New to AXMC
What heck is SFP bolt?
Can that bolt focus on second focal plane?
Only a problem if you plan on using small rifle primers.

Not entirely accurate in my opinion. I get pretty good primer flow back into my firing pin hole using factory ammo and extremely mild loads on my 6.5 Creedmoor. If I were to try using a hotter load on my AXMC I'd probably pierce a primer.
@Tree Anything is possible, the AE might be easier than the AT just looking at pictures.
I've been following the AE in a Manners stock thread and know there is some interest.
If you or anyone else was legitimately interested, I would need an AE in hand for a couple weeks. It'd probably be best to wait until after the AT chassis gets machined so I can vet the design of that prior to committing to the AE. I'd also want some sort of commitment or commission, as the AT chassis is more a labor of love than a profit-making endeavor, and since I shoot LH the AE chassis doesn't have a huge draw for me personally unless I knew some people were on board.

I would be willing to send a donor action and chassis to be the model for this. It's currently stripped down right now anyway.
If you get enough interest and need one let me know.
So should it also work with AXMC?
I assume yes? Then I should go ahead and pre order one.
Thanks

One potential issue just looking at it again, is that the AE uses one skin panel for the rear buttstock, and one giant panel for the grips and forend. The AT and AX both use a separate grip panel from the forend. So there might need to be a sacrificial forend panel involved, or the design tweaked to use the AT/AX grip skins.
In any case, it is something I'd be willing to take a look at, maybe in a month or two.

That is easily solved with protrusion adjustment. Ran all sorts of SRP and LRP in AW's (and a pre-2014 AX) for years. Not a single problem. Just takes a little knowing how to solve things.
I've even ran them out of an AXMC. Granted, not SRP, but LRP, yes. No issues.
Personally running SA cartridges in the AXMC is not that enjoyable. I've done it twice in fact, and that was enough. Not a problem with the rifle by any means, it's just by design. It's not designed to run that way. If they had adopted what Sako did and made it where the bolt stop could be reconfigured to provide a short throw I think it would be 90 percent there honestly. I'm a big proponent of "just because you can doesn't mean you should". I am also very fond of the phrase "to each his own".
@AIAW That makes sense. Though I have to disagree on the short action part not being enjoyable. I really haven't noticed the bolt throw difference up to this point. However I am going to be running a different gun this year for most matches but that has more to do with the overall performance of the AI under the current match rules and formats.
I did end up getting the SFP bolt which should solve my primer flow issue and allow me to switch over to SRP brass in the future.

Yeah, I might have been a little harsh on it actually. I attribute it to my lack of time behind it with SA cartridges honestly.
Ahhh I see, what are you thinking about going to?
I’ve got a mag adapter in black on a Dark Earth rifle. Mine just came that way from the factory as I ordered the AXMC long action in .308. You can see the left hand side of the adapter where the mag cut out sits. I wouldn't worry about it though. I think it looks bad ass and breaks up the colour of the rifle a bit.....same with a black Spurh mount with the gun and a RAL8000 scope
I’ve noticed primer issues you’ve described and my bolt is currently at LRI getting bushed down and small firing pin treatments.
I'm kind of racking my brain. I'm going to finish off this season with 6.5 Creed and then make a decision.
Kind of have it narrowed down to 6.5 Creed, 6 Creed or 6GT depending on how things play out this year with it's release.
Oh yeah I remember your post about 6 GT now. Indeed looks pretty interesting if it delivers over the 6 CM.
Yes I do. I have boxes of 6.5 Lapua brass. But I also has some large primer brass. Does that mean I will need both SFP and LFP to shoot both?
SFP should be fine, no need for the LFP too.
I called Mike and I was in the first batch after all. A little bit of miscommunication but it all got straightened out. Not sure when the next batch arrives.
What is the part number of the SFP?
Does EO also carry it?
I can not found any info with google.

