Yes that is correct. Dave Tooley cuts these barrels to AI specs. AI uses several brakes that all are threaded 18x1.5mm regardless of caliber.
I have never seen an AX come with a UK barrel but I have heard of an AT come with an AINA bartlein...

Ok, that explains it. I couldn't understand why Dave would be cutting metric threads on his barrels. I have the AI brake and I guess they are cut accordingly for these.
the whole reason for the AXMC is for one rifle to be able to shoot multiple calibers, to go from 338 Lapua to 308 it’s just a matter of changing the bolt body and barrel and installing the mag well adapter and 308 mag the whole process just takes a few minutes
when I first got my rifle it had a different break on it, single chamber break made to install a suppressor and I did not care for it much, it was not as efficient as the break that I had on my AWSM and you had to clock it with shims so I called Scott up at AINA and he swapped it out for me for the conventional two chamber break like the one I had on my AWSM which clocks by getting it where you want it and then tighten the retention screw and the suppressor I have screws on the end of the barrel anyway so removing this break is also much easier than the other one
Your boy has the PSR. The PSR comes with a 308, 300, and 338 barrels and bolt conversion, at double the cost

Its a PSR bro. The AXMC seem to have the pistol grip half black half pale brown as the PSR comes with just full pale brown, mine came like that. Especially since he said it came with the single chamber brake (AAC Titan Brake) which comes with all PSR barrels in the kit. And I am pretty damn sure they don't have the conversion kits unless he's special lol. I may be wrong though.
Very nice. What load are you using? I'm assuming the group was shot using the same ammo you would use on a call out? I think we actually met once over in Palmetto a few years ago. If this is the case you had an AI/AE at the time along with an AAC can (Cyclone?) and there was an issue with vertical stringing you were trying to solve. I shoot USPSA with Braxton, and sometimes share a lane with Landrum over at Bob's. I have been trying to convince Braxton to get a Class 3 license to handle my transfers. If you see him put a bug in his ear!
Looks like those with the AXMC, and awaiting the .308 conversion kits, aren't going to have to wait much longer. Looks like the UK guys are starting to get theirs...

I know what I'm doing this weekend.
Dam that 20" combo and Nightforce looks just right !!
I have gone into great discussions over this with the guys at AI. Sorry to say they adamantly oppose doing this. You can make it yourself if you can contract someone to do it....
And AI made an AE in 7 WSM several years ago for SHOT but no one knows if it was ever fired.

Great day at the range! Zeroed the 260 & 308 barrels at 100 yards. Shift from 308 to 260 conversion is 1.2 mils up and 0.6 mils left. Both barrels easily 1/2 MOA, when I do my part! Looking forward to many years of great shooting with this rifle.
Hope you all have a great week!
