    I have a 95 AW. I like the 1.0 skins but would like to try the viper skins or the new AI skins. I am not sure if AI is making them for a 1.0. Could someone send or post pictures and measurements of the hole spacings. I have a machinist friend who says it should be no problem as long as he knows where to put the holes. I have removed my skins. There are no holes for mine to be updated by adding helicoils for the thumbscrews or holes for the check rest. Any help is appreciated.

    First hole is 5.8235" to the center from the back of the receiver.

    Holes are 1.808" CTC and measure .247" dia.

    Cheek piece pins are .235" dia.


    Mine is a 2.0 so, I don't know if that would change anything.

    Ok I've contacted Mile High and AINA and they say they can not upgrade the chassis to accept a check pice. Any smiths on this site that would?