Hmm, black is actually in stock but I need DE. Wonder it might even look better with Black? I have black mag adapter and mag.Accuracy International AXMC SFP Bolt Assembly Complete, .308 Bolt Face, Black 28340BL

I am going to assume the answer is no but are the AT an AX bolts the same? Do they make a SFP for the AT?

What is your firing pin protrusion on your AI’s? I have a 2014 AX with LFP and it seems to crater pretty much everything. I’ve never thought much of it cause it’s never pierced or blown primers but if I can get it close to out that would be great! Lol. I just watched a full disassembly video and realized it’s a pretty easy adjustment. Tomorrow I’ll have to check to see what it’s currently set at and wait to hear back from you!
Just send it to LRI! New bolt is $800... LRI will fix you up for $175. Mines there now.
Looks like across an AW, AXSA and two AXMC's the protrusion varies. All within spec though.
AW - .055"
AXSA SFP - .046"
AXMC A - .052"
AXMC B - .055"
I have to give @RoterJager credit though as his post above does have a good bit of validity to it. Some people still experience issues after adjusting protrusion, so the SFP does indeed have a place. Obviously getting it too short is a reliability issue.
Helpful hint: Half a turn on the firing pin will adjust the protrusion by .010 - 0.012.
So, I’ve had and issue with the skins being too thick for my small hands to comfortably float my thumb. And with sam’s thumbrest (which is awesome in general), it makes it even thicker.
Feels like my thumb is being pushed out to the side away from the rifle.
I had pretty much decided I was just going to wrap my finger as that works fine too.
Then I watched the ASR shot release where AI said they made that area thinner for that purpose.
So, I made mine thinner. Lol
This was a test/sacrificial skin. Next one I’ll draw out and dremel up smooth. It’s actually pretty comfy.
Just another idea for those of us with small hands. And it’s just a cheap skin if you screw it up.

If it's an axmc it's a long if it's a axsa it's a short.
I have that exact part number coming tomorrow for my axmc.
Called EO and Derick said the same thing as you.
Cancelled backorder on old AI 20012 and mine SFP bolt is shipping today.

Anyone that just got the AXMC SFP bolts and want to unload the LFP one, shoot me a PM. Thanks.
Think alot of us will be running our lfp bolts on our 338's and big 30's
Yea. But not a 308 bolt... I have 338 and 300 win bolts. So guys switching to SFP bolts are using the 308 bolt. And a LFP 308 bolt is what I need.
Why not just get the SFP bolt.
The wait might be very short. I ordered last one from EO online. For just a bit more $, you get the whole bolt assembly not just the bolt body and it is floated.

No interest in paying those prices for a bolt. And I will only shoot 308 out of it once and a while. Already have a barrel that's been sitting. Don't need it anytime soon, but for guys who need the SFP bolts and bought them and now will have an old LFP as redundancy, I'm sure some will be popping up for a good price. Have other 308s to shoot if I need to for now.
Finally got out to zero the AI today. Put out this 4 round group with 175 FGMM
If it’s the same as AT/AX factory trigger, you take the screw all the way out. The spring is contained inside the trigger.
You will be left with just enough tension to help reset the trigger after firing. It will add a little weight to the pull as well, still.
You can tweak the sear adjustment to get it down a little.
About 2lbs is as low as will go without any tension on spring.
To get to 1.5lb, you’ll have to take that front spring out.
This all could totally screw up your trigger if done wrong.
Also, removing that friend spring will leave your trigger “wobbly” and loose after it’s fired until you open the bolt, as theirs no spring tension to help reset immediately.
So you can take the screw and spring out and be done, or do u have to adjust the sear? I vote for Dthomas to make a video!
Nice. I wonder if they still measure about .020 difference between the two pins?
Well..... she shoots. The 168gr fgmm seems to do all right. Need some higher rings though. Both of my gen II razors wont be here for a while so this will do until then. The 6.5 and .25 creedmoor barrels should be here in a week.
Edit: these 3 groups were rounds 5-14 down the tube.
THANKS MIKE AND MIKE HIGH!!!
