Is there a difference in the skins between the Remington replacement AICS stocks and the AE or AW stocks (besides the two screw holes)? More to the point....can I just buy regular AW or AE skins and put them on my AICS stock?

Re: AICS skins
If you are good with a dremel or can otherwise cut a few straight lines, a set of AW skins can be modified to fit an AICS. IIRC all skins start as short action AW skins and are then modified to fit everything else.

Re: AICS skins
yes sir, the skins are all the same but with the AICS there are (4) modifications done to fit the AICS:
1. action screw holes are machined in for easy access and so you do not have to remove the skins to install the weapon platform into the AICS, allowing you have a 4.5" or longer 3/16 allen bit to properly tighten and torque the two action screws of course.
2. bolt release on the Remington is in the trigger group so there needs to be a relief machined to allow access and not to bind the operating area.
3. bolt handle guard section on the AICS is a squared alloy area just forward of the safety which requires a "squared" section machined out to allow installation.
4. safety lever relief has to be machined down to allow operation of the Remington safety lever due to location.
If you have a set of skins you can either have them modified for the AICS or order a set ready to go.

Re: AICS skins
Order from who? I tried to get a set from SRT supply and this is the answer I got.
Accuracy International does make skins for the AICS Cassis. They are only available for their rifles. Thanks!

Re: AICS skins
well if you read that statement it is clearly a little contradicting but no worries. I would recommend you contact Mile High Shooting Accessories, POC would be Jamie, and they have some instock depending on the model and color.

Re: AICS skins
Welcome, SRT did have "AICS" skins instock as well but I would assume they have since sold out on those. Either way, two great distributors and both are hide vendors. best wishes.
