KRG Whiskey 3 Chassis-Let's See Them
- Thread starter mm509

That looks great! I’m really hoping they release this as a normal product! I have 2 whiskey 3s that could use it!
It’s all one piece I didn’t realize at first , it’s not just a forend
That’s a bummer, regardless would be cool to see them come out with that at shot.
Couple days more and we will see what they have up their sleeve
Hopefully they make that the factory configuration (along with updating their backbones)… can’t see it happening though.
Can you confirm if the magwell on the W3-Pro is aluminum and integrated into the forend, or if it is a separate polymer piece.
Well, since the PRO mag well is screwed on, there’s hope for an aluminum version down the line, whether factory or aftermarket.
A couple years ago I worked on getting a custom grip from MKM and they sent me a bolt-on magwell as a bonus. Seems to work fine, although I’m not slamming it into things. Does aid mag swapping.

Weird. With the new forend, they seem to have gotten rid of the supremely comfortable design for the hand that their Arca aluminum forend has.Front end and the shroud now available.

With the latter, the way it flares out eliminates the Arca bit from cutting into your hand.

That’s so you can add the external weights for an additional cost, “it’s a feature.”Weird. With the new forend, they seem to have gotten rid of the supremely comfortable design for the hand that their Arca aluminum forend has.

I guess it’s a comp chassis and they haven’t discontinued the regular Arca aluminum forend. Whatever.
I do like the magwell design, though.

Agreed. What you should actually use is one of these.You animal!
These bits are what I used to lefty convert my MDT XRS for my T1X.
Used black nail polish to cover it up.
Even fancier version tool (the buy once cry once) is a Nakanishi im-301 with a ih300 head. Pneumatic. Cost is crazy but amazing to use. Have one at work.

To be fair, I made what Im pretty sure was the first LH C4 in the wild with a Dremel 
Air tools are usually cooler to use. Like, not temp-wise, more like “just cooooollll brah”
Too bad you need a huge, 240v, and well-made compressor to really use them to their potential.
I was going to buy said compressor and upgrade my garage power but then the battery-powered tools started working better and getting smaller.
I just bought a little Milwaukee battery-powered right angle die grinder. Haven’t used it yet.
True for the 1/4 die grinders. I can occasionally run mine for a few minutes off my 30 gallon craftsman.Air tools are usually cooler to use. Like, not temp-wise, more like “just cooooollll brah”

The nakanishi doesn't require much air. 2.65cfm@65psi.
Little disappointed with the bridge on the new Pro forend. The pic rail puts it all way higher than previously for clip on use. It's so high in fact i needed to shave the rail down a little to get the bell to clear. Rings are 1.5" for reference.
The new Pro forend is great otherwise. It's exactly what the W3 has been needing. But I'll wait for a bridge with built in pic rail thats lower before switching the rest of my W3s out.

Can you confirm what material the mag well piece is made of, and whether it is removable or not? If it's polymer and removable, there's hope for an aluminum or other future options for swapping out the mag well then. Thanks in advance!
It's polymer and removable. Id prefer one without the silly barricade stop in the future myself as it just looks funky and I don't shoot PRS any longer.
