Re: MDT TAC21 Chassis system

I'm not selling this or involved in it's development and this is the only other information they've added:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">eta:Rifle pictured sits at 14 lbs with a 22" Medium Palma contour barrel, Incuding scope and bipod. Action is not glued in but a TR beta tester has indicated that he may glue in.


Here's a few pics to get us started, pricing and delivery times pending.We will have a first batch CGN special. Expected retail will be under 1K.Working on pricing for first run which will include a CGN special pricing. We will be taking reservations but NO money will be required until product is ready to ship. Expected deliver is 90 days. We have a half dozen prototypes in the field right now, some with local LEO for T&E. Rooster33 and Sparrow will be showing them around the lowermainland and the valley ranges.

Contact either Sparrow or Rooster33 or MDT directly here. </div></div>

If you want to know more, you'll have to PM the OP in the link above.

+1 I like it a lot, more easy on the eyes than some of the other chassis systems out there.
 
Re: MDT TAC21 Chassis system

Savage should take a look at that chassis as an example of how to make AR furniture work on a bolt gun.
It looks great and might tempt me out of my McMillan 223AI handle.
 
Re: MDT TAC21 Chassis system

This is pretty cool. It resembles the Barrett 98B quite a bit, which is definitely not a bad thing. Hopefully the actual price will be $799 it's right in the same price as the XLR

Don't get me wrong, I like the tan one.
 
Re: MDT TAC21 Chassis system

I prefer the rounded forend on the XLR. I don't do all my shooting off sandbags or prone off of a bipod. I like something a little friendlier on my grip. Still, it looks more rounded than an AI or McCree stock.
 
Re: MDT TAC21 Chassis system

It's nice to start seeing more and more options for chassis for bolt guns. I'm not sure I'll ever need to bed a stock again - especially now that manners has a chassis that fits their stocks.

AR-10's are heavy.

Looks like a heck of a reach to the trigger....

I guess I'm just not sold on the chassis theory for the Rem700. I think it's fixing a problem that doesn't exist with a traditional stock.

Except you don't need to bed a chassis and often have much greater modularity and options. For me, the no bedding issue alone is enough to push me into a chassis. Torque it to the correct specs and shoot it.

What modularity do you need on a bolt gun? It's not a carbine. Just sayin' </div></div>

Spot On!!!
 
Re: MDT TAC21 Chassis system

You can't hunt with and AR-10 in Canada, even though you can own them. Its probably more for looks than functionality though. It was likely designed to appeal to the tacticool crowd. Although, it's probably still more ergonomic than an AICS, at least for those of us with big mitts. I would welcome the longer trigger reach. The excessively short trigger reach in AI's stocks makes them unusable to me, and for the price their shit costs, they shouldn't be.

I'll stick with my McMillan A5s and Manners T4s in any case... I don't really see the point of modularity in a precision rig either. But, its something new, so I thought I would post it.

Up until late last year or early this year, this was not an option.. You can still get into a McRee for alot less than a fiberglass stock with a chassis. And with more adjustability.. My McRee might not be the easiest on eyes, but it suit's me..
 
Re: MDT TAC21 Chassis system

Since we are throwing opinions around, I'll put my 2 cents in.

I don't like most chassis. They do not support the receivers even close to the full bottom radius. Accuracy still may be there but while designing, why not go for maximum support and rigidity.

They get complex really quick with lots of spare parts and fasteners. They are usually heavy and they compromise a lot of asthetics for utility.

However, . . . I think this approach to the game is the best route. Tube style stocks are more rigid. Tube style stocks weather in and protect the action better. Monolithic rail setups are part of the design. Handling is as good as or better than the other "chassis" designs.

One other thing to consider is that any military users specifically want a stock that will help their snipers mix into the rest of the squad visually. During movement the snipers typically stick out like a sore thumb due to the unique visual signature of their rifles. Anthing that can help blend them into the rest of the squad while not penalizing performance is considered a plus.

While not in production, I designed and tested a similar stock to this about 6 years ago and believe in that basic layout.

I personally hate the feel and asthetics of these type stocks (including my own design) but feel that they do have a niche and also feel that they give up zero technical accuracy to a conventional stock.

Best regards,
Terry

I can't argue with the Manners mini chassis argument regarding bedding and such. That seems to be a really great product from manners.

As for modularity, it's not a big deal, but being able to put a different type buttstock on some chassis is nice, being able to move sling mounts to different places is kind of nice, being able to change the forend type is kind of nice.

I suppose you don't <span style="font-style: italic">need</span> modularity, but if I can have a modular stock that is as accurate as, and similar in weight to, a traditional stock without the need for bedding, I'm interested. Just because it's a bolt gun doesn't mean that options are bad.

As for the aesthetics, I guess I just don't care that much. I'd rather have it work well than look nice.

Re: MDT TAC21 Chassis system

Highly interested in this! I have a spare tree o ate in the closet that I ordered a base/rings for today to test the barrel. I've been throwing around the idea of the XLR or Mcree, etc and I like this option much much more. Any word on when we can get these?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Seddo</div><div class="ubbcode-body">They dont need to be glued in. There are ready for shipping. </div></div>

So then whats the price and where are these available???

Thanks,

Re: MDT TAC21 Chassis system

I like it. I'm in the market for a new stock this year, and I want a Manners with DBM and paint, but that will be $1200 so that's out of the question. I'd also like the AX chassis once that's released, but the price on that will be way too much so I might have to look into these MDT Tac21s more.
