Hopefully even more so, since they're getting the improved design. You're stuck with last year's model, the outdated turd hahaIm excited for everyone getting theirs. Yall are going to love it as much as i do.

Bummer...I hope it comes on Friday and isn't delayed. Unfortunately with the Holiday weekend some of them are getting pushed to Tuesday. I know the Ground option was 4 days to the west coastFedEx had mine arriving Friday. Now they say Tuesday. Either way I can’t go get it in and installed
Not the end of the world. Friday would be awesome. But I work all weekend. And wife is off Monday so she will want my full attention so it will be Tuesday before I can do anything but drool all over it anyways. I’m just excited either way. As I’m sure you remember when I first messaged you. I bought the AI for your chassis lol. And I couldn’t be Any happier that I didBummer...I hope it comes on Friday and isn't delayed.

Huh? That’s really odd. I think 4 days was the longest that FedEx showed, I can’t imagine why it would take that long. I hope it gets updated with better news.Lucky. Mine got pushed back from Friday to next Thursday. 4 times it got pushed back.
The bottom of the forend has M-Lok, so you will just need an M-Lok picatinny rail.Is there a way to mount a pic rail to attach a bipod or is the arca rail the only way?
I received my chassis today. Looks awesome I’ll have this thing together later tonight can’t wait to get it to the range.
edit.
From start to finish it only took me 45 mins to do the conversion. Sam made the instructions super simple.
Dude, I’m telling you black is the sleeper color, for sure. It looks incredible.damn, that black looks fuckin ( o )( o ). makes me question getting the FDE. Glad you got it together. Youre going to fall in love with your AI all over again.
The washers should be flat. My suspicion is that when they were removed/pried out of the epoxy during de-bonding that they got bent. As long as the old epoxy is cleaned off prior to re-assembly, I think you’d be good either way. The torque on the action screws during assembly should be more than enough to flatten the brass washers back out. If you really want new ones I believe someone said Mile High has them in stock.Damn, these look good.
I have quick question regarding the brass washer. I notice they have a slight conical shape, they are not completely flat. Does the orientation matter for assembly? I didn't pay attention to this when disassembling and I don't see a difference in the mating surfaces.
If they are punched and have a sharp edge of "flash" on them, you could always lightly sand them on a flat surface with some sandpaper.These are brand new from Mile High and it does look like they are stamped, which causes it. The ones I removed also looked slightly conical too with slightly more epoxy on one side. I know they are brass and should flatten pretty easily, but I wondered if the torque of the action screws would be enough.
Sounds like it's not an issue, I will just keep them facing consistently when I assemble it.
On another note, has anyone considered using a tapered applicator syringe to apply the epoxy. That way you can get a nice consistent bead everywhere you need it. Or is the epoxy to thick to be pushed through even a larger opening of the syringe?

Those are the exact ones I tried with the lower viscosity plastic-steel epoxy, and still didn't care for them in this application. I think the aluminum putty is even thicker and will be more difficult to apply with the syringe, until you open the tip up so large that more comes out than you want.If you go the syringe route, I would recommend "West System Epoxy"" syringes found online at West Marine or most any Marine Store, the tips are easily cut to provide the perfect application bore size and angle.

In any case, try what you think will work best! Chances are it'll be fine. As long as you don't go overboard in the Quick-Loc barrel retention area (make sure to tape off the ID of the barrel tenon threads on the action!!!) you'll be good no matter how you apply the epoxy.
Sam
Still unsure if I will or not, but I’m making a list of interested people. If you haven’t already, shoot me a PM with your name and contact info and I’ll mark you down.Couldn’t get stuff sold fast enough to jump on the bandwagon... maybe I’ll get lucky and Mr. Sam will do another run... HURRY UP!
Hopefully you get it today!Well FedEx moved my order again. At first they moved it to Wednesday, But then they moved it to today. So im pretty excited today now.
you're not the only one. I promise ill be posting photos soon as i can. lolHopefully you get it today!
And am I the only one that’s disappointed that no one is posting pics of the assembled rifles???
Looks great man! And thankfully it looks like I did the math right on the 16.5” barrel hahaAlmost back together. I would highly recommend fully watching sams videos then doing it. I didn’t do that. Lol. And not working with the video.
Also do the butt stock first.
I did get it all together in time. But I think the Florida heat just helped the epoxy cure faster so it was close on the butt stock.
Sadly I can’t get it all back before bed. Hopefully tomorrow after work I’ll have it fully back together and get some good pics.
btw Sam did a awesome job labeling everything. You definitely went above and beyond.

