Why run a garbage aics mag?
Good question sir! I have 3 of the AI 308 mags for the AXSR but got tired of the feedlip tuning and occasional issues with running shorter rounds through them.
I can build 4 of these for the price of 1 AXSR SA mag, and they'll feed pretty much anything reliably regardless of length thanks to the feedramp bridge I added. They've yet to fail me, which I can't say for the AI counterpart unfortunately.

It's not for lack of magazine budget, I assure you.

This interests me, if only for the fact that the mags are so much slimmer. I imagine these are much easier to find pouches/mag carriers to carry for ruck matches too.Good question sir!

One of the best features of AI’s is the double stack mags. A 10 rounder is the same size in length as the 5 round AICS. I grabbed my buddy’s 10 round AICS 300 WM magazine the other day. Felt like I grabbed a mag for an AKThis interests me, if only for the fact that the mags are so much slimmer.

This is the reason I've built all my non clone rifles off 3 lug actions (tempest).One of the best features of AI’s is the double stack mags.

there's no reason I couldn't make an AW version
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!Hey on the mag holster topic, last month I sent my 308 and 300nm axsr magazines to Ryan and he made some awesome holsters. You can buy them at bigdogsteel now. Here’s some pics of finished product. (One holster works with both, I just put one 308 and one 300nm in so you could see what they look like.) tekloc attachment and tension adjustable. Works on 3gun style crspeed Velcro belts great.

Also, the French leather double mag pouch from sportsmansguide.com fits AW mags perfectly.
Ah yes,Also, the French leather double mag pouch from sportsmansguide.com fits AW mags perfectly.
I dunno man. British steel being inserted into French, ah, leather, over and over again. Sometimes roughly.Also, the French leather double mag pouch from sportsmansguide.com fits AW mags perfectly.
Holy cow I gotta buy one of these! lolAlso, the French leather double mag pouch from sportsmansguide.com fits AW mags perfectly.

Hey man, just so you know I wasn’t making fun, I actually like that thing! I have some English camera bags that use that fastening system; it works well and is pretty much silent to operate.Well, the nice thing about the French pouch is you won't lose your mags. Not ideal for all situations, but there aren't that many pouches out there for AW mags, especially positive retention pouches.
If you take off the QC sticker, you won’t need the weights.View attachment 8495429View attachment 8495430
Got my new mlok 16” handgaurd installed. Should I roll with 2 weights or 4 weights? Lol
Just always left it on thereIf you take off the QC sticker, you won’t need the weights.
Don’t give into peer pressure sir! You’re an AI owner! You don’t give into peer pressure because nothing can pressure you!!! You’re a master of the range. A heroic god amongst loser mortals!!! A monster that can’t be stopped by bolt lift tension and proprietary parts!!!!Just always left it on thereI’ll take it off
Hey all,
Curious if anyone has pictures/details of an AXSA set up in an NRL Hunter-Open Heavy config (sub 16 lbs with enough barrel to make PF).
Picture as payment. Thanks!View attachment 8495710
Yeah I figure this is a hammering-with-a-screwdriver situation.It's tough to do

Is that 17.5 without barrel? If not, what barrel/length was that?My AXSA’s all weighed right around 17.5lbs with 5-25 S&B’s, Harris or TBAC bipod, and TBAC Ultra 7 so it’s doable with taking weight out of the optic and barrel, but you won’t be running a MDT triple pull or anything and making weight and it will be insanely ass heavy.
I’ve got the wheels turning on a project that should net an AI SA rifle with Proof CF barrel in the 8-9lbs range sans optic and accessories and actually balance out specifically for a hunting or NRL hunter rifle. I’ll be posting a thread in the coming weeks to gauge interest once all the details are ironed out.
@Mr. F or @blbennett1288 please pick up the light ai courtesy phone
If I did one again it would a fluted as hell 3b steel bartlein for starters for a barrel. Unfortunately probably no can.

How many times is this gonna get asked?Hey all,

How many times is this gonna get asked?
Anyway, simple to do with a AT-X running a 3B and a light scope/mount(has to be cut to about 23” max for a .750” shoulder at least for a bartlein)
No buttpad and obviously no hex key…
MDT Double
Theorem L
Picture is about .25- 5 pounds heavier than itll be after swapping some of the rear hardware and grip, ect.

Only way of rolling with the AX is using a CF barrel. I tried that too.Awesome, thanks, looks like the axsa weighs roughly 2lbs more than the ATX “base weight” so a similar setup should work. Appreciate it!
Wonder how much light the C is vs the regular ATXThis setup is right at 16lbs (without the weights)
The weight is a close estimate since I'm comparing my body weight on a scale with and without rifle.

Outfitted like that (no weights) theres no way in hell i can get my ATX under 16

Ill see id if i can find the pics of when i messed with the AX tonight
I would do a fluted 3b over a carbon every timeThat would be great, I figured I would need a CF barrel. I already have the AX so getting an AT-X just for this would be a last resort lol. Hoping the config is possible with the AX as it is more or less.
