I put my 457 in an MDT XRS stock - will either the MPA or Anarchy Outdoors mag well insert shroud work?

mine are in Bravos. Not exactly a stock, not exactly a chassis.It’s a direct replacement for the stock plastic one, so if the BA fits with the stock mag well, it should also with the Anarchy Outdoors replacement. Having said that, I don’t have mine in a chassis so verification would have to come from someone who has used it with a chassis.
There's a discount right now till 6pm since it's a new product launchAny discount code for SH members in this thread?
From pics Ive seen the xrs already tapers into the magwell, so you really shouldnt need the magwell insert. The two you mention are made for chassis that have huge holes for the magwell, thats why they made those plastic inserts for them.I put my 457 in an MDT XRS stock - will either the MPA or Anarchy Outdoors mag well insert shroud work?
Bravo's are hard to beat for the money, and the rimfire LOP kit works well too. Had mine in a Bravo but eventually went the MPA routeNext question any thought on the KRG Chassis for the 457 MTR??

Nice!Pair of South African Warrior Gen7 chassis for CZ457 in Team South Africa Colors I brought from recent IPRF worlds in Italy
Very helpful information lash. Any preference for the the BT-15 or the longer BT-17 for the CZ 457 MTR?
The BT-17 is longer and all else being equal, more adjustment is always better imo. Plus, it will still fit using the spacing of the sling studs as home locations.Very helpful information lash. Any preference for the the BT-15 or the longer BT-17 for the CZ 457 MTR?
Also, I’m thinking it would be best to use a button head screw if I can find the correct pitch. Will the standard CZ rifle sling studs get in the way of the bipod mounted on the picatinny? Thanks, Ed
I will order the BT-17 as I’m with you, more adjustment is typically better!The BT-17 is longer and all else being equal, more adjustment is always better imo. Plus, it will still fit using the spacing of the sling studs as home locations.
I just checked and I not only used the BT-17, but I did use button head screws. I suggest stainless if you can get them as the standard ones rusted on mine over two years of regular use.
Now here’s the kicker regarding use of the sling studs and the rail. You can’t, or shouldn’t anyway. If you mount the rail closer to the action and leave the sling studs, it’s really too close for proper use imo. You will have to do what I suggested above and remove the sling studs. Drill from the barrel channel for T-nuts and mount the rail using SS button head machine screws.
The Atlas rail has a flush cup for sling mount incorporated into it. If your sling only is for stud mount, you can easily purchase an adaptor to either leave on your sling end or leave in the rail.
Flush Cup Stud Adapter
The Flush Cup Stud Adapter adds function to push button swivel bases. Use the supplied allen wrench to depress the plunger and slide the stud into the base. The standard stud is ready to accept all swivel types and/or mounting of a bipod or accessories that require a sling swivel stud. Fits all...www.grayboe.com
Answers to your proposed solution.I will order the BT-17 as I’m with you, more adjustment is typically better!
I’m not familiar with the “flush cup“ design of the BT-17, but it sounds that I may be OK just using the rifle’s existing wood screw sling studs for my bench rest set up, and the “flush cup” design will let me mount the Phenix bipod without interference from the sling stud as the stud will now be recessed. Does that sound accurate?
Also found this mounting hardware which looks like a good solution if the flush cup design won‘t work like I described above.

My bullet mag just got delivered. Very nice look mag. Hopefully I have a chance to take it to the range tomorrow to see how it functions. Based on a bit of testing I did at the house I’m not expecting to have many problems.L3I billet mags just went live for CZ's!
Have you had issues with the std CZ mags? Or is there another benefit you are after with the L3i?My bullet mag just got delivered. Very nice look mag.

No function issues with standard mags. The L3i mags are 13 rounds without an extension. Capacity is what why I was interested in these mags.Have you had issues with the std CZ mags? Or is there another benefit you are after with the L3i?
Mine didn’t update until they arrived today.I have two L3I mags on the way. Received tracking on the 26th with no movement since.

Not on 457 yet, but put a Jard in a Tikka T1X for a 14oz trigger. Have not adjusted it yet, it was 14oz out of the packaging. Its a two-stage, as shown in the vid there's far more movement than the stock trigger... but coming from Geissele HSNM in ARs, I like the Jard, I'm used to more movement in stage one. I will be ordering more Jards for the other Tikkas and for the 457.Anyone had any experience with the Jard trigger? Saw Josh's video (Pursuit of Accuracy) on them the other day, so I'd be interested to hear what other people with experience with them think, particularly compared to the Timney offering.
My Scar triggers have all been SS, but as far as your original question, yes. Not everyone needs a better trigger.Am I crazy for preferring the factory trigger over a Bscar? The Scar is great but I have single stage on all my Tikkas and most of my ARs. I prefer a single in most cases
I do like the build quality for sure. I would think longevity/consistency over time would be great
I’m using the stock trigger very successfully. It’s also mildly adjustable. A very nice stock trigger that hardly needs replacing.I'm going to at least use it a good bit and see where it goes being that if I want one again it's near impossible to get.
If you are happy with 2.5-3lbs, you don’t need an aftermarket trigger.For sure. Mine is adjusted to eliminate creep and I'd say 2.5-3lbs. Certainly less than my 3.5lb CMCs

Bill made it in a 2 stage and a single stage. The 2 stage can be adjusted to a SS.Ok this Scar is growing on me, just a hair bit of creep I need to adjust out.
That stop before the mag is why I'm likely to go MDT if/when my rifles migrate into AL chassis-esBravo's are hard to beat for the money, and the rimfire LOP kit works well too. Had mine in a Bravo but eventually went the MPA routeView attachment 8226901
Pretty easy to open up the barrel channel to fit the .900 barrel. Had to do it on the Boyd's stock that came on a 455. Wrapped sandpaper around a deep socket and went at it. You could even wrap a long strip of abrasive paper over your factory barrel if you were in a hurry.Question to MTR owners. Will a Lilja straight .900 barrel fit in the wood stock?? The stock barrel is ,860 so it looks like it should fit. Anybody has one that can post a picture that would be great.
Thanks

A piece of aluminum angle makes a nice stop with the Bravo chassis.That stop before the mag is why I'm likely to go MDT if/when my rifles migrate into AL chassis-es
