ABOVE TOP RIGHT & ABOVE: Tom Irwin demonstrates features of the magazine well on an AX .308 chassis; particularly how a shooter or spotter can insert<br />
a magazine from the left without moving the rifle and maintaining the rifle on target. Notice the modularity of all the external parts on the chassis. If any of these<br />
parts become worn down or broken, shooters can swap them out with new ones. Borrowing a concept from polymer handgun designs, the pistol grips can be<br />
swapped out for different size swells to accommodate different shooters. ABOVE TOP LEFT: Putting a .338 Lapua AX through its paces in the factory 100<br />
meter range. The scope is a Schmidt & Bender, a world renowned scope for an equally remarkable rifle. Notice the amount of KeyMod slots on the frame. LEFT:<br />
Various bolt housing groups in line for further finishing and assembly. Another feature of the design was the short 60 degree bolt throw open, allowing more rapid<br />
bolt manipulation. This was especially evident during the test fire of the weapon system in the 100 meter range, the bolt being especially smooth during operation.<br />
