Group Buys Aftermarket AI "Obsession" Chassis - Group Buy

@samb300, 2 questoins:

1. what are the odds of another run in the next 6 months?
2. What pants are your rocking with built in kneepads? I need some of those for my beat up knees during matches and maybe to get promoted at work, lol
 
So I just noticed last night that I never swapped the male catch for the stock on the left side of my AT and when I went to install it found that the corresponding screw head did not clear the comp trigger. I had to file off a little bit of it. Anyone else have that issue?

I'm working with a shop to potentially make some for the European market, with the possibility of importing some of them direct into the US, rather than having another large batch made here. That seems to be moving fast, so stand by for more information. If I get another batch made here instead it would for sure be 4-6 months to complete once I issue a PO.

I use inexpensive 5.11 Tactical pants that have an internal knee pad pocket for neoprene pads. They work well and are cheap, but don't breathe well during hot/humid months, and don't repel water. I bought a pair of much nicer UF Pro pants, but with the exact same waist and inseam as the 5.11 they fit me like skinny jeans in the waist and thigh area haha.

The kit comes with the correct replacement screw for the AT male stock catch.

Thanks for the pants info, I like how 511's fit but don't need tactical skinny jeans, lol

So the shop is in Europe? Feel free to PM if you're not ready to put info out yet, thanks dude, you're the man! Gotta get one of your thumbrests for my AI AT LE model!
 
So anyone got a lead on some green grip panels?

Uhh so, I've only messed around with my newly cured gun around the house, but is anyone else experiencing this thing being like a step change more stable over the AI AT? This is my first season shooting PRS but having the balance not on the magwell is amazing

Yup! Tune the balance point to be 3-4" in front of the mag well, and it will ride a heavy bag like nobody's business. Combine that with the forend being an inch closer to the barrel than the AT, and it makes it significantly more stable.
 
It’s been too long, but finally got home and got the AT put together. Still waiting for epoxy to cure, but should sight in/get some groups tomorrow. Thanks Sam! Great design and great package you put together!! Can’t wait to get in some matches.

Looks so clean, I love it!

How do you like the RRS scope mount? They look so sleek, I’m really thinking about one for my next optic instead of a Spuhr.
 
My AO chassis has really grown on me. I haven't been able to shoot it much bc I was Antelope hunting, then traveling for work for a couple of weeks, then caught COVID while traveling. But hopefully I'm better next week and can shoot it more. At least I've had time to process and load about 1500rds of 308W brass.
Yeah, I was afraid of that... 🤨

Haha, well 1500 should get you through for a while. Good start. Hope you feel better soon!

If anyone is on the fence about the chassis, don’t hesitate if Sam re-runs. Pictures are a bit deceiving and the chassis can look out of proportion, but DBransco was gracious enough to let me look at his rifle and believe me when I say that everything looks like a fine sports car.
No doubt that I have to try and get the chassis!
 
So much for being 1 of 40, haha! Seriously though, that's awesome Sam... I'm super happy for you!
Thanks! Yeah, sorry to decrease the rarity and collectibility of your chassis haha. This one will actually be slightly different, so there will likely still only be 40 of the exact design of the first run. I'm working on getting some to the European market more easily than if I had them made here, and the benefit will be having more made for the US market as well.
