Why is a Dovetail rail useful for precision rifle?

Often mis-referenced as the "Arca-Swiss Rail" the 1.5" Dovetail Rail is feature carried over from the commercial photography world. Arca-Swiss was the first company to develop the wide clamping rail that could accommodate the larger format camera to safely secure them on top of a tripod. The Dovetail Rail in conjuction with a tripod or bipod is useful for precision rifles shooting because it offers maximum stability and flexibility in a shooting platform. No other shooting platform is as stable and fast as the Dovetail rail.

AXHR1 RAIL FAQs / PLEASE READ

Can I put a 16" HR1 on my short action AX Rifle?

Yes. It will fit perfectly, many people want the longer handguard length for a more stable prone position with the extended bipod reach.

Will the MLOK® accessory screws touch the barrel?

You never want anything touching you barrel so our MLOK® accessories have shortened screws that allow clearance with even heavy barrels. Please note if you use some MLOK® accessories you may need to remove your handguard before removing your barrel. The Maxim Picatinny rails we offer here will not inhibit barrel removal.

Does the HR1 fit the Pre-2014 or Post 2014 Ax Rifle/Chassis?

Our AXHR1 Handguard is designed to fit the current two screw attachment, post-2014 models. If you aren't sure shoot us an email with pictures.

Why is there a little slot cut into the HR1 by the receiver?

That little slot is a window to visually confirm that your barrel has been seated all the way into the receiver when you change it. ALWAYS LOOK AND CONFIRM THIS WHEN CHANGING YOUR BARREL.

What do I do with my OEM AI Handguard?

When you receive your AX HR1 it arrives in a beautiful black canvas bag to protect it. Upon installation of your new AX HR1, please place the old OEM AI Handguard in there for safe keeping years to come.
