered like you wouldn't believe.

@pfl338 makes the M27 and M30 thread protectors and bore guides as well.

My AI AT with S&B 12-50x56 SFP PM II, AI competition trigger (1.5lb pull), with custom 26" 6.5CM barrel and AI muzzle brake and thumbhole stock conversion (how an AI should look :)) and Fortmeier bipod. This was at the annual 500 yard 'fly shoot' last year (a club competition held once a year) - unfortunately I didn't hit the fly.

I really need to try out the 178gr ELDX. I've had Hit/Miss experiences with the 168gr Hornady TAP ELD Precision. Some days it shoots great, some days it shoots like M80 ball.

For what it's worth, I have had horrible experiences with the 178 ELDx or BTHP (same bullet, different tip) in mine. Pressure signs very early.

If you want to buy a bunch of 178 BTHPs I'll sell them for a good deal. My AI must just hate them as my other rifles love them.

The factory 26" 300wm barrel is 1:10 and the 27" 300wm barrel is 1:8. Which would be better for 190gr gold medal match. Or doesnt it matter for such lightweight peasant ammo
 
Any of you rocky mountain region boys wanna rock your ai let's go suppressed only with suppressors provided if you don't have one...

I'd go with you if I was still in the region. Sad face.

This is where I'm at. Can shoot tight all day long with FGMM 175gr, but then am all over the place with Hornady TAP ELD Precision 168gr.

But the tightest group I've shot to date was with the Hornady so, I've been immensely confused.

Hornady A-MAX (Black) I'd shoot if I needed something quick and cheap. Unfortunately it's not cheap and FGMM is cheaper.

I'm gonna try the TAP ELD Precision ammo out to further distance and see what I get, and post results. A different barrel would fix a lot of my problems ... 1:12 twist really is dated.

I haven't been able to recreate this good shooting day with the Hornady TAP ELD since. Its important to note that this is with the 20" Lothar-Walther 1:12 4R barrel.

Federal GMM 175gr has been much more consistent, but simply doesn't have the reach that the TAP ELD Precision (or any Hornady ELD ammo) has with its greater BC.

Lol.

I wanted to make sure it could fit any scope profile and lazerrrrz so I don't have to use a dremel like I did on my Vortex scope and Reptilia Diving board
No honest question. Cause I have a Raptar rail on my comp gas gun and people were saying it would be too high on thar versus the low pro mount.
