So we now need a 223 conversion for the AXSR
Because why not
...and they said I couldn't put an AXMC magwell adapter into the AXSR... Now this opens up use of the aics mags.

I want to shoot other calibers than .308, I want to be able to drop a mag on the ground and not have the base shatter, I want greater capacity than 10rds. I could go on.
Yes, there is another member here doing 3-D printed collars that go around in the AICS magazine to adapt it to the axsr mag well.
God was with me but I decided to start drilling holes in a $10,000 gun lmao

I love the double stack AI mags. As well as the tikka ctr ones. Especially prefer them for the length. I wouldn’t want anymore than 10 round AICS mags hanging out the bottom.
Think I’d just look elsewhere for an action before I started permanently modifying my $11,000 rifle

If the factory conversion mags were cheaper/better and I didn't already have as many AICS mags as I do I would be more inclined to run it the way it came.7 axis dremel take 2

I probably would have considered collars more if I didn't already have aics mag holsters.
No advantage. The grip is the same one in the original pistol grip the rifle comes with stock. The only thing you change is the grip backstrap and the rear stock pieces. I (and many others it seems) like the thumbhole look better.
I'd still take a double stack AW style mag over any AICS mag any day of the week. It feeds smoother, way easier to load, lower profile, can load bullets way longer, doesn't sound like a cheap ass magazine when you are cycling the gun.
there is a whole thread of dudes having to mess with their feed lips to get them to run right, others had issued with plastic axsr base plates breaking. Personally I had issues with a bad mag spring, and my follower was popping out past the feed lips. My only issue is with the conversion mags, I'm sure the double stack mags work well for their intended long action calibers.
1600 yard work today getting after it before the ID dmr elr match next month
You talking about the ATX? I have probably over 10k rounds through my AW and MC and have never had a single magazine issue. Not saying that it's impossible for them to have any issues. But to drill into your rifle to use a way inferior magazine is asinine.
Yea man... I'm prolly going to have to buy one this year honestly....
Had a great trip to the US recently with a good mate. Took the AT-X in 6.5CM over, being so easy to get ammo for locally with MHSA.
Rocks and sand with Colorado Precision Rifle at the Blue Steel Ranch in NM, snow filled canyons in Colorado and finally farm fields in Missouri shooting NRL Hunter matches.
Caught up with a heap of excellent people, ate a shit load of brisket & burnt ends, drank a lot of Dr Pepper and made a heap of new mates. Love the USA.
Pueblo, Colorado - NRL Hunter a couple of weeks back.
Blue Steel Ranch, New Mexico... Shooting on MARS.
Clarence, Missouri - NRL Hunter.

What was the situation with buying ammo, just walk in and buy it off the shelf?
Did you bring a suitcase of reloading components home?

Nice. Hope you can tell your friends US is not what the internet says. It is always a Brit or Aussie runs with a snarky “gun violence” comment In every discussion online.Had a great trip to the US recently with a good mate.

The lips to hold the rounds in are in the back, the back of the case are also larger and heavier. You want the pressure to be higher in the back to be able to move all those rounds and hold them with enough pressure to sit tight on the mag lips.
Also pressure to front does little.... if you load 1 round in your mag only the middle to back make contact with the round do to a cases design.

Angry fella, its still an Accuracy International product, hens it fits into this «Accuracy International picture thread» thread
We have lots of threads for non ai's which is where this "clone" belongs LoL
Not only it's not a AI, it has a Leupold on it.
“But it takes AI mags!! Why can’t I post it here?!”
Typical non-AI owner thinking a non-AI rifle rates to be in an AI picture thread.View attachment 8396453

I had the pleasure of attending the 2024 International Best Sniper Competition as a spectator. The Irish did not disappoint. I got about three dozen photos, but this was one of the best. They told me that they're all original, right down the barrel, and that they run about 1000 rounds a year through them. Other images show that they are 1993 AWs. Scopes are the S&B Ultra Performance 6-36x. I didn't have a chance to see what reticle they were running.
Also, finally got the thumbhole stock on the AT308. I'm on the fence about the mounting solution for the EFLX though, and might go with a Leupold Low Mount + SPUHR Wilcox Rail (Diving Board).
Just some good photos worth sharing. If you guys want more photos of the AWs from the Irish Army, I'll share them. I just need to finish editing/color correcting them. UPDATE: Adding more edited photos below:
