AI AX308 Grip mods?

[Mr. F]

I'm very happy with my GTAC conversion. I installed an Ergo grip and it works for me, but with the relief cuts, I can swap it out for any other grip. I also installed their carbon fiber bag rider. Sorry about the pics, I wasn't thinking about posting when I took them, that's a dark earth AXMC.

So where do i get the bag rider?

 

[clubsportmark]

Same place as the grip conversions. GTAC

 

[clubsportmark]

Alan has a new one in development at the moment it would seem

 

[drcrk0525]

I’m still anxiously waiting to see what @samb300 is going to offer

 

[texag0842]

I'll be posting an GTAC with grip for sale shortly.

Ended up sticking with my AI grip

What color?

 

[texag0842]

Green,

I'll make an official post so I don't screw this thread up

 

[CIB2007]

@samb300 any updates on your secret grip project?

@samb300 any updates on your secret grip project?

 

[drcrk0525]

I’ve been waiting since March to see what @samb300 has. Can’t wait

 

[samb300]

Sorry guys, it's still in work. I'll let you know more when I have something more concrete. For some reason having a newborn that hates sleep has affected my sanity

Get some twins in there and come back and talk lol JK kids are tough I got 4 under 5.

Congrats on the new addition stoked to see what you make

 

[samb300]

Hey some twins in there and come back and talk lol JK kids are tough I got 4 under 5

Holy fuck...that's a NOPE from me, dawg lol

Congrats and condolences. I never thought it was that bad until colic was on the table. Hopefully in a few weeks/months things get back to normal a bit.

I’ve found that popping on my Sordins helps a lot.

So let your 4-year-old draw us a picture of your grip idea...

@samb300 1,000,000% man.
Young kids and high-level wives are the nemesis of productivity.... Our 1st daughter had really bad colic, it is savage, for months... Like a bad injury, over time it'll go numb then one day you'll just forget it ever happened.

I need to pick up a bag rider

Hi Reubenski,
I have a new style bag rider that fits the AX butt stocks.

If anyone has been waiting for the AI AR grip adapter that I have mentioned over the past year, we’ve finally got a machined prototype for testing in Norway.

It’s machined 7075, completely ditches the Dremeled grip skins, has a much thinner design for a comfortable thumb placement on the side, and has a Vision thumb rest.

Check it out!

 

[Adam B]

Oh damn that is sexy!!!

 

[samb300]

Sam, when do you estimate them being available? Assuming they'll ship in all the classic colors?

Christian and I are still working out the details. It is likely that due to the extensive machining time, that we will try to get a pre-sale or at least a list of names together to get a better idea of quantities.

Cerakote colors should be any of the AI matches that GCP is already doing.

Price will be in the neighborhood of $400 which includes Cerakote and a thumb rest.

Compatibility will be any AT, AX, or AO chassis with any fixed or folding buttstock, LH and RH.

Not working on the AW?

It should work with an AW, problem would be the forend stock skins. If the AW has the one piece stock sides, you’d either have to cut up those or modify AT forend stock sides.

Oh dang, that’s sweet! Will it work for the AX AICS chassis too?

 

[blbennett1288]

I see your prototype has the delete for the folding "peg garage" / "keeper socket" that keeps the stock in the folded position. I assume we'd be able to keep that if desired?

Sorry for the confusing nomenclature. Best I can do at 7:30 on my first cup of coffee

Post #306 has a picture where there would be an insert to hide that hole if you don’t want the folder secured. But looks like the folder secure tab would fit in that.

The skins have the same 2 holes on each side as the factory plastic skins. They are just shown with metal “buttons” in their place.

It’s a really cool design in my totally biased opinion lol. A design I’ve been working on for a LONG time, which started as a similar idea as the GTAC about 3 years ago, but I scrapped due to hating the bolt-on trigger guard design.

If you look in the 3rd picture, you can see how much slimmer it is than the factory skins, which gives a much better feeling profile for thumb on the side ergonomics.

(These pics were prior to the thumb rest threaded holes being machined)

 

[samb300]

I have tested the printed prototype with a variety of grips as well, and modified the design to accommodate as many as possible.

I’ll get some pics when I get the chance to print the most current version to show the MDT, MPA, and Ergo grips installed.

 

[samb300]

Not the most current design, but you get the idea.

 

[Jrb572]

let us know when you are selling them. I’d like a set for My AXMC with out the thumb rest holes

 

[samb300]

Oh dang, that’s sweet! Will it work for the AX AICS chassis too?

That’s a great question, I don’t know the answer right now but I will definitely look into it.

Is there any way you could take some pics for me if you have an AICS chassis in hand?

I think the AICS version needs a relief for the rear action screw cap head, but I don’t know if the hole spacing is any different.

 

[samb300]

Will do. Not sure about a hole-less version, it’d have to be a special request from Christian, but could be possible.

will it be available in Pale Brown or do they need to be coated

 

[samb300]

They will be cerakoted. GCP and Vision have worked on color matching all the AI colors; pale brown, classic green, sage green, dark earth, and elite sand.

Perfect. I was thinking about ordering one of those other grip mods but I’ll hold off until these are available now.

That looks awesome @samb300 You really do design some awesome stuff.

Sam and Christian,
You guys are destroying the AI chassis world, great work!
Now for the rear end…

 

[Nik H]

Count me in for a LH in pale brown with thumb rest

Let me know when

I think the AICS version needs a relief for the rear action screw cap head, but I don’t know if the hole spacing is any different.

If it helps, here are some photos of my AX AICS showing both sides, with and without skins. I’m also happy to send my AICS in for prototyping if you need someone to test them out for you. Figure there’s a big enough market for an AICS version of these kits as well. I know I’d be in for at least one.

Thanks!

Not the most current design, but you get the idea.

Have you tested with the 0° ergo grip? The gtac smashes my middle finger against the trigger guard.

 

[samb300]

Have you tested with the 0° ergo grip? The gtac smashes my middle finger against the trigger guard.

I tried my best with the design, but that’s a tough one to accommodate because it needs a long LOP (trigger reach) for there to be room. It works great with the angled Ergo, but I’ll see if I can find a 0 Ergo to test.

For reference this is the GTAC with the Ergo from previously in the thread. I believe the shape of the bottom of my trigger guard will be better.
