Accuracy International: SA bolt with mag face

[NoLegs24]

@trophyhunter Did you know proof is selling 6.5 prc barrels for the AX? It’s on their website

Accuracy International Pre-Fit barrels

Pre-Fit Accuracy International barrels are quick and easy to install on the AI platform and require no specialized gunsmithing.

AWM uses the same M27 tennon as the AX/ AT/ AW's.

So, it may be for that rifle and not actual short action ones....

 

[trophyhunter]

I’d think they’re just running them in 300WM actions.

That won’t work on an AT or AX SA

but never seen one so who knows ??‍

I got a 223 conversion working just fine. Still doing testing but it should be ready to release real soon.


WSM/PRC is the next on my chopping block to do. After the 223 hits the streets the mag bolt should be very doable. Gotta change a few things like extractor then work with mags to see what feeds best but it’s definitely in the works.

I should have a “working” test bolt in the next week or so.

Sent you a PM on this, would love to have the ability to switch out bolt heads to a short Mag...

So who is currently making a 6.5 PRC Bolt Face for the AT/AX?
I'd like to get in line.

AI is making a SA mag bolt but who knows if it will ever get released. And if it does it'll be 10 years before it is released.

No one is “currently”

The SA bolt, the bolt head is just held with a roll pin correct? I dont remember.
Wonder why no one makes a aftermarket bolt head?

And ruin the Ai experience?


I know one person in my area who’s running a 7 saum AI

@trophyhunter is as far as I know, that is where I got mine and it’s been running flawlessly since February.. except I run the Lords caliber…..7saum

did Gilbert tell you he stopped?

I thought Gilbert had stopped since Bugholes is handling the 223 conversion now. I have been wrong before though.

I reached out to @trophyhunter and didn't hear back...so I figured he was not doing them currently.
Mile High has some 6.5 PRC barrels in stock...so I'm hoping to give that a try!

@trophyhunter stopped doing the 223 conversion only due to the bug holes deal but still doing the short mags

@Lonely Raven pm me if you want the gunsmith phone #. Basically you send him your bolt and he opens it up. You can get spare one from euro optic if they have any in stock

 

[trophyhunter]

We are still doing the wsm/prc bolts

Sorry we’ve been so busy at the range I haven’t had a chance to get on this site in a bit, catching up on PM’s today

338-300wsm, ThunderBeast Ultra SR on AX….short action

 

[TylerN]

I'm waiting on a backordered 2nd AT bolt to have converted to a mag bolt face by @trophyhunter. The back order wait feel for AI stuff feels like a Form 4; eventually some month in the future it will come in

What the 325 WSM should have been!

How did this work out?

 

[trophyhunter]

Works like a charm
Over 6000rds of 300wsm
Only 400ish of 338-300wsm

When my Magnus 375 arrives I’m gonna dive into 375wsm

Good to go! I've just been digging into old posts b/c if I'm ever able to snag an AT-X, I'm doing a short action magnum.. the only problem I'm having is snagging the rifle first, then I'm hitting you up about the bolt and reference on a good barrel.
