Akeld Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 There was a fella on the stalking directory fitted AI (airsoft ones) skins to a CZ HMR, I think he had to make an aluminium chassis but he did it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetop Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Akeid That was me !!!! Yeah it was a bit of a mission ... I wouldn't use this method in a CF... It works great on Rimfire's but the recoil would be a Massive issue Here is a pic ... Cz452 17HMR 16" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I was chatting to Neil McKillop a few months back and he told me that he had just converted an AICS for a Tikka 595. So I'm sure that he could also do a T3. Also 'He who shall not be named' in Germany also makes an AICS clone for the T3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stacka Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 AI apparently we're going to make a chassis for T3 but doesn't seem to have materialised. Obviously Roedale (he that shall not be named) ......wouldn't it be good if some one here could be a UK distributor for the Roedale product and cut out the obvious.

GunsmithDolphinholme Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I take we are referring to an ACIS stock with the V shaped bedding and not an actual AI flat action thats bonded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarinePMI Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Over on Snipers Hide there's a fellow from Oz that is making/modifying chassis to fit the T-3. Apparently (no first hand experience) it was not that complicated, as the T-3 has a flat bottomed receiver. I believe he (or someone else, I can't recall) had CAD files for the action inlet available by e-mail if wanted. I believe Tom Irwin stated that AI do still intend to offer their stocks inletted for the T-3, but that they are getting the AT & MC rifles and stocks out first...

treetop Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 How on earth did you manage that, I wouldn't mind trying it.Basically, it wasn't that hard to work out.... It was hard to build & get it right.. I got hold of a air soft stock - bright orange & 99% plastic, But it had the important parts, ( adjustable cheek piece, rubber butt & spacers, sling mounts & the bipod spigot socket ) that worked & obviously a copy of the right shape. I took it apart ( the same as the real skins ) teased out the metal joining pins, then set about trying to work out a chassis.. I decided that it wouldn't need to be a full chassis like the AI as its was for a rim fire, with hardly any recoil ... So I could negate the welding of the box section for the butt.. This then ment that ( I m not good welder ) I could build it out of Alloy Box section , tracking down the size of box section was an issue, I had to buy 6m of it ! .. So I have enough for 3 more stocks ... The in-letting was a bit of head mess, as the height of the action would be heighten than the original let, so I needed to build up 2 pillars ( 1 around the front of the action , the other to the rear, around the action stud ) next was the mag release - still not managed to get hold of or build a new longer one - but I needed to make sure it would still function with ease ( its a bit fiddley if you don't know the rifle ) this as an issue as the front action screw bolts into the mag well... Hence why a longer mag release ( 5-10mm ) would be great. ! Then it was a session of cutting the plastic sides to take the new chassis & epoxing the front spigot / sling mounts to the chassis. The cablity of the rile was not effected & may have been slighly improved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treetop Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 The alloy & the donor air soft stock was about £ 70 ... The time is another issue ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunsmithDolphinholme Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 The alloy & the donor air soft stock was about £ 70 ... The time is another issue ! That is one fine piece of work for a very good price. I think a project could be in order over winter. So what are the chance's of getting some of the box section posted?

treetop Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yeah that is roughly £ 70 - alloy & donor stock ( each. ) + sunderies ( epoxy, paint, metal putty, ect ) + the time... It's the time thats a bit of a git , cos it did take a long while & plenty of hours getting it lined up & sitting right. Let lone the cutting of the plastic, I was frightened that it could snap or I would slip with a grinder & have to get another donor stock from somewhere. I would look at a different rifles to see which would suit it better ( for the work ) ... I'm not saying the CZ452 wasn't a good choice, but it was what I had, & no body offers a stock that I wanted ... After 3 years of looking & the cost of the couple I did find, that wernt exactly perfect, & were way out of the price bracket..... I stumbled across this idea, and thought I would give it ago I have been asked by a couple of guys I shoot with to build 2 more, but its putting a price on them that's held me back. I have sauced a few more donor stocks , and more of my ( Hornady Z-max ) green paint, so I spose we shall see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
