AI AXSR short action conversion kit? (Bonus difficulty: left handed)

[TacosGigante]

Is the AI AXSR short action conversion still expected? If so, are there any plans for a LH version (if it is handedness dependent)?

thanks

The 308 bolt? The AXSR doesn't use a conversion like the AXMC. The short action magazines are built in a larger magazine.

So is the conversion just a magazine and a bolt head?

A bolt body, magazine and barrel

I emailed eurooptic over the weekend to ask the same question (well, if the left handed 308 bolt bodies actually exist). They said they've never been in stock yet, and they're due "q3 2021" but they'll get them when they get them.

Better get on the pre-order list if you really want one.

If they are in the works...like what was said above....get your name on the list.

I got a left hand AIAT last year. The last time AI ran a left handed gun was like 5 years ago.

Same here. I got a left AIAT last year and the left AXSR recently. I'm still torn on the conversion kit for 308 though. $2400 for that vs just $700 for a barrel for the AT.

First barrel I made for my gun was in 6.5CM. Made another barrel earlier this year in 308win. Probably make another in 6GT this year as well.

Does the $2400 cost include the cost of the barrel or is that just the bolt body and mag?

Bolt - $681
Magazine - $123
Barrel - $600-$900

So $1,400 to $1,700

Idk where the $2,400 number comes from

Bolt: $681
Mag: $123
Barrel: $915
Firing pin assembly: $508

$2227 + $140 tax + $40 shipping = $2407

I guess you can skip the firing pin assembly, but that’s how I came up with $2400.

I guess you can also use a cheaper blank, skip cerakote, possibly ask for a discount, etc and get it even cheaper lol. Just adding up what the prices are online gets pretty pricey if you do a full conversion without reusing any parts.

I understand AI's are $. But apples to oranges you are comparing a cheap AT without shipping or tax to a AXMC barrel with shipping at tax. A threaded AT barrel from EuroOptics is $860. A threaded AXMC is $915

Yea so true, barrel cost isn't much different. But lets be real, $600, $900, that's virtually the same in the big scheme of things. Less than a match fee these days...
