AE MK3 bolt

[swangz]

Any information on if the AE MK3 bolt will fit an AE MK2?

All AI bolts interchange...

An AW Bolt works in an AE, which is really all a MK3 is.

LoL not all of them interchange. Don't think the ATs will work in a AW/AE and vice versa.

An AW, AE Mk1, Mk2, and Mk 3 all work,

Re: AE MK3 bolt

Hi AE bolts (2 posn safety)will work in an AW but an AW bolt will only work in an AE MKIII (3 posn. safety & bolt lock).
So an AE MKIII (bolt lock) will not work in a MKII (no bolt lock).

Re: AE MK3 bolt

Where is the info about the AE MKIII? Anyone have a link?

Really so the fact I just put my AW bolt into my AE Mk 2 and vice versa and both works to include turning the Mk 2 into a Mk3 is why again... ?

I must have Magic AI that don't listen to people on the internet.

Re: AE MK3 bolt

I need a magical AE MKII that transforms into a AE MKIII, lol. Where are these bolts available, are they available?

Is there an actual engineering reason for the claim that an AW bolt will not work in an AE MKI/MKII, or is it just a liability avoidance statement?

Re: AE MK3 bolt

Sorry just went & tried it & it does go but remember there are tolerances involved & the AW & AE MKIII actions have an extra cutout in the rear to allow clearance for the bolt lock.Thus it may not work in ALL cases.

Re: AE MK3 bolt

I was told by AINA that the AE mkII would in the "near" future be upgradeable to the mkIII configuration at a price that was yet to be determined.

Re: AE MK3 bolt

I am literally finding nothing online about the MkIII. Is the AW style bolt the only difference from the MkII? Is there anything online to get the info on the MkIII?

Re: AE MK3 bolt

The AE MkIII has the same safety as an AW, 3 position and that is the only difference with the AE MkII.

Re: AE MK3 bolt

Frank could you please send me some magic dust to turn my AE MK I into an AW. It can be my late Valentines day present. Thank you.

it's very easy, buy an AW and then just swap the bolts... Magic !

Re: AE MK3 bolt

Tom, is there any word on conversion of MK II bolts to MK III configuration?
