MDT ESS Chassis System Install and Overview

[@JacksonMalcolm]

MDT Josh is the best, everyone knows you love what you do and It shows. I keep going back and forth between the ESS and ACC. I'm not a huge match shooter but occasionally do and I just like how the ESS looks better!

[@MDTTAC]

We will let him know, thank you for the kind words! The ESS is also a great choice, and it's modular so you can set it up how you need to!

[@nonofyourbusinessnonofyour5435]

Practical Precision Shooting I agree ESS looks better

[@nonofyourbusinessnonofyour5435]

MDT - Modular Driven Technologies is that ESS around 3.4 lbs with 15” forhand? Weight: Chassis: 1.6lb, Fore-end: 0.6lb - 1lb, Butt-stock: 2lb.

[@DLN-ix6vf]

For bolt on buttstock I used my hand then a large flat screwdriver and finished with an allen key. Done no problem !

[@paulfeist]

I like how he avoids saying "A monkey could figure this out... if you can't tighten a few bolts without an instruction video, maybe this isn't the sport for you"... I kid, I kid... Excellent design with simple installation. This is a VERY nice looking chassis, and god bless you for having some Left Hand options, and some Tikka options! Us Left Handed Tikka fans have long been frustrated by lack of chassis!

[@philipschofield7105]

Love this, getting one soon and I was just wondering if I'll have to worry about recoil lug trickery. Great stuff guys, that's why I'm choosing mdt for my build.

[@timmyjg1981]

MDT, do you recommended using thread locker on the bolts? I have an ESS chassis ordered.

[@MDTTAC]

It depends on what bolts you are referring to. We pre-thread lock any bolt that needs it. You can always add some in areas you feel it needs it.

[@GM4ThePeople]

At first blush, looks to be the best one yet. An iterative process of approaching minimalist rifle chassis perfection. Looking forward to a demo or review on the ESS Folding Buttstock.

[@MDTTAC]

The folder has been out for about a year now and there are reviews out there from independent sources. We are sure you'll love it, if you don't, we offer a 30 day 100% satisfaction guarantee so you can try it risk free.

@@MDTTAC I am new to firearms, but I have been to your website already. Would you be kind enough to give some examples of specific brand and model # that your ESS chassis would fit. I greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance. (I am looking at Savage Elite Precision as one of the rifles I am currently considering, but as I mentioned would like to have a list of alternatives to compare).

[@MDTTAC]

@@mohsenraghian210 It's tough to give model numbers as we are unable to verify them all. However, as long as you have a rifle that meets the inlet that is available in the chassis, you will be good to go. If you have specific fitment questions, please send us what model of rifle you have or are interested in, and our support team will be happy to help. support.mdttac.com/hc/en-us

[@mohsenraghian210]

@@MDTTAC Great, Thank you.

[@mohsenraghian210]

@@MDTTAC I am back again. I looked at your website and ESS chassis can accommodate Savage 110 precision and that is how the rifle comes with. My question is whether it is foldable or not?

[@jakerice6584]

What is the weight of this? I wish MDT would advertise the weights of their chassis

[@kryk911]

MDT - TOP👍

[@ericwilliams2317]

Love the ESS, I've got two of them.

[@TheBvirgilio86]

I just tried installing the buttstock to my ESS chassis last night and the screw mine came with is substantially longer and leaves the buttstock over a 1/4" from being tight. I'm not sure if the female threads are supposed to go all the way to the end of the hole but the last 1/3rd is not threaded. Guess I'm calling MDT next week.

[@MDTTAC]

You likely just got the wrong screw. Please e-mail [e-mail] and we will get you the right hardware!

[@cwoodside907]

Wouldn't you want to glass bed the receiver recoil lug into the stock before torquing it down?

[@MDTTAC]

With the design of our chassis, there is no need to bed.

[@jianliu9420]

Can you install a tikka short action with folder stock on ess?

[@oldskoolj23]

Will a straight pull bolt action assembly like the savage Impulse action will work in this chassis system?

[@MDTTAC]

Not yet, but make sure you leave us a request! mdttac.com/pre-ordering-information

[@miscarlett1]

This chassis is shown to be compatible with the Ruger American, but it is unavailable as an option to purchase on the website. Is this available or no?

[@MDTTAC]

We have discontinued it, but there are some available. If you would like one we can set that up.

[@miscarlett1]

[@tedbundy7167]

What size is the barrel on the video? 20” or 24” and it’s with the 15” rail right?? Thanks

[@MDTTAC]

That should be a 20" with the 15" forend

[@mohsenraghian210]

what AR brand barrel/pistol are you using?

[@darkspectro100]

I was trully expecting a 20" full rail for more support on ELR shots.

[@MDTTAC]

Hello! We do offer an 18" full rail forend if you would like, it's under the configurator, when we built the package, the 15" no rail forend was the most popular choice.

[@darkspectro100]

@@MDTTAC thanks. 20 is what I have in mind but not available. Thanks. Great video.

[@MDTTAC]

@@darkspectro100 No problem!

[@johnpan78]

I am in the process of ordering this chassis for my rifle. Is this compatible with Tikka T3x Lite?

[@MDTTAC]

Yes, it sure is!

[@johnpan78]

​@@MDTTAC I got my order. I have to say I am so disappointed. The stock connection to the chassis is very poorly engineered and if you buy something cheap from China it will come with some tools. I have a lot of tools but I can't install the stock and I have to buy the "ball head Allen" just for this installation. So disappointed. Those nice looking round bolts on the stock to adjust different components are replaced with plastic ones and on mine the one at the end of the stock to adjust the vertical pad is damaged and I can't screw or unscrew it.

[@MDTTAC]

@@johnpan78 Hi John, Thank you for the feedback, and we're sorry to hear about your experience. We see you e-mailed us directly and we will get the requested return set up for you.

[@DLN-ix6vf]

@@johnpan78 I just used my hand then a large flat screwdriver and finished with an allen key ! DONE !

[@Guillo78]

What about the savage 110 long action bottom bolt release ? Thoes that fit on the savage la model of the chassis

[@MDTTAC]

Yes, we support both bolt release positions on all of our Savage inlets.

[@Guillo78]

@@MDTTAC thanks and damn youtube not telling me that you reply

Hello! Unfortunately, we are not looking at supporting Sako at this time. We are always looking to increase our product line if the requests are there. Please use this link to put your request in. Thank you for reaching out! mdttac.com/pre-ordering-information

[@mahbuddykeith1124]

Is this chassis compatible with Ultimatum Deadline actions?

[@MDTTAC]

Yes it is, but you may need to make minor modifications to the magazine latch for proper feeding. We have a mag latch kit available for it.

[@1mykah]

Is this available in Long Action?

[@ryanholmquist1693]

Yes it sure is! check it out here - mdttac.com/us_en/ess-chassis-system.html

[@oldskoolj23]

Does this chassis system accept Magpul AICS magazine?

[@MDTTAC]

It depends on the action. If you have a Remington 700 then yes, they will work. If you do not have a Remington 700, slight modification will be required.

[@oldskoolj23]

Thanks for the feedback I was very curious cause I have a Savage 110

[@MDTTAC]

They will need a bit of fitting, but they will work!

[@nicholasvolo9317]

What length rail and barrel is that in the video?

[@MDTTAC]

The forend being installed is the 15" no rail version.

[@brodin-of-the-odins5067]

Mdt needs to start making left handed models just saying

[@MDTTAC]

We already do! Our LSS-XL and ESS are available for select left-handed rifles.
