KRG X-Ray Chassis with B14-R?

[Colorado CJ]

I was wondering if anyone has used a KRG X-Ray Chassis with their B14-R.

I've been wanting to get a chassis for my B14-R for some time now. I don't want to spend a huge amount of money though, and the X-Ray looks like it is a great option for (relatively) cheap.

I know some have problems with their magazines with chassis systems, so I would like to know if these are good to go before I buy one.

Wouldn't that be functionally the same as the Bravo? Those seem to work (mostly) fine.

Works flawlessly for me

I'm amazed they even still produce the xray

Pre Bravo I get it but not anymore

I've seen two people have issues with their B14R in their X-Rays. I think getting a longer mag latch was required or maybe some velcro on the mag. @Boxerglocker

I've seen both needed with bergara mags. And not just on XRAY/Bravo but also MDT

Yes, the longer mag catch would have definitely been required as well as tape/velcro on the mag or in the magwell. However, it still wouldn't have been a guaranteed fix to get it running 100 percent and still have drop free magazine release. I know some people have had success getting thier rigs set-up but there always seem to be a little give and take which I wasn't willing to do.

I own both and aside from aesthetics there are some subtle differences in the way they set up, particularly the hand grip area. I have a second RimX action coming that I'm discussing building for my wife. She wants it to go in another X-Ray specifically for the grip as she feels she'll be able to manipulate the rifle from position to position easier. Given the same BA they do balance differently. The X-ray comes with tool less adjustable shoulder pad adjustment, you have to pay extra if you want it on the Bravo. The other $50 or so difference in price is negliable if you take into account the manufacturing requirements due to design differences. Overall it just depends on the individual. Personally, I'm a big KRG fan, always have been, they just fit me better.

The xray falls kind if in the middle but looking at the price it seems much much lower than I remember years ago

Worked great in my bravo.


There is a detail in the instructions on tightening sequence with a mag in the action to get all the pieces lined up.

For what it's worth, I think there have been issues with every chassis and every action. That's why every chassis company has an extended mag catch you can file to fit. Buddy had his new mpa out the other night and it needed a longer catch to work with the bergara mags.
