ATAICS 1.5: Fixed Stock
ATAICS 2.0: Folding Stock
A combat proven feature of all our sniper rifles is the polymer and alloy chassis (not merely a stock), which provides the rigidity, strength and durability necessary to provide a stable, rugged platform for the barreled action in all weather and in any environment.
Accuracy International Chassis Systems bring the ergonomic and functional benefits of our latest advanced AX and AT sniper rifle systems to the Remington 700 platform.
In the ATAICS and particularly in the AXAICS, these benefits are delivered with degrees of modularity and configurability that cannot be achieved with any traditional stock. Quick and easy to install and requiring no specialised gunsmithing, both chassis systems are available for short and long Remington 700 actions in .308 Win, .300 Win Mag and .338 Lapua Magnum families of cartridges. Today’s snipers need to rule the battlefield day and night. AI Chassis Systems make that more achievable.
Accuracy International was started in 1978 by a group of national and international target shooters, one of which was a two time Olympic Gold Medalist. Designed by shooters, for shooters. The original design's ethos combined two factors into a unique package: namely the incorporation of performance enhancing features learned in Olympic and international target shooting onto a rifle platform exhibiting full militarty ruggedness. The current designs are faithful to the orginal concept but also benefit from thirty years of continuous improvement. These advances are not cosmetic but are driven by the needs of users, highly trained military and police units in over 60 countries world-wide. On a daily basis such units are exposed to "live" tactical situations in the most demanding environments where first shot accuracy is critical. All componets are manufactured to Accuracy Internaional designs to ensure that they must perform, something that cannot be achieved with a ruggedished sporting weapon.
1. Butt Pad:
Large, recoil absorbing, for increased comfort. User adjustable for length of pull using spacers (included). Height and rotation adjustable target butt pad available as an accessory.
2. Adjustable Cheekpiece:
Lateral/height adjustment. Stores a 4mm hex key for barrel removal/refit and re-positioning of accessory rails.
3. Sling Points:
Quick detach flush cup style for rapid sling repositioning. Three points are located on the main chassis, and removable/repositionable points are located on rail sections on the fore-end.
4. Folding Stock (Included on 2.0 Chassis ONLY):
This allows the stock to be folded when travelling in vehicles or for parachute insertions. The stock locks in the folded position for sercurtiy and the avoidance of noise. It is released by pulling firmly on the butt. The wear compensated hinge ensures total rigidity in the extended position. Stock folds to the right and reduces the rifle length by 260mm (˜10").
5. Pistol Grip:
User configurable in minutes with replaceable pistol grip backstraps.
6. 5-Round Magazine:
One detachable steel magazine is included. This industry-leading design is corrosion resistant and low friction for reliable feeding.
7. AX Bipod Adapter (Optional):
Supplied with a Harris adapter. An AI spigot adapter is available as an accessory.
8. Accessory Rail (Optional):
With AI's patented KeySlot™ system, sections of STANAG 4694/Mil-Std 1913 accessory rail can be attached anywhere on the fore-end, so rail mountable equipment can be positioned with complete flexibility. The top accessory rail is matched to the angle on the action rail. The KeySlot system has been successfully MIL-STD tested for vibratio, shock and resistance to movement and rotation.
Stockside Optional Colors: Black, Pale Brown and OD Green:
Options:
AI Thumbhole Stockside (Optional): Price-$69
Get the classic look of the AW rifle Chassis. Thumbhole grip upgrade fit includes a thumbhole backstrap, rear end moldings, and screws. Fits new style stocksides only.
The AT AICS Chassis is designed for the Remington 700, Tikka T3 and Savage Model 10 rifles chambered in .308 Win, .300 Win Mag and .338 Lapua.
Engineering Excellence:
When a customer selects an Accuracy International rifle, it’s because consistency, reliability and high performance are critical to the task in hand.
"Form Follows Funtion" is a concept just as applicable to product designs as it is to architecture. At Accuracy International, they pride themselves upon understanding the necessary "function" of their products by staying in constant contact with the community that uses them and using the knowledge they gain as the starting point for their design process. Some things are fundamental: given the nature of their use, sniper rifles must be highly accurate, rugged and reliable. Consequently these characteristics are incorporated into every product they make.
To achieve these goals requires the deployment of advanced tools and methodologies. AI employs world class computer aided design and analysis tools to optimize function and durability. By combining these methods with advanced prototyping technology on site, AI can rapidly assess and compare a large number of design options, and iterate towards the optimum design concept. AI’s prototype development processes are enhanced by the use of a high speed video camera that allows its engineers to analyze the behavior of the products in exquisite detail, whether it be visualizing the gas flow through a muzzle brake, seeing how the rifle chassis flexes when dropped, or capturing the movement of the firing mechanism. Only by understanding the performance of the weapon to this degree can AI take its product designs to the next level!
Manufacturing:
The foundation of AI’s approach to manufacturing is a culture of continuous improvement and employee involvement based upon the teachings of W. Edwards Deming, who transformed Japanese manufacturing processes in Japan after WW2. Deming’s philosophy is built around key principles ultimately aimed at bringing value to the customer. They include building quality into the product at the design stage and focusing on it throughout the production process, identifying all of the steps in the process chain, making the processes flow efficiently and striving for perfection by continually identifying and eliminating waste.
To achieve this, AI deploys quality and statistical tools based on the Six Sigma methods developed by Motorola in 1986 and strict compliance with the ISO 9001 quality management system.
These methods are the foundations of the entire manufacturing process and besides dramatically improving the quality of the products, they deliver other benefits as well. In the worlds of the well know consultant Philip B Crosby, “Quality is Free”. Far from increasing the costs of the manufacturing process, these methods actually produce dramatic efficiencies by:
Significantly reducing scrap and rework
Reducing the sizes of the stock and work in progress inventories
Minimizing warranty costs
Application of these methods is complemented by a continuing investment in tooling and machinery to make the best use of the latest technologies to enhance product quality and productivity. Since its reorganization, AI has invested in machinery, technology and people to bring more component manufacturing in-house, particularly for items critical to product quality and performance.
To have total control of the quality of the product, AI also partners with key suppliers to assist them with developing processes for component manufacture and to gain their expertise in improving its own internal processes.