I apologize for just throwing out the full install videos. I was intending to edit them so it’d be easier to follow along with, but that stuff isn’t my thing and I decided to be lazy and leave the uncut versions instead. Definitely better to watch the video first; following along with it will be very slow.
I still wouldn’t recommend doing the buttstock first, since that will really throw the balance off to the rear and make it more difficult to assemble the chassis to the action.
For those that dont know, in reference to the artwork in the background of the above photo shoot, A-ccuracy obsession C-hassis' A-re B-eautiful.Well I got it together. And I couldn’t be happier with the results. That being said. I want everyone to know that hasn’t installed there’s yet. Reinstalling the magazine catch is the hardest part of the entire thing. And @samb300 really made it easier with the assistance of the instal pin he put in with the other parts.
now I just can’t wait to get to the range and hopefully a match soon.
hahaha thats right. I did my best to keep that stuff out of the background. Sadly it was everywhere and made it quite difficult.For those that dont know, in reference to the artwork in the background of the above photo shoot, A-ccuracy obsession C-hassis' A-re B-eautiful.
Looks great man, thanks again for the support throughout the entire design and manufacturing process.Well I got it together. And I couldn’t be happier with the results. That being said.

yeah I again didnt fully look at everything. And I struggled and struggled until I finally looked and found the installation dowel. And then it took like 5 seconds. lol.. Of course I was in a time crunch to install it all. So that made it take even longer lol..Looks great man, thanks again for the support throughout the entire design and manufacturing process.
The mag catch is a pain in the butt for sure, the installation dowel hopefully helps. It’s one of those things that you either get on the first try, or it takes ten times and you’re swearing the whole time haha
So were the pics taken in a shoot house? Or do you just live in a REALLY bad neighborhood hahayeah I again didnt fully look at everything. And I struggled and struggled until I finally looked and found the installation dowel. And then it took like 5 seconds. lol.. Of course I was in a time crunch to install it all. So that made it take even longer lol..
and your welcome for the support. But Thank you 1000000 times more than that for designing this chassis and making it happen.
Its the last remaining building on a old Air Force Fuel Depot. The city I work for now owns the property, however kids are always trespassing and doing graffiti on the building. Actually the area is a low crime rate higher class community. However you know how teenagers can be.So were the pics taken in a shoot house? Or do you just live in a REALLY bad neighborhood haha
Labor Day has messed things up, but the shipping times to the West Coast have sucked! There are a couple going to WA state that claimed 4 days ground, and are now being estimated as 7 business days.My kit will be here in three days and will post pictures soon after. FedEx also changed my arrival date possibly because of the Labor Day weekend. Can't wait to get this thing together. Thanks Sam!
Certainly seems that way. I’ve had good luck with them in the past, that’s why I’m surprised by the flip-flopping delivery dates. The other thing that sucks is that when I dropped them off at 8:05am on Tuesday, they didn’t actually get picked up until 5pm.Fedex Ground - when it absolutely, positively has to be there whenever we feel like it.
For those wondering. I installed the large weight and the bridge. Gun weights 20lbs 2oz with my 26” 65cm barrel.
Seems a little to front heavy to me right now. But I need to actually get it on a barricade to really be sure.How does it balance in that configuration?
