G43X
EDIT: TBAC Bipod
I don't remember the time frame for release, it's gotta be soon, too much fun talking with Adam and JP, the details get lost.
I have an image, not great but close

yes, the A10, I was not 100% sure they called it that officially, but one of them was painted with an A10 Warthog
here are the pictures I took with Brittany's rifle.
It fits me like a Glove and gives you perfect hand placement! Marksmanship fellas, setting up the rifle to FIT the shooter.
Regina @LH_Gina knocked this out of the park for smaller frame shooters, kids, women, ME
When I was talking to Kelly, he said, Hey Frank if you wanted a smaller stock, we could have, but thinking about it after the fact, I was like, ya, but the market was much smaller then, versus today.
If you have kids or a wife or girlfriend who wants to get into the sport, great choice. Regina is doing the things other people only talk about when it comes to be a True Professional and Ambassador of the sport. She is not out there seeking glory, she is quietly working to better everything we do. I have a HUGE amount of respect for her and how she carries herself.

That looks like the same one from shot last year that I don't think was ever released unless I missed something.
The one from this thread.

@ddavis we moved the grip forward and action inlet back so it fixes an issue I've had forever and one that Britainy and I both noticed in smaller shooters and people with smaller hands.
@Vargmat it's called Skyline Carbon Ambush. Tiffany blue and cream over the carbon. McMillan has a couple of stocks with that teal/tiffany blue color including one with olive that looks pretty nice and not too over the top girlie.
@Lowlight it's officially called the A-10. The production guys nicknamed it the Warthog so they had to paint one that color. Our production manager said they'll probably do a batch of them with that paint scheme or something similar since we were asked about it quite a bit. Thank you for the kind words. The respect is mutual.

I have the dimensions at work and can get those on Monday. Essentially, we moved the grip forward about 1/2" and the inletting back 1/2". Doing that moves your hand closer to the trigger guard, but also allows more travel along the rail for a scope. Most of us trying to get closer to the trigger have our scopes as far back as the rail will allow. One of the stocks we had at the show was inletted for an MTU contour, so a light palma won't be a problem. The forend is based off the A-6 stock, but with a thinner profile to fit smaller hands. If you've seen the A-5 next to the A3-5, it's about the same difference in size.
What was it about the xlr envy? The chassis has been out for a while, but i know they released a lot of new accessories recently
They have a weighted system version, it’s got steel inserts, it’s similar but different for guys that want a heavy rifle
I have an Atlas Tensioner here, I will take a picture,
also, the other Highlight is Gunwerks, I mentioned them on the first day of the Podcast, but they are definitely doing great stuff.
They had new stocks out with 360 buttplate adjustability, etc,
Gunwerks is doing cool things

My favorite thing wa to arrive at our booth on day two and find a cup of hot coffee with my name on it!!! Again, thank you.
Kasey,
I would have had one for you on the first too, but I had to put out a Frank Fire which took a little time.
The CAL GEN 2 is about as perfect an Atlas as you can get ... and now with Victor Co ATW there is no more reason for people to complain the original Atlas is too loose.

Small to medium. We had a variety of hand sizes try out the grip and unless the testers hands were large to huge, they said it felt comfortable.
"Frank Fire", just stop with your opinions Frank.... lol
Another highlight, met this great young man at their schoolhouse like 18 months ago. He came by to say thanks for what we do and gave me this coin, I honestly never thought I'd see him again. It was an honor.

Here is some Victor Company Images on the ATW
@Lowlight
How did the JP chassis feel? Kind of a general question but just looking for someone with a hands on opinion. I'm very seriosuly considering jumping from my AX chassis to the JP. Being a lefty, the fully ambidextrous setup is a big draw for me. In an email, they said they'd offer a full length arca for it but I didn't see any pics of it.

Wasn’t able to make it this year.
Did anyone see the (I forget the name) 3D printed suppressors? Heard some decent things about them.

I'm not sure AI has plans to offer this rifle anytime soon, I called a couple of their big retailers and was told there's no SKU for the AT LE shown at SHOT, and they had no expectations that a this rifle would be available in the next year.
It’s LE only. Not sure if that changes how they do their sku or not.
Either way, it’s a simple mod that’s already available to anyone who wants to buy the kit.
The AT LE is LE Only
But I was at the MHSA Booth and Mike told a customer they can make it. You can order the AT and MHSA will upgrade the buttstock.
But the complete rifle will be like a Glock Blue Gun program wise, but anyone can have the rifle built. I think (Please don't quote me on Retail Prices) I believe it is a $900 upgrade on the base rifle cost.

I think that’s close. It’s around $800 to buy the kit to do it yourself.
Not sure what MHSA charges to do it in house.
I agree Gunwerks stuff was solid!
Aimpoint ACRO, Mil-XT, STI Sticcato, B&T APC9 Pro, light weight hunting rifles (GAP, Seekins, Gunwerks), Geissele Super Duty rifles and Kestrel HUD was really nice.
Still waiting for AI to make replacement grips for the AX (as stated in their dated catalog). Would like to see hogue do a version of their large palm swell grip. Also, waiting for a simple adapter for Manners/McMillan stocks to adjust the butt pad up and down and possibly for cant. I feel the ones currently on the market are dated and too large (fine for F Class). Something like what Gunwerks did or what JP did for the magpul PRS...?

The Gunwerks Butt Plate with the thumb wheel and 360-degree movement should really be the standard for rifle stocks moving forward, it's sweet
The adjustability is just the AI AX and really, when you consider people worry canting, movement, positional shooting, this IS the right answer from the foundation, vs adding secondary fixes that require your focus to be some place other than the reticle.

Will they be making their stocks available without a rifle build, or still only in a full build?
Their competition chassis with full adjustability and swappable grip looked nice.
