So I just noticed last night that I never swapped the male catch for the stock on the left side of my AT and when I went to install it found that the corresponding screw head did not clear the comp trigger. I had to file off a little bit of it. Anyone else have that issue?
I'm working with a shop to potentially make some for the European market, with the possibility of importing some of them direct into the US, rather than having another large batch made here. That seems to be moving fast, so stand by for more information. If I get another batch made here instead it would for sure be 4-6 months to complete once I issue a PO.
I use inexpensive 5.11 Tactical pants that have an internal knee pad pocket for neoprene pads. They work well and are cheap, but don't breathe well during hot/humid months, and don't repel water. I bought a pair of much nicer UF Pro pants, but with the exact same waist and inseam as the 5.11 they fit me like skinny jeans in the waist and thigh area haha.
The kit comes with the correct replacement screw for the AT male stock catch.
Thanks for the pants info, I like how 511's fit but don't need tactical skinny jeans, lol
So the shop is in Europe? Feel free to PM if you're not ready to put info out yet, thanks dude, you're the man! Gotta get one of your thumbrests for my AI AT LE model!
Lol, yep, must have had the superior color, "pale brown" on the brain 
I missed the first run. I'd love to get in on the next one if in fact it happens.
PM me with your name and an email to get on the wait list. I’m working on sourcing a possible second batch.
Yup! Tune the balance point to be 3-4" in front of the mag well, and it will ride a heavy bag like nobody's business. Combine that with the forend being an inch closer to the barrel than the AT, and it makes it significantly more stable.
So I shot my second match this weekend since swapping it and it really is noticably better. It really doesn't feel like the same rifle anymore. It just feels completely solid.
It’s been too long, but finally got home and got the AT put together. Still waiting for epoxy to cure, but should sight in/get some groups tomorrow. Thanks Sam! Great design and great package you put together!! Can’t wait to get in some matches.
Looks so clean, I love it!
How do you like the RRS scope mount? They look so sleek, I’m really thinking about one for my next optic instead of a Spuhr.
The RRS mounts are very nice. As you stated, they are just clean/sleek. Definitely no issues from a quality perspective.
I feel like this thread needs a bump with some pics. Here is my production run AO chassis with @BLKWLFK9 prototype chassis
I'm on the wait list, still excited about a possible second run!
Haha, well 1500 should get you through for a while. Good start. Hope you feel better soon!
I can’t share any more info just yet, but I am working on another source for the next run of the Obsession Chassis.
I'll have some pictures of mine once Red Beard finishes the cerakote
If anyone is on the fence about the chassis, don’t hesitate if Sam re-runs. Pictures are a bit deceiving and the chassis can look out of proportion, but DBransco was gracious enough to let me look at his rifle and believe me when I say that everything looks like a fine sports car.
No doubt that I have to try and get the chassis!
No doubt that I have to try and get the chassis!
Working on it...hopefully will have some more formal news soon.
So much for being 1 of 40, haha! Seriously though, that's awesome Sam... I'm super happy for you!
Thanks! Yeah, sorry to decrease the rarity and collectibility of your chassis haha. This one will actually be slightly different, so there will likely still only be 40 of the exact design of the first run. I'm working on getting some to the European market more easily than if I had them made here, and the benefit will be having more made for the US market as well.
Cannot wait! Will price and all that be similar? Can you tell us what changes were made?

I don’t have final details worked out yet, but the plan would be to have the kit be close to, or the same, price point as before.
So pics from my first match with the AO chassis. And wow. Definitely didn’t have any disadvantages. If you compete and want to compete with a AI you need @samb300 chassis.

It turned out pretty nice. But the low 30s at the start of the day wasn’t to fun.
However everyone north of me is probably used to much colder.
