Some member earlier this year thought he is smarter than AI and decided to use his Dremel to do some working on the cocking ramp on his AI bolt, totally fucking it up. He sold the rifle for dirt cheap. It is forever known as the 7th Axis CNC incident. I believe he deleted his post about it. Someone on here for sure has the pic of the awesome engineering he did.
Didn't happen for the MC so why should they change the behavior for the AXSR?The bolt backorder only took me 13 months, it could have been worse
To add to @JB.IC list... I never understood why AI doesn't ensure that at bolt bodies, FP assemblies and all mags for the current premier platform are not in stock at all time. Currently that platform is the AXSR, if the rifle is selling at a premium price and a key feature is multi caliber. That feature should be supported in the market with available parts that are readily available
Basically, if you expect customers to drop $10k on the rifle at least keep bolt bodies, firing pins and mags stocked up at distributors. Or, real world example... A few weeks ago a shooter that is new to long range rolls up to the range with an AXSR leftie in 300 PRC, predicably recoil is a challenge (plus cross eye dominance.) I didn't want to say it but a great investment would be a 6.5 CM conversion, but who knows if it will be in stock or how many months of wait listing it back ordering that would take.
I’m interested in a mag bolt for the ATX. This would be awesome if it works out.
Great looking piece of kit partner. My AIAW shoots like a dream. I reckon you can share with us good folks what that thermal sight or night vision is?
Thank you kind sir , AI is one of the best . The thermal is the Voodoo M by Pixles on Target.
It’s so big tho.
Nice setup, and yes it’s a bit bigger than the XII . I had one and would say this is right on par.
That's a sexy AT you have there. Makes me want to get a set of green skins now lol.
Is it sacrilege if it's rustoleum? Lol.
I’m still trying find an old school square back folder. Was to stupid to understand folders back then
Don’t let anyone fools you that Steiner is tits on an AI
This is the way
What if you aren’t afraid to paint but you possess the one true color. The elite of the elite. The color to end all colour. The sands of greatness. The. Elite. Sand.
I have an Elite Sand and two Sage Greens. I love both colors, wouldn’t dream of defiling them. But Black…? Yeah, I probably would.
Sounds a lot like you dropped some acid and thought you were looking at Sage Green. Only explanation I can think of.
Haven’t seen that much variation in color since I eyed a scar
The only thing your ES blends into is the empty spot left in your heart from getting the wrong color in the first place
YOU DON’TKNOW MEEEEEEEThe only thing your ES blends into is the empty spot left in your heart from getting the wrong color in the first place
Roses are red
AI’s are green
You may be offended
But my conscience is clean
Nope, you have that backwards. Only Poors would rattle can an AI. Kinda like curb feelers on a Cadillac.
. Just don't make your decisions about your gear so you can sell it to the next owner .
Any option other than "preserving resale value" is
Rattle can it if that's your style.
Get a custom Cerakote job if that's your jam.
Either way add your personal taste and make it yours. And if your happy with the factory color such as the delusional ES squad the that's Ok also
Negative. People who sue their rifles know they will get scratch’s and scuffs and a fresh paint job takes 5 minutes.
