We will be talking about the longer posts internally, a very solid maybe. For right now, they will need to be requested.
Brother, if that's what you want then that's what you want.
Possibly in the future, adding a lot of new color options to the line up is a huge thing internally right now.
Thank you so very much, Anthony. I have to complement MDT (and in particular you and Josh) for being super responsive to inquiries here on the Hide. That really cements customer loyalty, IME.

100% would purchase a 1-piece enclosed top - control bridge style or NVG bridge, don't care. I just want it to be enclosed... and after seeing Hennig's backwards mount, I really like the sleek symmetry of the bottom & top of the chassis angled.

I got lucky and checked the MDT site earlier this week and they had new lefties in stock. The package just showed up today.Left Hand Sale - MDT ACC ELITE

Anthony is on vacation right now, but I can say that we're just trying to keep up with production demands right now! I am sure that once Black Friday and our production hype has settled a little, we will be sure to sell them as an individual SKU! [That puts us in the "early next year" timeframe most likely].
Anything that's 1 mlok pattern wide will fit. I'm sure you could find a picatinny section to fit if you wanted to put something there. You can mount a send it adapter there as well.
Nothing in the works specifically for that right now unfortunately!
Thanks for the feedback and we are getting a lot of data from those 3d prints right now to validate whether or not we want to invest the money to make something like Francis has designed!
Cuz why sell 1 shield when you can sell 4! In January they'll probably have the half shield to make it look nice, then they'll sell that too. Nickel and dime you to death......
Poor engineering? Maybe they assumed nobody will want a perfectly flush fit covered rail? I understand the short rails in the ability to mix and match if you want a Pic rail atop the bridge. I don't like their execution of the bridge sections, I however have two atop my chassis.
Good question! In many cases of aftermarket R700 clones, the scope base rail sit's flush to the end of the action, but on an actual Remington with a bolted on scope base rail, it is extremely common for them to overhang further forward (including our design). In that case, it is illogical for us to make the NV/Control bridges flush with the front of the action because we'd almost certainly run into compatibility issues.
Bold claim cotton! We generally avoid anything leaving our doors without being properly vetted, tested, broken and revised numerous times by internal and external testers, so the claim of "poor engineering" is a little hurtful. Regardless; I didn't anticipate shooters wanting to fully enclose their forend with control/NV bridges, and rather saw most o internal/external development testers running 1 or 2 of them along the forend to actually mount NV or use as a forward control point (hence the name). Furthermore, as the bell of your scope undoubtedly extends forward of your scope base rail (or integral rail) then it is not necessary to have the bridges extend rearward to cover off the chamber in the event that you are trying to bock mirage.
An ai atx chassis is $1300 and their full length bridge is $275. The acc elite is $1600, full bridge is another 420$(3.5 control bridge pieces). Say what you want, companies like to make profits. I own both, prefer the forend of the atx, but prefer the acc elite buttstock because with lower/thinner cheek and adj mag latch. However the atx chassis has better execution on all their tool-less adjustments vs the elite(plus all their hardware is coated, no rusting after a light rainGood question!

Finally, we do not try to Nickle-and-dime our customers as we were founded on the principal of our founder not being able to afford an AI chassis, so he made his own! We try to provide premium products at an affordable price range where possible

Eggsactly. Yeah, the atx is the most affordable chassis that AI has ever sold, it's also the best they've ever sold, cept it doesn't come with the folder included, oh that's another 250$, but a folding atx is still cheaper than standard unfoldable elite.And Josh was just explaining that the idea behind the MDT chassis is to make it affordable because the founder, at one time, could not afford the gucci name.

I have a few......I also have xlr, mdt, xylo, krg, had a foundation I like to try, keep what I like. Some people love the spuhr chassis, I think it's ugly as phuck and it doesn't fit me well at all. Different strokes for different folks. My points about the atx chassis were just price related. There sadly is no one chassis/stock that is the best of all in every way for every shooter.They have an official fanboy thread for that ugly piece of shit here, if you're interested:
Accuracy International AT-X
Hey all. Hoping someone knows more about the rifle or others here. I want the new AT-X, I’ve never owned an AI but always wanted one. First is magazines. Will regular AICS mags fit into it or is it only the AI double stack mags? I want to find a magazine that holds 12 rounds for PRS and want to...
I understand what you're saying, and I think that we both agree, we're just handling the problem from wither side of the forend in this case! What I am saying is that in order to remove that overhang at the front, you'd move the bridges all back a notch on the forend, but then you'd run into your action/scope base at the back. We never intended for anyone to want to run a control bridge(s) all the way from front to rear, and maybe
And I totally get that part, too. Manufacturing. For example, I have the MDT LSS Gen 2 with the folding stock adapter and the SCS butt stock. And two of the Oryx chassis. Those pads are unforgiving. One one of my regular stocks I have a Falcon Strike hydraulic recoil pad that is very comfortable. I sent a drawing and a pic to Falcon Strike and eventually had a phone call with one of the engineers. There is not a way to adapt their AR style carbine pad and it is cost prohibitive to make a special run piece just for little ole me. So, Limbsaver Airtech works well. It just doesn't look "factory."
Thank you for the feedback, we will take it into consideration in the future.
Personally, I like the one on the left...slanted back toward the shooter. But...its not my chassis! haha
We currently do offer a Tikka T3/T3X SA inlet in the ACC Elite chassis!
