The magazine well has been refined for easy insertion of the magazine, while reducing rattle and movement. The tab style magazine release has been replaced with a semi-flush ambidextrous paddle that can easily be activated by a weak or strong hand. The recoil lug mortise has been designed to accommodate most aftermarket recoil lugs, and the trigger area will accommodate most aftermarket triggers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A serrated barricade stop has been added to the front of the magazine well, and a polymer forend grip at the balance point adds comfort. The wide fore-grip area combined with the octagonal profiled forend tube offers flexible options when shooting over bags or improvised rests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thumb shelves have been added to both sides of the chassis for shooters who prefer an open grip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The most significant change is the incorporation of the ESS chassis specific buttstock interface, rather than the traditional AR pattern interface. This allows us to place the pistol grip in optimum relation to the trigger, while still allowing the shooter to choose from the wide variety of AR pattern pistol grips which suit their preference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The MDT ESS chassis comes with its own butt-stock, similar to our Skeleton Rifle Stock. It is fully adjustable including lateral adjustment for the butt-pad and the cheek rest. Cheek rest height and butt-pad length-of-pull are adjustable by thumb wheels.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #000000;\">SPECIFICATIONS<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul class=\"disc\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Weight: Chassis system including forend and buttstock is between 4.4 to 4.8lbs (depending on action)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Length of Pull: 13.4&#8243; &#8211; 14.4&#8243; (Based on Remington 700)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ambidextrous, easy reach magazine latch \u2013 can be operated with trigger finger or left hand<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The extra large magazine well for easy mag insertion\/removal<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Barricade stop in front of the magazine to prevent putting pressure on the magazine<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Angled front profile with hand grip for minute vertical adjustments and comfort\/protection from the elements<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thumb rests on both sides of the chassis<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Wide front profile for extra comfort\/stability when resting on flat surfaces<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Stock height at comb and heel \u2013 0.5\u201d below bore centerline. 1.0\u201d of riser adjustability<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Allows for barrel contours up to 1.300\u201d straight taper.
