I prefer green over tan (or black) due to experience in the USAF. All the good TDYs in my unit (higher per diem, interesting assignments, etc) were to places where you wore green cammies and your gear was CARC'd green, the tan was to the sandbox and the suck (General Order 1, burkas, gaiboi TCNs). Since then I've always gravitated to anything green if it was an option.Is there a reason why black isn't as popular a color? Does it heat up too much in summer matches? Boring and plain?

Speaking of colors, anyone here ever send their AX off to be cerakoted? I don't know much about cerakoting as I always used spray paint, but I'd think it wouldn't be safe due to the action being bonded. Is that right?

It was discussed earlier in the thread but the temperatures needed to cerakote could potentially debond the action.
@sjc929 had his cerakoted though and it hasn’t seemed to be an issue
Hey, there's my LH AX in the background, along with my former LH AT (now my buddy's).Mine
No I haven’t yet. Now that Michigan has the MPRSC I probably won’t need to.Hey, there's my LH AX in the background, along with my former LH AT (now my buddy's).
Do you shoot any of the WI matches?
@MysizeisMAGNUM
I just ordered an AT and noted this post. MHSA has the conversion for $904 "installed." Is this something a reasonably skilled person can accomplish without having to ship a rifle to MHSA? TIA. Apology if I haven't read far enough back in the thread for the answer.
There's a detailed thread on it HERE.@MysizeisMAGNUM

There is a thread on the installation in here somewhere. Doesn't look hard at all.

Basically if you have "normal" gunsmithing tools (vice, deadblow hammer, heat gun/propane torch), you'll be fine.
If you're ordering the AT from MH then it probably would make sense to just have them do it if their installation cost is relatively small.

It was really simple, this post was really informative also (https://www.snipershide.com/shootin...-rifle-ax-butt-conversion-pale-brown.6919323/)
As far as purchasing the AX buttstock i made an offer on Scopelist and it was a pretty good deal. I couldn't get really comfortable behind the AT buttstock. I'm in heaven with the AX buttstock!

Sorry bro, I too came close to ruining my life and going Army - luckily an Uncle in the service set me straight. At least you've proven the damage wasn't permanent and you can make good choices by buying yourself an AI, good job!As former Army, don’t ruin my experience of looking at my beautiful green AX and thinking of the Air Force....

What do you use to clean up residual bonding agent?
Anyone else having issues with the bolt not picking up 6.5 CM ammo? It seems like either the ammo is hanging up in the magazine or they aren’t fully seating on the feed lips.
This does NOT happen when I’m aggressive with the bolt throw. Only when I’m trying to be gentle.

Take the spring/follower out and post a picture of it or count the points on one side of the spring. I have this issue with one mag and no others. It's a different spring and I had sent it in to AINA, they returned it with the same set up but not the exact same spring. Still has the issue but only on the last round with the 308 barrel that's on it at the moment. Haven't tried it yet with the creed but I bet it's the same deal. The sage one is the one with the issue. The longer spring.

Well, I tried my second magazine. I instantly recognized the cartridges hug the feed lips, and no wiggle on the front of the cartridge. It fed perfectly. I wonder if the feed lips on one of my mags is out of spec. I didn’t see an issue with 308 ammo.
For people stressing about the bonding material between the action and chassis... 2018 AT here we pulled apart with an electric heat blower to put in an MPA.View attachment 7071135
