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.

Was the import/export permits easy enough to sort out?

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?

To vh20 ,I think to avoid nose dive .

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.

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:

I mounted an old US optics retractable bubble level to maintain its old school shoot ability. I mounted my fix-it level and a send it level to the rifle to check the level of the U.S. optics level. I could not get the level to match the other two which agreed with each other. Are these levels just junk? I never used them back in the day. I just used an accuracy 1st level mounted to my scope.

The spring is attached to the rear of the follower. It doesn’t matter what you do to the rest of the spring or floor plate, or what angle it makes when fully extended. It can only apply pressure to the follower at the single point it is attached (the rear)

No one responded to this https://www.snipershide.com/shootin...nse-510-cal-327-gr-hvcqb-projectiles.7212483/ so it gave me a reason to buy QuickLoad. Chrono only picked up one shot, the other two may have come apart after leaving the muzzle, I'll back it down a little and try again.

Post updated with new photos. Enjoy guys. And for those curious: yes, the WMLRF diving board is in fact touching the S&B Optic. I've suggested that they get the 4mm SPUHR spacer to stop this from happening, as the SPUHR Low bridge is the right height for the scope being used, just needs a couple mils of space.

Only if no one is willing to pay that much.
You can't get a brand new AW anymore, so they are worth whatever the highest bidder is willing to pay.

You can (probably) still buy a brand new AT for less that $4000 but they are going out of production too, so don't hang around if you want one.

I really can't decide if OD or Sage green is the ultimate AI colour...

 

[HKSniper11B]

I really can't decide if OD or Sage green is the ultimate AI colour...

If I could have an AT308 with all its modern feartures that looked exactly like an AW, with classic AW folding thumbhole skin and in its proper OD Green, that would be the best of both worlds for me. I'll always feel the OD Green is a better color than the Sage Green. But, the Sage is a better color for the field.

Is that to say 12 for a BNIB AW is worth? Sorry I can't follow haha

I thought that was just a rumor that spread just before SHOT in regards to the AT? I have an AE MKIII and an AT, but desperately want an AW. I'm considering selling the AT and AE but 12k is a lot of coin. I just don't remember the last time I saw a brand new AW come up for sale.. especially with a green folder.

No sorry other than try EO or MHSA, I'm not in the US so don't keep track of who general sells them.

I'd heard the rumour the AT was going out of product so messaged Sporting Supplies in the UK who pretty much have a direct line to AI.
They said that confirmed it was going out of production and the last delivery was going to be April/May this year.

I was going to by an AT-X or the new AT-XC but upon hearing the AT was going out of production ordered an AT while I still could.

As you said OD looks like the AW so and AT with OD thumbhole skins looks old skool cool.
But sage green looks somewhat modern and still cool as hell.

Maybe just get both and can mix and match with my outfit for the day.
