I’m with this guy ☝?☝?Unfortunately, that rules it out as a choice, for me - and for anyone with shorter arms. Have you guys considered releasing a shorter buttstock option? I run a 13.5" LOP, and could really use 13.25".

Lol 98% chance lol.You’re wrong. You know you’re gonna buy an ACC when they shorten up the LOP
YesDoes the kit come with action screws? I'm considering one for a tikka.
Is your stock on a Tikka action?
Not sure if this has been answered yet but does the buttstock pad cant left and right? I know I can move up and down and LOP can be adjusted
Thanks!This post in this thread illustrates the movements.
Sorry if I missed it in this thread, but can anyone tell me the width of the forend? I see that the internal weights are 1.44”, but I can’t find how wide it is from the two outside faces of the forend. Thanks!
Hi all, can you talk me through what weights you used and what the objective was? My action and barrel make my rifle quite front heavy. I was going to get a rear weight but my retailer in australia didn’t have the rear weight/bag rider.
Is there a video somewhere about setting it up perhaps?

Side note: finish is not durable at all. My calipers easily rubbed it off.
Some spots appear to be shiny metalLike rubbed off completely or just rubbed the finish enough to make a slight marking...
First of all, thanks everyone for jumping in and answering questions!
Secondly, the reasoning behind the weights was for total balance of the system @eveyoz . By adding and removing weight in the buttstock/forend channel you can alter where your rifle balances and make it easier to shoot off of unstable positions. With a heavy barrel, action and scope, your barreled action will weigh anywhere from 8-13 lbs, and the chassis allows you to add anywhere from 5-13 lbs or so to that.
The common trend in the NRL and PRS right now is to build heavier rifles (20-25 lb finished weight), not have to hike them very far between stages and be very stable in a huge variety of positions. Additionally, the weights can all be removed for a field/team match where you need to hike 10 miles in a day and you can run the same chassis for both!
Thanks Josh, I held off getting any weights because the rear weight wasn’t available.
I’m hoping someone does a video showing their process, I’ve seen someone say they were aiming to balance theirs just in front of the magazine.
I understand that the bag rider is also a weight, and that those front chassis weights have qd flush cups in them?
Cerakote shouldn't just rub off like that?

Others just look like rub Mark's

It will only rub off if you catch it with the sharper end of the calipers. If you just go flat-to-flat then you are right, it should hold up just fine
V22 is rem clone.i think it will drop inCan the ACC be inletted for a VGW V-22?
Can the ACC be inletted for a VGW V-22?
No worries and the rear, buttstock weight will be available again soon!
There are a handful of videos in the works now that will show a full installation and balancing of all of the components of the ACC! I will try to remember to post them when they are online and public.
The bag rider does add a little weight, but it is not steel so it's not as heavy as you'd think. Also, yes, the forend weights all have a QD flush cup machined in so that you can have a sling point wherever you'd like or room for other accessories.
@MDT_Josh do you happen to know the rationale as to why the butt pad module on the ACC has 1 screw and 2 stabilizer bars but the butt pad module on the skeleton rifle stock has one screw and only one stabilizer bar even though the main buttstock piece appears to support a module with 2 bars?
Yes, that's what our CEO runs on his Tikka match gun@MDT_Josh , will the chassis accept the Timney 2-stage trigger for Tikka's? Thanks

Thanks Josh, sounds like a wise man does the Chassis come with its own lug for Tikka's?
He's a pretty smart guy haha. All of our tikka chassis come with an upgraded, CNC machined steel recoil lug.
@MDT_Josh cant wait to get my ACC in. Any idea on when the chassis should be back in stock? The wait is killing me haha
There are 2 on each side of the buttstock.Does the buttstock have any QD sling attachments on it? Flushcups?
The ACC arrived yesterday, my tikka 6BR bolted in without fuss and I spent a couple of hours 'playing' with the various features and dry-firing while getting the system tailored to me.

The first thing that jumps out is just how well machined the ACC is, this is my first product from MDT and I wasn't sure what to expect - the fit and finish is simply outstanding.
The m-lok system works well too, installing the flush cup and pic rail was simple and the lock up appears to be very secure. I've got all five internal weights installed and the setup as pictured weighs 18.3lb, I've got a few of the external weights, a bag rider and the rear buttstock weight inbound, so I expect the total weight to be approaching 22.5lb. Interestingly, the total weight without the internal weights was right at 15.1lb - which is on the lighter side for a comp rifle. The point being that MDT nailed the weight range adjustability so users aren't married to a boat anchor if they want to strip some weight off - this really matters to me.
The buttstock system is very intuitive and easy to use and the vertical grip adjustability is a masterstroke, I've got large hands and by pulling the grip all the way to the rear position I can get a perfect 90 deg finger position. Re the buttstock I've yet to work out where all the set-screws go but I assume they substitute for the thumb screws for a more permanent arrangement.
Unfortunately there are some significant problems with my particular chassis - or at least with how my ACC interfaces with my RRS hardware. Both my Anvil 30 and my SC-LR clamp do not function with the Arca rail on the ACC. Which is to say that in the Halfway Open position the clamp is totally locked to the rail rather than being able to slide. And the force required to put the clamp in the Fully Closed position is white knuckle grip of death stuff while opening from the closed position is even harder. I use my Anvil and SC-LR on other Arca rails and it functions as intended there - so I can only assume that MDT have used a different rail spec. Perhaps @MDT_Josh can clarify. Also, to my knowledge the RRS clamps aren't user adjustable for clap tension (beyond the open, half open and closed positions), but if I'm mistaken there perhaps @MPHReallyRightStuff can correct me.
All up I'm pretty darn impressed. I'm a stock guy through and through and have been for years, but I'm keen to get some trigger time behind the MDT. If I can sort out the Arca issue there's really no way I can fault its execution towards its intended design brief.

Edit - I got out my rubber hammer, attached the Mini fortune cookie bag via the SC-LR clamp and gave it a a few solid nudges. Managed to work the clamp across the ACC's Arca rail a number of times - this seems to have helped somewhat - getting the clamp into the final closed position is still a SOB, but it's definitely less difficult, I still can't easily slide the clamp in the half open position, but at least I can move it with a shove. I'm guessing with repeated use it will wear the Cerakote and continue to smooth out.
@BallisticPrimate and @Tactical Taz I appreciate the kind words and great review! We really did work hard on this chassis, and to see the early support it's getting makes me happy
To clarify the RRS/Arca dovetail issue, @MPHReallyRightStuff, myself and others we work with have had a few discussions on this offline and have come up with a solution. Essentially, this was our first go at machining the RRS dovetail into a chassis (rather than just a bolt on accessory) and the early ones had some slight... hiccups. This is only prevalent with the RRS lever clamps and you will not see it with the knob-type attachments (not sure what Buck was doing at SHOT lol). We have since corrected some of our machining processes, and are more than happy to switch out your chassis if you'd like?
