Just out of interest Chris, not that you can own too many AI’s!? What’s peeked your interest in the AX.mkiii when you already have an AXMC? As mentioned above, you could get a new rail, AR pistol grip conversion, perhaps a few of the new .308 conversion mags and hey presto! A lot of cash saved! However if you’ve got the cash, and just adding to the collection. My cap is doffed! Fair play

Hopefully people are clued up enough if they are going to buy an AI they will buy it from Sporting Services rather than Sportsmans and have actual customer service!

For sale, bought from Graeme @ sporting services a couple of years ago. 5-25, MSR reticle, clockwise turrets, locking turrets, first focal plane, mRad, MTC (there might be more acronyms but I forget) Optically & mechanically perfect. Not a dust, mark or scratch on the lens. Body of the scope is perfect with zero marks. The turret has a small rash / mark to it. Seen clearly in photos. Further photos or high Rez can be sent on request. Can also be viewed or purchased from Frimley Surrey or NRA bisley. Scope will come with supplied butler creeks when I find them. However rear tenebraex, throw lever and sniper hider are available at extra cost. Any questions please ask.

Chris, both are in production depending on where you live. Obviously as you said the ASR was made for the US market / solicitation. So if you live in the US you will get an ASR, if you live in the U.K. or Europe you will get an AX Mk.III. So won’t be a case of which one will win. Differences seen below:
-
I would want to retain the AI keyslot, so will be waiting for the Mk.3 AX rail to retrofit for my AX

It does sit quite a bit lower compared to standard. Most people who’ve shot it have noticed a positive difference. The take home message for most I would imagine would be.... would I sell my existing AI to get an AT-X. No. If I didn’t own one, but wanted one.... would I choose the AT-X over others, quite possibly.

Accuracy International AW or the updtaed AW rifle- AT
markymark replied to saliba's topic in General Discussion
Both will shoot as well as each other. However there will be a premium attached to the AW. The AT most importantly has the quick switch barrel feature so you can screw on another .308 bolt face cartridge such as 6.5 Creedmoor etc whenever you like. The AT will allow you to wear both pistol grip or or thumbhole stocks. Unless you’re particularly nostalgic the AT has more features, will cost you less and shoot just as well. I’m assuming your looking at .308 rather than .338 or 300 win mag.... the AT isn’t comparable To try and answer you question more in-depth. Hopefully someone can chime in if I’m wrong. I believe both run the same actions apart from the quick barrel change feature as mentioned previously. Both come in fixed and folding stock variants. The AW will have an 11mm dovetail to mount scopes the AT 20moa pic rail. The barrel profile will be thicker on the AT vs the AW. AW uses a different muzzle break. Single port vs the AT which uses a double port and has the option of normal brake or Tac brake..... screw on AI moderator. Not sure on the AW but the AT has an adjustable trigger shoe which can alter the position of the trigger blade. Obviously both have adjustable length of pull. So finding a comfortable position shouldn’t be a problem. If I can think of anything more I’ll come back -
Sporting services have a good rep with S&B. They might have what you are after in stock. Website isn’t great but improving but would be worth a call.

500 available in boxes of 100. £30 per hundred Postage will depend on amount but charged at cost. Extremely tolerant bullet in my experience. Achieved a .25” load and everything in development regardless of charge weight or bullet depth I tried was always sub MoA https://www.sierrabullets.com/product/6-5mm-264-caliber-130-gr-tgk/

Locktite 277 on self timing brake?
markymark replied to lapua's topic in Suppressors / Moderators, Bipods, Anything else
Although not same application, I use Flexbar Rocksett for muzzle brakes. That’s on the threaded portion barrel vs brake not on the adjustment threads like you. That said, if you want to lock the adjustment threads in place and don’t have to worry..... I would highly recommend it. I used it for my ASE bore lock brakes. Everything else has come loose with heat before. I know there are some locktite’s that are temperature stable enough to deal with suppressors / muzzle brakes. However you then need high heat / high torque to break the bond. With Flexbar rocksett just soak the offending item in hot / boiling water for 20 mins or so then it just screws off with hand tools no problem. -
In small primmer brass for the creed Magnum CCI primers are used by many as they have a thicker cup and are less prone to piercing rather than being used for the ignition of large quantities of powder.
