Thumb hole AX AICS

[acg]

This is a pre-2014 old gen 1 AX AICS, a local machine shop helped me to milled some aluminum off the butt plate area to install the thumbe hole kit.

Got a 223 trainer rifle that would look good in this!

Did this a few years ago when I swapped an AT butt skeleton and skins (sourced from the UK) with the pre 14 AX butt skeleton.

Vandalizing an AT AICS

Full disclosure: I’m queer for Accuracy International chassis systems. I bought my first short action AICS 1.5 in 2003 and it’s been in service ever since. I currently own 3 “legacy” AICS 1.5s and three 2.0’s 3 fixed AT AICS, two folding AT AICSs, a pre 14 AX AICS and a post 14 AX AICS. Some...

OP, please read the site rules. Your post may have been innocently done, but it was worded dangerously close to being an ad.

I want to do one of these badly but tracking down one of those early ax chassis doesn't seem like it'll be easy

Someone asked me to show where should be milled on the stock. So I removed the skin and show it here.

Total 3 areas need machine work:
A. Top area just cut it off, also remove sling mount.
B. This area needs to mill to same width as the orther part of the aluminum chassis(Both side).
C. Bottom area will needs cut off about half inch.

A screw hole will be needed to drill, if you want install all screws on thumbhole kit.

There will be small cut job on the thumbhole converter skin also, just interior side, can be done in 2 seconds.

Can I ask about the details of how you did this?

I followed the "Vandalizing an AT AICS" thread linked earlier in this chain. Pulled my pre14 AX buttstock off (needed heat and a couple screws out), put the AT on at the hinge (it was for a fixed length, thus the dremel cut), evened up and attached the thumbhole skins, and that was it.
