Accuracy International Picture Thread

I haven't been on this product page for a while so I'm not sure when this note was added. So, we'll see the AI parts in 2026-2027 timeframe then?:LOL:

I would do unspeakable things for a thumbhole AT in PRC.

I've had two OEM triggers break, one on my pre-14 AX and one on my AT. Mile High warrantied them no questions, but if they were overtorqued it happened at the factory or Mile High, I never moved them. I eventually replaced them both with flat bows but it was still annoying.

For someone that didn't have the luxury of living 3 miles from Mile High I can see where it would be a nightmare.
The actual shoe broke ?
 
Would like some help... Bought a 17 AIAX used that has the Gtac conversion on it. I would like a thumb shelf but understand the anarchy offering wont work with the conversion - right? Best way to accomplish?

Appreciate the thoughts

Just returned from shooting mine today. GTAC conversion along with sam’s thumb shelf. No issues at all.

Order away

They have been available for over two years …you just have to know the right people….😎 or use the search function hahah
 
I’d love to see all the objective analysis you’ve performed and data you’ve collected that distinguishes you as an SME on AI action yield strength 😉
No heavy bolt lift on a 20” 308 with lots of water in the chamber.

But it made a 308 into a belted magnum though, which is pretty Saweeet in my opinion.

It’s all public info, search the forum , Tom Irwin posted it on here a couple times
We at AI manufacture bolt heads and bolt bodies to our designs. These designs have been tested with barrel block testing to prove they are safe.
The bolt head material is a very high tensile strength steel which is also very expensive. We assemble those components to our process and every bolt is proof tested in a CIP Proof House in England. We have built tens of thousands of these over the years and continue to produce them daily.
If someone outside of AI tampers with one of our bolt heads then that is a safety concern. Our designs will have been changed, it is unlikely they have had barrel block testing and they almost certainly do not undergo proof testing.

IIRC AI did show a prototype short action rifle with a 6.5 PRC bolt, or at least mentioned it in a video/comments that it was being tested.

The difference to me, is an aftermarket bolt head versus a factory AI bolt head. Without using a similar high strength steel alloy AND the correct heat treatment, it might not be safe. Even if you took a factory 308 bolt head and machined material away so it could shoot 6.5 PRC, that doesn’t mean it’s safe.

Of course AI is going to say that, you think AI is going to take liability for other peoples work? And I was talking about a post with the actual psi number, I’ve been shooting mine as well as many others with 0 issues for over a year… if you don’t want to do it that’s fine I was just under the impression you wanted to do the same so I was going to give you some contact info like I’ve done numerous times to others looking to do the short mag conversion.. of course I don’t shoot 6.5 prc I shoot the Lords Caliber ..7 SAUM

What do you use for a magazine with the 7 saum? Modified Accurate mag?

Cherry-picked 🍒, yeah, but even as my cherry-picked groups go, it’s good for me (dislike recoil). I like this AXSA (in god’s color of course you heathens).

No rifle pics as the scope is so high I would be mocked mercilessly lol. What can I say…I like my head to be straight up and I don’t shoot prone.
That looks like the groups I just shot with my ax308. Mine was with m118lr and my attempt to clone it. First pic is clone and I pulled one left as I coughed when taking up the first stage on the trigger and pulled right through.
