The cool thing about @pfl338 ’s bore guides, which are used when the barrel is off (as opposed to Possum Hollow guides), is they have a solvent port built in.
(Pardon the
Cool to me, anyways.
This way I don’t make a mess as I stuff my patch into the hole…no liquid squeezes out…onto the
Mine don’t have holes. I was probably one of the first to try them. Bought a couple and he sent me a couple to try for free
They are awesome and I use them on every AI barrel. Including the spare barrels set aside. The black thread protectors above are his as well
Neat! I’ve been looking for something like that for awhile to keep the rod centred with the barrel off. I have so many possum bore guides for my AIs already though. It would be cool if @pfl338 made a universal one meant to slip a possum bore guide into, holding it firmly in place. Well, I think so anyway…

What's the contour? I ask because I just placed an order for 1.350 to 1.250 at 28".
Have you rested the rifle on bipods or tripod and applied pressure? Im no no barrel doctor, but I imagine it will make contact, because of the thickness I'm not sure how much pressure will make an effect.
Here I was having fun just lurking around. Now I’m having to ‘contribute’ again
lol1.35” for 5”. Then taper to 1.25” at the muzzle.
Need more weight to manage recoil? Hit the gym. And then add some weights… to the rifle
It is 1.35 for 5 then a straight taper to 1.15 at 34”
It doesn’t touch with it sitting on a bipod but if I put any additional load on it I can here it tap
1.5 will clear if your action and clip on rail are the same height This is 1.5” with a 5-27x56 and there’s room for aadland scope caps.
So, no exact experience with this in an AI...BUT...I had this problem in an AR that gave me accuracy fits until I figured it out. Basically had the same thing as your photos as far as clearance to the gas block, and could squeeze the barrel down by hand and get the two to touch.
Had horrible accuracy with two barrels and probably 200 rounds wasted. Never could get to keep it from shooting fliers. Finally gave up and went to a thinner barrel and .750 gas block (had been .875). Problem went away immediately.
I'd shoot it and see if I were you, especially after you invested that much. However, if you find yourself battling accuracy issues, I wouldn't put a lot into load development.
Still in stock. Ordered 2 of them. Definitely call when ordering as they work a better deal then what’s online
I’ll try them in my 22 atx and 14 AT when they arrive. Ones going to be converted to a WSM bolt. The other I plan to use as a SFP bolt for my 2014 AT

Damn you for helping me spend more of my money, lol.
I mentioned to the guy at euro optic that a guy told me he would work a deal and he gave me the same deal as you.
I ordered 2. There are 8 left, so if you want it, go for it.
Did you ask for the complete bolt above? Or just for the bolt? The bolt alone would be without the firing pin assembly
Someone can correct me if I’m wrong,
All short action AI’s use the same action. The chassis is what’s different
The early bolts 2014 and earlier had large firing pins. In 2015 models they swapped to small firing pins.
This bolt is a small firing pin complete bolt. It fits the AT, AX and ATX actions.
Mile high also has complete bolt bodies which fit the AT, AX and ATX. Euro has the firing pin assembly which is listed for AX but fits AT, AX and ATX bolts
Both also have the 1.6mm firing pins which are the SFP pins that only work in the SFP bolts and fit AT, AX and ATX
Again correct me if I’m wrong but that’s my understanding. Hell maybe this bolt only fits the AX haha. Then I’ll have to buy one of those to
You're close, however, when the AT was introduced the number of lugs on the bolt changed from 3 to 6 lugs.
Given that these bolts won't work in the AW, AE, or pre-2014 AXSA rifles.
These bolts *CAN* be used to upgrade an early AT rifle from having a LFP to a SFP bolt assembly.
Awesome thank you for clarification. My 2014 AT is a 6 lug LFP bolt and predates the 6 lug SFP bolts of 2015
My 22 ATX is a SFP 6 lug
Both bolts fit both guns excellent and only difference is the fluting on the 22 bolt
I’m assuming the bolts above (the 2 I ordered) are the same bolts as what’s in my 2022 ATX
Hoping both work in either rifle. We’ll see this week I suppose
AI appears to change bolt fluting at times. My 2014 bolt isn't fluted when chambered, however, my 2015 bolt is.
I'm guessing you'll be just fine with the new bolts. I've only heard of 1 other bolt with issues on here and I saw 1 more mentioned on Reddit from the batch of bolt assemblies that I received.
Just out of interest, if my AW bolt fails some day in the very far future, am i f*cked? Do they still produce bolts for the AW? I assume not?
I actually would like to know the answer to this as well, for academic purposes.
From what I've seen the AW is still produced for other markets so hopefully AINA has a spare parts allocation for them.
You aren't able to buy them new though in the US anywhere that I've ever seen in the last 5+ years.
Why are you guys feeling the need to buy 2 spare bolt assemblies? Even if you have 2 rifles it seems unlikely you'd have both go down at the same time and not be able to get one repaired/replaced by AI
One to convert to .535" magnum bolt face and a spare or maybe even a 223 conversion from Bugholes. Also, my 2014 AT is a LFP version so having a SFP bolt would be nice if I decide to start shooting something that requires it.
Also, getting one replaced due to something like pitting isn't all that easy as AINA customer support sucks and they aren't readily available for purchase from distributors. I've never seen this many available for purchase from EuroOptic within such a short period of time...ever.
ETA: Also, now that the AT-XC bolt is no longer compatible with the previous rifles it's like the switch from 3-lug to 6-lug bolts. Good luck finding a 3-lug bolt anywhere or even a LFP assembly for one. I think I may go ahead and order another one now actually.

2 is 1... 1 is none... New ATX doesn't use the same bolt head...wanna make sure I got critical spares
Suddenly we've gone from "most reliable rifle in the world! 100k rounds of 308 through a 1997 AW!" to "I need 3 bolt assemblies to feel safe shooting 2000 rounds of 6 GT per year
It's the dichotomy of SH.
In one recent thread I participated in I was told that everyone should have an AI because of its robustness and its ability to withstand a 2-story drop test. Contrast that with another recent thread in which people stated you should remove your scope when removing a barrel, because a 2 foot fall will kill your ZCO.
Entertaining.

You used to get good advice and responses. SME’s used to frequent SH. Those days are long gone.
