ACCURACY INTERNATIONAL SPARE PARTS IN GENERAL

[Edsel]

Just got a bit concerned about spare parts.

For instance, I had this superficial, random thought of switching the stock sides on my AT rifles to a different color...

...only to find that some options are no longer available.

Will these rifles effectively be orphans soon, with all the newer models popping up?

Barrels won't be an issue, and I imagine ejector/extractor of at are same as newer models.

How about things as mundane as stock sides?

I keep an extra stock trigger for my AXMC, but I would consider keeping a spare bolt body and firing assembly as well.

You probably won’t find new stock sides easily, if at all. Rear AT thumbhole kits show up once in a while. I found some at https://www.sportingservices.co.uk/collections/rifles some time ago (6+ months).

I definately do not see them as often as I used to. Likely need to keep a sharp eye and snag em when you can.

I wonder if these are ITAR items, though.

I really doubt it. I’ve bought the thumbhole skins from them with zero probs.

Parts are hard to come buy I've found... Especially being in Australia.

Try to buy another bolt that you can harvest critical parts from in the years to come if need be.
(A complete bolt with firing pin mechanism is worth considering).

Action screws you shouldn't need but are good to have.

Buy a spare trigger if able.

Stock sides, buy what you want whenever you see it because things are becoming scarce these days.


This way you can at least keep a rifle running if needed while you organise to have it serviced.

honestly, probably. Then again the AT is a model I think some agencies still have in service for whatever reason, so they may continue to make small amounts of parts like skins or bolt heads, etc.

I don’t see parts going away. To many of them in circulation with Mil and LE. You can still find parts for AW’s even. The AT/AX/ATX share all parts except the chassis.

Never hurts to have extra parts on hand

You may however see longer wait times for parts or have to send for warranty repair etc.

Then again with new models maybe older parts will become more available. It wasn’t long ago you couldn’t find a spare bolt for the short action. After release of the ATXC we’ve seen a decent run of extra bolts already through euro, MH and Mountic for the AT/AX and ATX
