What does it weigh? Are these going to be made available in the UK? If so, where from, what price and when?

Thanks,

Re: MDT TAC21 Chassis system

SakoTRG FAN, the tan one in the second pic on the original post has a cutout behind the bolt for the standard Remington safety location. The other chassis pictured looks like it's made for a bottom safety (or no safety BR type) setup. I have an email in to MDT with a few questions on the chassis & will post up when I get a response from them.

Re: MDT TAC21 Chassis system

Spoke with MDT via e-mail... Laszlo seems like a real nice guy & answered all the questions I had. They are working on getting a couple of US distributors lined up.

Also, the $999 is for the chassis without a buttstock or pistol grip.

Re: MDT TAC21 Chassis system

Does it require an action with a trigger based bolt stop or is it intended to work like tube guns with no bolt stop? Any reason someone couldn't mill a slot to accommodate an action with a side bolt stop?
 
Re: MDT TAC21 Chassis system

Hello everyone!
Just a couple of notes on our Tac21 chassis system to clarify a few things.
1. It is for the Rem700 short action 223 or 308, right hand. Left hand version will be released towards the end of may 2011. This is also true for the Rem700 long action 338LM as well.
2. All Tac21 chassis come with the safety slot recess on the side to accommodate the factory safety.
3. Tac21 chassis also accommodates the factory bolt stop if you so choose to use it.
4. No GLUE-IN needed. However if you choose to Glue your action into the Tac21 chassis to squeeze every bit of accuracy out of your rifle, you do need to use a trigger with a bottom safety. You will still have the option to re-barrel your rifle as needed.
5. And finally Pricing for the US Market. MSRP is $900 without a magazine. as we are not allowed to ship magazines south we have discounted the Tac21 chassis system by the price of the magazine. Also made allowances for higher volume sales and currency Exchanges.

The magazines we are using (Accurate mags) are made in the USA, There is no need to get them shipped up here add taxes, duties and shipping on top and resell them in the USA. They are readily available for purchase at your local dealers or we can suggest a place where they can be purchased.

Currently they are available in a limited quantity for purchase in the US direct through MDTTAC. com or sales@mdttac. com

We have also sent one Tac21 chassis system for test and evaluation by Snipers hide/rifles only, so there should be a review on here fairly soon. Depending on how busy they are. It may also be available for purchase through them in the near future.
Hope this helps answer some of the questions.
Regards,
Laszlo

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: MLC</div><div class="ubbcode-body">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. </div></div>

Savage model coming soon. The savage Reps I talked to were very impressed and welcome the Tac21 chassis system for their Rifles. regards,

Re: MDT TAC21 Chassis system

One comment and one question.

Comment - Would rather mount my scope to the action not some chassis.

Question - Do you have to remove the action from the chassis to remove the bolt?
 
Re: MDT TAC21 Chassis system

I was wondering that myself and watched the video from their site and it's a push pin for the end cap, looked easy as an HK type. The stock "buffer" tube (receiver extension) screws into the end cap like an AR. If using the collapsing stock, you could stake the castle nut like on an "M4"

My plans-lightweight bolt gun with irons and low power scope. Adding irons is as easy as 2 screws like an AR
 
Re: MDT TAC21 Chassis system

To those not seeing the point of an AR-styled bolt action, consider us in Australia who cannot own semi-auto's, or most of us anyway.
 
Re: MDT TAC21 Chassis system

Looks awesome. I might have to try one when it comes time to build a new rifle.

I wish they would make a end cap with a folding stock designed specifically for this chassis, for those that want the option of not using AR stocks... I like folders, and from an appearance standpoint, the ar stocks look like an afterthought on a chassis that is otherwise a very clean.

I concur on that. Looks great but AR stocks on a bolt gun seem almost strange. Just my opinion though.

Hi I know this is a really old post but did you ever get a answer to this or try it yourself?
 
I’ve been shooting with one for a year and really like it. Very stable and adjustable with the shorter skeleton buttstock that MDT sells. I was going to get the 15” MLOK handguard to round it off but I was able to snag my dream rifle, a Desert Tech SRS for a steal so the Tac-21 setup is going up for sale.
if you don’t mind the bulkier chassis I think they’re awesome.
