Anyone have any experience with Grey Birch chassis? I am thinking about getting one for a tikka t1x, but I don’t see much feedback from actual users.

Create a channel Learn moreI have a Volquartsen 10/22 SS action, carbon fiber barrel, SS forward blow comp in the Gray Birch DLX chassis. The scope on it is the March 1.5-15 x 42. The fit and finish of the chassis is excellent. Magazines insert with no effort, lock in place with no wiggle, very important to prevent lead shaving and they drop out with out hesitation. The combination, chassis, VQ and March Scope makes for a very light and accurate combination. 1 MOA or less at 100 yards with Eley semi auto benchrest all the time. I did add soft material to the cheek weld and strongly recommend the Ergo Tactical deluxe Zero Angle Grip. My next build will be a VQ Summit and it will be in the Gray Birch chassis.Anyone have any experience with Grey Birch chassis?

Yes, as I mentioned on my previous reply post. I've had the chassis for almost a year now. It was a good feature, function and weight compromise for PRS ELR and STAG shooting competitions.Did you end up doing any business with Grey Birch...? Been thinking about a Takedown 10/22 LaChassis from them but no phone numbers, no reviews, an a bunch of guys batching on their Facebook page got me a little skiddish...
I had the same issue with mine. The fix for me was a combination of Butches bore shine and Kroil oil mixture applied to the hinge and working it back and forth. To unlock the stock it's best if you place the hand grip upright on a table and push the stock butt down with the other hand close to the hinge making sure to keep the two parts parallel, other wise it will bind. Then work it back and forth until it feels smooth. Don't let the stock swing all the way back into the fixed position until it feels okay. Hope that worksHaving trouble with the folding stock. The lock screw arrived already set on the inside. Pushing up and pullinto force to force g down on both sides and can't budge it. Is it super stiff?

i had the same problem until I put my thumb on the pivot point and pressed there. Magically unlocks as if you pushed an unlocking button and no need to polish anything. A sample of one but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is normal.Having trouble with the folding stock. The lock screw arrived already set on the inside.

KIDD Supergrade. I replaced the rear setscrew with a nylon tip setscrew to tighten up the rear of the action. I have since added Bag Rider and replaced the stock hand grip with an MDT Vertical Grip. Really like the chassis.

Look at the (MPA EVG Enhanced Vertical Grip if you like shooting with a thumb rest and more importantly it places your trigger finger at a right angle to the trigger. Have one on my Volquartsen 10/22 in the Gray Birch chassis, great addition.Now just have to hunt down a EO grip. Oh man. Wonder how the CZ grips would do on this.

Depends on how you place your hand. I prefer to have my thumb on the right side and the gap is a none issue. If you use a full grip then it can be and issue with the gap. As I said in my original post, "If you like shooting with a thumb rest" .The MPA has a big gap between the stock and the web of your thumb, for me it wasn’t comfortable at all
Yes but with a set screw, nylon tipped if you’re inclined.Apologies for this question,
Is this where the rear action screw is to be installed?
Some of you are using plastic?
