Would you guys be interested in a even lower rail that is steel with low profile high grade hardware? Kind of like the factory AE rails.
Ok. My three barrels factory .308 24",Dave tooley .243 24",&dave tooley .308 22". The factory barrel and the .243 are maybe 3mil apart. Now the tooley .308 is about 10 mils different. Barrels are not perfect. So if there is a difference. No BIG DEAL. Now if they do not repeat where the go every time. Then there is a problem. ( example )Like going from 10 mils to 1 mil back to 5 mil. If that makes sense. The example is just for one barrel.
Thanks....I just need to figure out what length for the 6.5 and where to get one. Was looking at OTM. They have some 26s in stock that are threaded.
Not or sure what the best length is for a 6.5 barrel or how OTM is. Look for a 6.5 blank and give Dave Tooley a shout on here. I sent him two barrels recently. Had quick turnaround time and great to deal with. Try bugholes for your blank.
looks like he has plenty 6.5 blanks. Pick your contour = BARRELS
The OTM barrels are chambered by Robert Gradous and his world famous reamers...
Jake, how far out are those rails? Looking good!
I still find it incredible that these AI's seem to be so tolerant of variances in charge weights (my AE MKII acted the same way when working up loads shooting less than 1" with a large charge weight variance) It also made my life easy as I didn't have to mess around with different seating depths or powders etc, The Berger 175gr OTM's being designed to be very tolerant of jump probably helped too. Anyone that thinks AI's don't hang with customs hasn't shot one
Well I managed to get to the range this afternoon after moving the S&B over to the AT to zero and test some hand loads. I used some left over 155gr match ammo after bore sighting the rifle to get it on paper.
I then swapped over to my hand loads and started with some pressure check loads (although the load I want to use works fine in my AE MKII this is a new rifle so I always start a little low and work up just to be safe) These are the first 3 pressure check rounds with have over 1 grain variance in powder charge. Even with such a difference in charge weight they still shot a little clover leaf at 100
This is the group after firing all 7 pressure check rounds on my way up to my working load these 7 rounds have over 2.5 grain variance in powder charge and the group still measures under 1"
I saw zero pressure signs and was happy so I moved onto the load I wanted to test. I was in a rush and due to personal circumstances have been very busy this past week so I basically went with the exact same load I use in my AE MKII and it turns out that it shoots just as well in the new AIAT. These are all loaded to Mag length and were Berger 175 OTM Tactical projectiles.
The group below was shot by a shooting buddy of mine as a confirmatory group
And this was my best group of the day.

Unless you zeroed the caliper with a bullet first?
Does anyone have a picture of an AT with thumbhole stocksides fitted? Also does anyone run an Atlas BT10-LW17 on the BT19 spigot with the BT20 rail kit? Thanks

Sorry to keep asking the same question, but some anyone have weights of the AT's?
non-folder 20 inch 308 was right at 11 lbs.
If you're looking at the BT19 w/rails, I would take a look at the Big Dog Steel Gen II AI Spigot mount Gen II AI Spigot Rail System I have one on my AT. Very well built design and rock solid
Thanks for posting this. The AT will be my first AI rifle. Ordered the spigot today. Now, to find a PSR in stock!
Thanks Jake!
Anyone have the weight of a folder?
Here you go bud. Ordered 2 last week(which will be here tomorrow) and one yesterday. Looks like its in stock https://www.triadtactical.com/Atlas-PRS-Bipod.html
Here's a pic of the barrels that OTM sells with there lower profile AT rail after hard coat.
About to pull the trigger, can't decide between a 20" or 24"er

You have any pics with a scope mounted to the lower rail?
