Hi guys, new member here. I've had several people tell me there are some folks here who would love to see a project I've been working on.
I'll tell you a bit about it, then there will be some pics at the bottom.
I'm a long time precision, long range, and competitive rifle shooter. Through the past few years I've got to mess with Desert Tech (formerly DTA) bullpup rifles, and really like the reduced length, and features they offer. But their price is out of my budget, and that of many shooters. Which led to me developing my own chassis for popular bolt actions, starting with Remington 700 short action, including some features I think are pretty neat:
Modular design, you will be able to interchange different parts to make the chassis how you want it. This includes rear sections, forends, rail placement, M-lok, keymod, rail cant, etc.
Adjustable length of pull, recoil pad height, recoil pad cant, and cheekpiece horizontal and vertical adjustment.
AICS and AW magazine compatability, I think they're simply the best in the industry. Eventually the plan is offer other magazine inlet types for whatever a customer prefers.
Trigger and safety assembly comes installed in the chassis. You just unbolt your rifle from the existing stock, knock out the trigger pins, bolt in the barreled action, and reinstall pins to hold the trigger and safety assembly already in the chassis to your action.
Here is a rendering of what the first chassis will look like
And here is where I'm at so far. Trying real hard to get this first prototype done by deer season in a few weeks, so I can carry it around and see what I think needs changed for version two
Hope I didn't bore everyone! If you're interested in further developments, I'll post them here if there is good feedback, alternatively I have a facebook page at "MK Machining" you can follow for more information.
Thanks,
Tyler
