CPD7119 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I just got a brand new Accuracy International AT 308 rifle for work and the dang thing came broke from the company. The magazine release was sheered off at the mag well! Anyone have any other issues with their AI's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlhead Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Good thing you can still load the mag through the port while waiting for parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClangClang Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Accidents can always happen. The question is how well the vendor/manufacturer stands behind their product and makes it right. Have you contacted AI about the broken mag release yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10ring Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Wow! That's unacceptable. Did you buy it from Mile High Shooting Accessories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlhead Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 The factory is in England, it may have broke when CPD got it, I would bet it was not broke when it was originally put in the box. For all we know it could have been subject to a customs "inspection" or an over aggressive dock worker who was still upset by the change to all day breakfast at Micky D's. Even with the bubble wrap and cardboard they could still be damaged in transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPD7119 Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 It had to have been broken by either AI over seas or by Mile High. The broken peice was not in the package with the rifle. I called Mile High and not only did they over night the replacement part they shipped the tool used to replace the mag release. If you're gonna buy an AI buy it from Mile High I would have no hesitation to buy from them. They added a t-shirt also which makes it even better.

Hunter1998 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Mile high is a great company to do business with!!! Bought two AI's from them and many other items and they were always great. you will enjoy your new rifle, great choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaladinPrecision Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hard to ship things internationally without breaking things. They stood behind their product and that is really important. I would call this a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashAndPoof Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I've had nothing but success ordering AI rifles from Mile High. They're a great bunch for the precision community. AI rifles are pricey... but you forget it as soon as you start using yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
