*7. Yes, last week Texas Weapon Systems introduced a Yugo specific mount. Same price as the regular mount.

Let's see how this one goes then we'll look at maybe doing others:)

Actually, I've been contacted by several folks that are interested in a group buy. If we can put together a group of twenty then I'll commit to making them for $300.00 per unit. For that price you get the following chassis for the Mosin Nagant 91/30: -Receiver module for the round not the hex...

A little more progress. The action has been bedded and the chassis painted. Here it is in desert tan. Proximity of bolt to buttstock

That's pretty nice. For now I'm just going to make my current stock work. When I get to the design of the purpose built stock it will need something like that.

Dirty Jim, The good thing about AR stocks is that you can usually find some combination of accessories that will work. The one I have in the pictures is an ATI and it came with a cheek riser that is a little too short. As a first solution I'll just make a taller riser that will fit that stock...

If the stock is moved any higher it will cause interference with the bolt.

You bet, it's way off right now. It definitely needs a cheek riser of some kind. Keep in mind that this is a basic modular chassis kit the end user can configure to their liking. The AR stock is a starting point. If there is enough interest in the project then I could design a fully adjustable...

The bolt handle was fairly easy although I do want to make a new one from scratch. What I did is cut 1/2 way down through the shaft and then heat and bend. Still needs to be welded but, I may not bother since it will be replaced fairly soon. The safety does work. The ID of the cover is just...

That's a pretty cool idea. In this case you would have to disassemble the chassis to get to the q/c nut but, it could work.

Thanks, but I'm not really in the gunsmithing biz. I'm set up for the CNC machining but not processing individual builds like that.

I totally see your point even though the cost would be quite a bit lower than you guessed. In fact, I struggled with that a bit as I was working on this. Kinda like making a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I pushed on though just as an engineering exercise. As development progressed I began...

You would need a head like a melon. Definitely needs a cheek riser which I still need to make up. First, shorter scope rings are in order.

Thanks for the thumbs up.

Yes, it's all CNC machined. If there were sufficient interest to produce a batch of them I think I think the cost can be brought down to about $300 bucks for the chassis system. Of course the stock, grip, and bipod is up to the user.
