I wrote a blog about the Raven Rock weight system: https://midatlanticrimfireseries.wo...-weight-system-for-krg-chassis-by-raven-rock/
Has anyone added weight to their Bravo?

I use sheet lead from a plumbing supply house or amazon and a few dabs of silicone to keep it from moving around you can mold the stuff any way you like
I’m thinking about getting a pair of the mdt weights for the mlok slots on the foreend I need the flush cups anyway so that kind of makes the price a little easier I already have some lead in the rear but I think I like the idea of removable weight up front it balances right in front of the magwell right now but I would like to move the balance point forward a few inches Now that I’ve used it
EDIT: it seems with the dimension mdt provides on their website their weights will not fit the two mlok slots on the bravo foreend

Hey gents, looks like our weighted parts should be available within a couple weeks. We'll have forend options plus heavy bag riders and LOP spacers. Thank you,
Justin

Looks like I was off by about a month, they should be ready next week. The new heavy/Arca forend is still a couple weeks out though.

Great, now we start the refresh game so I can beat all these other assholes to the punch.
Hey @Massoud question for you on the heavy LOP spacers... are the ones from KRG intended for use with the Bravo chassis, or just the Whiskey/X-Ray?
Also, will the Arca XL rail work with the Bravo, or would there be a tendency for a 'springboard' effect on the extended portion of the rail that sticks out beyond the fore-end? Would the Arca spigot be a better option for mounting a 'pod further out front?

The LOP spacers will fit the Bravo as well.
The Arca XL is only meant for the Enclosed Forend. It would cantilever out a little too far on a regular forend, even being 7075. The Arca Spigot would be a better option for sure or there be another company that makes a really stout rail that would work. We are considering a considerably longer Arca Spigot for PRS guys if that's something that would interest you.
Thank you fellas for your business,
Justin
If you do a new spigot, can you put 2 countersunk holes in the mount that line up with the INVR? That'd be dope.
I figured they would *fit*; I was thinking more about durability with hanging steel weights from brass inserts epoxied into plastic on the Bravo, as compared to directly into the chassis itself on the other models (I'm assuming so, haven't played with the other flavors in person).
There are some there currently, those are meant to allow you to mount the INVR and Spigot at the same time. Is that what you mean or something else?
I'm not real big on hanging the steel weights anywhere really. The Bravo inserts are molded in place though, it's a pretty stout setup. The heavy LOP spacer adds little in shear or tensile stress to the insert but does add some bending/translational stress which will be reacted by the surrounding polymer assuming full screw depth into the insert. This will be mitigated somewhat to entirely by the friction of the clamped joint between buttpad, LOP spacer, and rear stock. Personally I'd rather people didn't add the weight but I understand some want to and a suppressor or brake just doesn't do the trick.
On the W-3 it's the same way, the screws would go through the heavy LOP spacer into molded-in threaded inserts in the recoil pad mount plate. The X-ray has steel nuts captured inside of it.
Thanks guys.

Sorry, mine didn't look like that...
It had the one hole up front, which I turned a plug for, then drilled the 2 holes your print shows.

Ah ok, yes we made a small amount without the holes because most shooters using a Spigot have been going to the NVMC Kit which mounts on the spigot instead of the INVR. We brought the holes back because might as well have them in there. Yours looks nicely done.

Do either of your solutions interfere with the KRG t-slot weight? I’m thinking they would, but I don’t have the chassis in hand.

My solution is basically a longer t-slot weight that extends out to be a spigot. I could not have both weight systems.
Hey. do you still have the x-ray back end do you want to sell it? I want the x-ray back end on my bravo.
