AI AX308 Feeding 6br

I just got the barrel and will be breaking it in here in a couple days. I will post that video.
Not being a smart ass, but why would it not eject empties?
That will be more of a rifle bolt issue? Don't you think?

I've started playing with a Dasher barrel on my AX and every once in a while it will flip the case around and land back on top of the mag backwards. It only seems to happen sometimes when I run the bolt back very fast.
Well I’ve run mine over 240rds and have yet to have a failure. I can’t see how the cases stays in the mag or action when operating the bolt fast. Mine literally shoots out several feet. Only way i could get it to fail to extract was on a very VERY slow extraction. And I’m talking like 20secs to move the bolt back. Which in real life would be retarded. I have placed the round on top of mag, feeds fine. With 1rd in mag and feeds fine. 10rds in mag and slow feed, feeds fine. Even with the action tilted at full atlas tilt and adding a 1” spacer under leg it still feeds and extracts fine.
Don’t be afraid to try this, it works for everyone I’ve tried my barrel and mag on in my club. It’s not a gimmick or trick as I make shit from this. It feeds fine, don’t worry about the skeptics, buy the mag adapters, get a barrel.

The latex gloves are because I have little kids that I was going to cook dinner for. I'm scared shitless to expose the 1 year old to lead.
I may do that, mine is in Dasher, I’ll probably just pull the bullets a tad, seat to jam and fireform, then have brass.
That's expensive as hell. The least is a box of 50 for 100. That's 2 bucks a round, but you'll have brass. Lol.
True, but BR brass won’t be available till mid March. I’m to anxious to shoot this thing to wait that long. I have some on backorder but want something to shoot in the meantime.
How were you chambering them (into what barrel) what did you use to seat the case in bolt ?
Can you post a video ?
What kind of rifle was this ?
I guess I’m not familiar with a AW style mag from ARC.
When you would feed what were you using to seat into bolt body ?
sorry guys either im getting old or im just mot getting it lol
i order from PVA:
put together/load them into my post 2014 ax308 already chambered in 6mmbr (dave tooley), and hopefully run fine.
all things being equal.

Did you have to modify the feed lips ?
I don’t see how AICS mags fit in an AX or AT without modifying something.
Aics were made for the chassis system.

The mag spacer works fine in a AW mag, don’t know what all is involved to make AICS mags work, asked a friend and said need to modify feed lips cause they hit the bolt body.
ok ill try again...still trying guys bear with me
a AW mag will fit good enough in a AI AX308 (not chassis)
i buy a aw mag (not the single stack old school ones), buy the PVA spacer/kit for the AW mags not the AICS mags, modify lips a little if needed for fit.
hopefully i get it this time

Sorry Brian, didn’t know you were asking. Yes, AW mags are what AX & AT Rifles run. AX mags run fine also, just have a small lip that was designed for the ax or something (not all that sure why). Buy your typical AW & AX mag, buy the spacer, does not come with follower & spring, it’s just a spacer. Cut your existing follower as per instructions, snap the spacer in the rear of mag, install follower, go shoot. It really was very simple, except installing spacer, it was real tight, which was good but still had to force it in. So far my rifle is running fine the few times I’ve loaded up my ammo. Today or tomorrow I should be getting 100pcs of brass that I intend to fireform by the weekend.
Aics mags do not work on a at and ax. You’re incredibly confused or have no idea what you’re talking about.
I know that the AW mags work in the AT and AXMC and the AICS mags do not work. Will the ARC mags work in these rifles ? I know they have been proven to be unreliable for many users regardless of the action being used (AI, Surgeon, Rem 700, Bighorn, etc) but I am curious if they will fit in the magwell, lock into the action, and allow the bolt to move freely. Tyler Kemp has made a new follower that is supposed to make the ARC mags work better so if they fit in the AI rifle series, it may be another viable option.
You sir are absolutely correct, you never said AICS, I misread your post. My apologies.

How did it work out in the end? I have an axmc getting 6bra barrels spun for, bolt with sfp and HRD gear modded mags. Crossing my fingers it will feed and eject...
Me too...specifically wondering how this will work with AXMC..I think there is a long jump from the feed lips to the chamber...
Yes. There is no real geometry difference in the AW and AX/AT actions that would cause there to be an issue. It honestly is a mag issue, not an action issue. I had 3 AW mags with various kits that fed dasher rounds maybe 85-90%, now have 2 that feed 100%. Only difference between them was the feed lip adjustments.
Shit.. reading comprehension fail. I thought u were talking about AW mags with the PVA kit. Youre refering to ARC mags. I would still think yes they'll work though. My suggestion would still be get AW mags and kit them with either PVA or HRD mag kits for BR based cartridges.
The ones that work best with that kit for me had been the SKU AI-Mag-6677 type with No issues.
