Manner stock + Badger Mlok rail

[hetzen]

I’ll be ordering a Manners stock and I’m considering having this rail molded in.

Does anyone have any experience with this approach?

I think I’d skip any QD cups or swing swivel studs on the bottom of the stock and just run everything off the rail.

Ultimately I’d like to attach an Arca rail to this.

Thoughts on this set up? Pros/cons I should consider?

Hetzen, how did you make out with this? I'm thinking of doing the same.

Why do this when you can put an area419 arcalok rail directly on the stock?

I believe the Area 419 is designed for the DBM mini chassis. I am looking to run the BDL mini chassis. Maybe it would work just as well???

Didn’t end up going with it. Did a rail and QD cup up front. Mini chassis with barricade stop on the the t2a GAP. If I want an arca rail, I’ll add it to this set up.

Manners did recommend another rail, I believe, if I wanted to do mlok. Forgot which. Shoot them an email.

I had manners inlet 2 of my stocks for the Henderson mlok rail and got an area419 arca rail with mlok hardware to attach it to the stock. I did it this way because I wanted to be able to use pic or arca along the length of the forend.

If I was to do it again I'd just have them put in the hardware for the area419 rail and forget the mlok rail, especially on my flat bottom prs1t. The mlok rail protrudes slightly from the bottom of the stock and the area419 rail only contacts the rail and not the whole width of the flat bottom prs1t stock and could have a small amount of flex with the thin nature of the arca rail. Idlikento have seen the mlok rail recessed a bit more to atleast flush to allow the rails full contact with the stock but that's jmo.
