We’ve seen lots of chassis rifles in the last several years, but MK Machining has further refined their chassis with significant weight reductions, performance enhancements and they’ve expanded their compatibility. Oh, and it’s a bullpup.
MK 2 Bullpup Chassis, by MK Machining
The basics of the MK 2 is that you can take any Model 700 action (long or short) with a barrel and drop it into this bullpup chassis. On average, you’ll end up reducing the length of the rifle by 12″ and you’ll make it much more balanced as well.
It works with both left- and right-handed actions (just swap the cheek piece on the stock). New this year, the chassis is compatible with Tikka T3 actions, too.
But it’s not just shorter. The stock is completely customizable to your body. The handguard has M-Lok slots and an ARCA base rail, and there’s a 20 MOA Picatinny rail on top.
The trigger linkage has been improved this year, as well. The operating rods are now encapsulated for enhanced performance. Timney makes Calvin Elite, the adjustable single-stage trigger which can range from 4oz to 2lbs pull weight. The whole chassis weighs just 3.5lbs.
The whole chassis is 6061 aluminum with steel and bronze components. The grip is printed by MK Machining (they’re one of the largest 3D printing houses in the country) and is compatible with standard AR grips, and it’s compatible with AICS mags. They can customize the finish in Cerakote, hard anodized, or others of your choosing.
MK Machining is taking orders for the MK 2 chassis, and it’ll cost you around $2,000.
