Some of us have high cheek bones. If I used a 1.5" on my AT I very likely would run out of comb adjustment.

I use Breakthrough Clean Solvent. If I had to though, I'd use Automotive Brake Cleaner. Fast and easy way to clean barrels too; a trick I picked up from Phoenix Weaponry in Colorado. Use a microfiber cloth to wipe it down. I then use Shooters Choice FP10 for the bolt and to clean/treat the barrel. It's less messy than grease.

Answer: Because you can't?
Tall scope mounts/rings still make your $5-10K rifle look like you had it assembled at the big box gun store by a guy who keeps arguing about the superiority of the .410 shotgun as a home defense weapon.
And I collect handguns like purses... not rifles.

i feel attacked.
the 410 with 3" shells is an excellent home defense weapon. why is that in dispute?
Well played Sir...i feel attacked.
It does. It don’t sit behind no cushy desk all day. It’s gets its hands dirty.
Oh contraire, I mean farmers tan, as in work, sun up to sun down…
It is a little different color combo than most. It’s good when the dirt shows!
Ah, I stand corrected then. Around here (ND/MN) “farmer’s tan” refers to the actual tan of a person, usually dark neck (esp the back neck) and forearms and white-ass upper arms, chest, and legs.
I bought the rifle used and I am trying out the tan grip it came with. I may switch back to black but wanted to give this a fair try first. That photo it looks very different in color. The reality isn’t as drastic.

! People and things that represent hard work. I live on a farm in SW MO and it gets hot 
My arms and neck just get red AF, and then I have to get little skin cancers cut off of me.
The tan only happens after my 5-6th burn.

i mean, i dont care what color it is, that it the GOAT of all grips. i make no apologies about that statement because its 100% true.
Anybody have some pics of accuracy international rifles (AT?) with heavier sporter barrels? Particularly interested in something like a #3b or #4 Bartlein, which are apparently classified as Light Bull and Bull sporters by Bartlein.
Don’t necessarily care about the brand of barrel, just that it’s a heavier sporter. If I get one I wanted to make sure my AT doesn’t look stoooopid.

Coming up on 8 weeks waiting for warranty replacement sling swivel studs for my AT.
I can’t say that I’m impressed

I’m sure it’s in the thread here already but who’s handling the warranty and who did you talk to about it besides them?Coming up on 8 weeks waiting for warranty replacement sling swivel studs for my AT.
I can’t say that I’m impressed
I’m not sure who it was at AINA that I’ve been emailing as they no longer sign emails with their name since they’d rather remain anonymous it appears.
I tried going through MHSA but they said I might as well go through AINA since they’d have to order them too as despite their best efforts to find some in their shop they didn’t have any extras.
I ordered a set through Sporting Services UK at the same time so I’m curious if those will come before the warranty replacements from AINA. It wouldn’t surprise me if they do though.
Ok. Sounds typical for AINA. I’ve used MH for several AI items (not warranty) and Kent has gone above and beyond to answer questions and check with armorers in the shop for parts I needed. That would have been my suggestion but seems you’ve tried that already
I’m assuming SS didn’t have them in stock when you ordered? I bought thumb wheel cheek piece screws from them recently and they arrived in a few days
Yeah MHSA tried and I don’t blame them as they are at the mercy of AI/AINA.
I do blame AI/AINA though as there’s no reason whatsoever that they shouldn’t have at least one (or a set if that’s how they come) of every part for every rifle that they support in stock. Colored parts like rails could just be stocked in black to reduce inventory costs.
I guess they figure that you just need to have spare rifles since you may have one down for months because of a small part being out of spec from the factory.
I know I’m ranting a bit but I just can’t believe how bad AI sucks at supporting their products in regards to civilian customers. I’m guessing if I was a LEO or MIL customer this wouldn’t be an issue and I would have had them within a week.

is want a custom action but can't afford to keep both
What's the hold up with SS UK?
The item not in stock?
My recent order with then (not to the US) took about a week to arrive.
Correct. They didn’t have them in stock so they were ordered along with a spare buttpad and set of side rails.
It seems like they are getting parts somewhat regularly from AI, so hopefully not an obscenely long wait.
It looks like a Proof CF 20” 308 AI SA barrel is getting ready to go cheap on eBay if anyone needs one.

I can guarantee that if you get rid of the AI there will be a point that you wish you had kept it
This is correct. I would keep it and figure it out. The grass is not greener.
I may not have a lot of love for AI as a company, however, my AT's will never be sold.
I’m sorry sir, your AI
score has been too low for some time. Your AT’s will self destruct in ten minutes. Please leave them on your lawn to minimize property damage.Sporting Services UK wins the race as the flush cups that I ordered have arrived at their store along with the side rails.
It's insane to me that a dealer can get parts faster than AINA.

Yeah. The stuff I ordered from SS showed up in good time. I prefer dealing with them vs AINA.
...and the market for Remington action clone AICS chassis variants shows no sign of slowing down.....
Whew! Good thing AI doesn't make these anymore....they wouldn't want these guys losing out on this cornered market...
Accuracy International AICS 2.0 LA Mil Issued MK13 MOD 5 Chassis, IMUNS | eBay
This chassis was part of the limited release of military surplus ones 4-5 years ago. It has seen clear use, and based off of the IMUNS and wear was likely a Navy SEAL issued chassis. IMUNS is the correct “M” marked military version, and is as issued with the chassis.

MK13 guys: "Look at my fake AI that I paid more than a real AI for, so it looks like the fake AI the government has."
I know I'll get heat for this, but paying anything close to an AI for any clone that uses a R700 is just asinine.
