Compact, folding chassis

[RichS]

Hey all,
So I'm building up a Howa mini in .300BO. I plan to SBR it. I also have a mini action in .223 that's in a Brownells/MDT chassis with ACS buttstock and I really dig it. However since this is going to be a shorty, I was thinking something "foldy" would be better suited. As to chassis, I'm pretty much limited to an LSS or an Elf Owl. The JTAC is available with a picatinney interface for the stock. If I go MDT, would something like the A3 or KNS buffer to PC adaptor work? I was thinking an A3 offset 7" folder would be good. Thoughts? Any other good folder recommendations? I don't need/want something too bulky.

Get the elf owl dude

The lss is an ugly piece of shit

owl is heavier. something to consider.

Go MDT.

One of my .308s I put in an LSS Gen 2 with a folding stock adapter and the SCS adjustable stock.

I have mdt and xlr. I like the 4.0mg more.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure XLR doesn't make anything for the Howa Mini Action. Don't know if this is a typo or not, but the Accurate Mag (old Howa HCR) one is intriguing. Anyone use this one before?

XLR does make something for the Howa 1500. XLR Long lead time though.

Your link doesn't show an option for a mini action. Not many people make them. Are you confusing it with a short action?

Maybe. Not sure the size differences between the mini and sa. Looks like the mini bolt is 6" and the SA 6.9"

 

[RichS]

Yeah, def not for the mini action. I just ordered an elf-owl today.

Well I did PM and email the owner over on the NZ hunting board and never got a reply. So I went with JTAC

That's a shame, Ive had very good dealings with Rob, I had him build up a custom lightweight chassis buttstock for me
