Best,

it fits just as you would expect - locks up with no play. holding in hand it feels lighter than stock original. integral arca is nice to me in that it allows you to get a slightly lower shooting position vs bolting an arca onto the stock forend. i think for the moment he just has 0 moa (flat) rail sections. the photo of mine is a flat rail on the handguard vs. a 20 moa rail on the action. i'll see how it runs at interim distances with the pvs 30 later this winter. right now its still hunting season and im using a different setup while i wait for my cans to get out of jail for my AI setups.
Is your stock hand guard rail 20 Moa? I looked at mine and it looks like 20moa on the action but 0 Moa on the factory handguard top rail ?
99.9% sure its 20 moa, but i'll double check when i have the chance. it can be faint, but i believe its written on mine. i know it is on my axmc and another 30moa rail that i bought thats 13" to let me try one of my 13" rails on my axmc
Thanks I see that on mine now too. Was looking at the left side before and couldn’t eyeball the taper. Looked flat
Forgot I took this.
Can see the difference in colors between the two, both in the shadows and the direct sunlight.

Dude, those rifles are way too CLEAN!!! Do you even gun, brah?!
Out deer hunting this week.
Quick questions: 1. does the brown match AI FDE or AI Pale Brown? 2. is it possible to get a full pic rail on top? No reason other than the fact that I prefer the aesthetic of a flush rail from the receiver all the way through to the rail.
Congrats on a cool product btw.
Would like to ask the group who shoot an AXMC in a magnum caliber a question
Do you use the AI brake or did you switch. I know they are different threads but just wondering how effective people find the AI brake. I think it works well but have not shot a large magnum caliber previously. The only experience I have is my 419 Hellfire that is on my AT chambered in 6.5CM.

I believe you know my policy....Suppressed or not at all ?...
With that said the few times I shot a stock ai brake, it was decent for recoil reduction.
I am using the stock AI brake on the original 338 LM barrel and I think it is very effective. I should have a custom 338 LM barrel with a 419 Sidewinder to compare with in a week or two.
I like your policy but can't indulge the itch unless I move which isn't happening right now. May buy some land in NH which would allow it.
Born a Yankee....always a Yankee
Well I had an AT for a while, but traded it off and regretted it, I was finally able to trade into another AT, thanks to another hide member. I am looking to get out and put some rounds through this rifle soon. The best part is my 5 year loves that we have similar rifles again, his is an AIAW replica airsoft rifle topped with a vortex pst scope.

Ha....we are all imperfect my friend....yankee means many things to many people but we are as patriot as patriot can be
Calm, slightly overcast 10 degree day in Upper Dakota. Good morning for a 200 yd. dot drill. All of my LR rocks are on minimum maintenance roads that have yet to be cleared, so went to the local range.
Rifle worked great, shooter sucked, these old eyes are catching up to me. Tried out a pair of Magpul patrol gloves, think they'll be O.K. after some breaking in. The moving blanket shooting pad is low rent, but sure breaks the frost from cold concrete.
Weather forecast for next week has some minus 0 days in it, hope to get out a few more times before that stuff lands. 10 degrees with little wind is one thing, -10 with a breeze is a new world.
Later.

I use it on my competition trigger that is on my AI AT. Love it.
I also tried it on the standard trigger on my AXMC and didn't think it was an improvement
Got to finally put some rounds through my 6.5 AT. Really promising start, the Sig 140SMK did much better then I was expecting. The Barnes 112 Match Burners factory did really well and the Hornady 140ELDM reload I had left over did excellent except for one flier.
Hornady load only looks like a 3 shot group but 4 of the 5 are in the 2 hole cluster and the flier is up top.

Has anybody threaded a 22-250 barrel on one of these? Curious about feeding in the AW mags if it needs a spacer. Thinking of the ultimate prairie dog rig.
The rumbling dwarf has swapped over to an AI eh? No more Curtis. I feel like everyone I know in Utah is swapping over to AI's...
Good morning at the range with the new to me 6CM
I have a 22-250 barrel for my AT. If I try to fill the mag I get feeding issues but 8 seems to work ok.
I shot this AI before my Curtis. I actually bought it near the end of 2015. When the comp trigger came out I went back to it.
Regarding removing the bipod block for weight savings but not having QD anymore... a solution is to just get two Teflon insert 0.8x5 nuts as backers. It’s working fine for me so far.
I want to share this article that I happened upon. It went into more depth on AI’s history than others I have read. A pleasure to read. It illustrated the key role of Mr. Tom Irwin, who frequently visited SH in the past, a real gentleman.

Finally took the AI on her maiden voyage to a local match over the weekend. Rifle performed like a champ.
Getting ready for a good 2020 shooting season.

This rifle is solid, does everything you ask - Very happy.
Factory Hornady 140gr ELD-Match @ 2788fps from the 24" proof. 3 rounds, 100 metres, cold bore with approx 600 rounds since the last good scrub. Normally this ammo sits around .5 MOA, sometimes it gives something special but never blows out. They are exceptional rounds from a box.

Just to help with quicker magazine changes. The base plates are welded on the AW magazines. Definitely non-essential, a hangover from pistol shooting. Makes a difference though, worthwhile on one magazine.
