KRG W chassis

They are on a gen 6 design ( I have 2 gen 5s and a gen 4 all 3 folders). The great thing about the KRG Whiskey series chassis is how modular and rigid they are. I can't speak for the Impact actions, but some of the things I like about the KRG chassis is the large grip panels, angle bag rider and tubular forend (or spigot). The folding mechanism locks solid and it has plenty of room to use an M24/40 or heavy palma barrel.

The rifle below shows the enclosed forend with an M24/40 contour barrel.


The picture below shows the regular forend with a spigot and heavy palma.

I just picked up a used non folder in left hand, the buyer wanted to move it, so the price was right, I ended up with the enclosed forend and the XL ARCA rail as bonus. I'm thinking on running a 24" M24 contour, spiral fluted? in 6.5 PRC, I think I'll have enough room? I really don't know much about the stock, however it was an excellent option for a "lefty" . Thanks for the comment and input.I would have likely preferred the folder? however this was too a deal to pass up. I do believe that I could add the TRG folding stock later? but for a $$$$

Here is a few pics, I'm pretty sure it's a Gen 6, and it has the enclosed forend which I like.

I'm running a LA gen 5. I like the adjustability of it..

Look in the PX. You might find a smokin deal.

KRG is really doing things right. Continue to improve their products and listen to customer feedback. They are reasonably priced also. Definitely keep an eye out in classifieds!

I’m running a sako in a gen 5 w3 and I love it. I also like that I can email a question and usually will get a reply within an hour or 2 from them with the answer. They definitely are doing it big there.

I love mine, however, you might want to check what mods are necessary to clear your trigger hanger on a 737 action.

What are they? I just emailed KRG to find out.

There’s a KRG Whiskey 3 “Let’s See them”. Pretty sure it’s touched on somewhere in there.

I have a G6 Whiskey 3. I’ve yet to find a better fitting chassis. I have a narrow face and bony ass jaw. The cheek piece is just perfect and makes it a breeze to get centered in the scope without have to roll my face over. Reach to trigger with medium hands = perfect. Cycle the bolt and thumb naturally wants to land on the thumb rest. Man do I feel square behind it. I like the somewhat thinner recoil pad too. It’s small than a Decelerator or Limb Saver. Good LOP adjustments and very solid with tool-less adjustments and with a folding stock.

I have a KRG with a factory Tikka sitting in it. It has been a great chassis, and has a good fit and feel for the money I think. Only thing I had to do to mine was file off the mag catch a little bit because the lips of my AICS were dragging a bit on the bolt.

Does the Lone Peak Fusion have any issues? Appears the lug and rail are part of the action, no screws? Don't see any info just yet


Pretty amazing, KRG already replied with info! My decision, think I will do a Fuzion.

Their response time is always off the chain. Excellent people over there. I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with Justin many times.

I have a Lone Peak in mine. Everything is good. Had to relieve some material for the TT safety lever. No big deal.

I relieved the material in the chassis not on the safety lever. You’re bolt handle may come in contact with the grip panel.

I’d give Travis Stevens a call. Benchmark MTU. Thick girl.

Hey troops, I just took delivery of my chassis, it's a lefty and for a REM SA, here are some pics, I'm wondering if the previous owner had some "inletting" done around the trigger area and V-block? There does appear to be some "dremel" work just behind the relief for the bolt handle? it looks to be "covered up" with some cold blue?

i really want one of these chassis

Uh like a lot of inletting. What was in it before?

Well he sent me the pics in the second post I made in the thread, I'm gonna say a Vudu 22 action?

Are you putting one of those in it or a 700 / clone?

If a 700 / clone I’d send that to KRG. Seems to be a decent amount of material removed pretty close to the rear action screw.

I had a gen 3 folder and was not a fan. Very uncomfortable and sometimes painful to shoot big range sessions. Ended up selling it. It’s a very well designed chassis and the guys at KRG are all first rate warriors. It I did have some issues with fasteners coming lose and pieces missing.

I like tikkas chassis as well as Cadex and mpa. If I had to buy one it would probably be a mpa.

I was thinking on a Defiance Ruckus SA action in 6.5PRC?

Medium action won’t work in a SA. PRC can be ran in a short.

Oh duh I’m stupid. Defiance calls the short a medium... That just now clicked.

I guess other than the "dremel" work for the safety, behind the bolt handle notch, the folks at KRG said it should be OK and work?
I don't have lots of experience with chassis, I've done a few AI's, and it's been "easy peasy" so maybe I'm just over reacting?
I guess this is one of the drawbacks of buying used?

If they’re okay it I wouldn’t worry. Area near the rear action screw just looks to be missing a significant amount of metal.

mark5pt56 said:

Who's he with?

All I'm after is a barreled action I can pop into chassis and torque two screws. Not really doing "a build" meaning waiting for someone to do the same.

TS Customs. He does prefits.

Just orderd a W3 competition , for those that are running the krg w3’s what are yalls rifle weighing in at? Anyone put weights in the chassis ?

I have a folder KRG W Gen 3 , Tikka 308 in the chassis. I have zero issues with this chassis. Once assembled and on the Tikka, its been perfect for me. I did put the spigot mount on the chassis and I think that really made a difference for shooting off my Atlas bipod. KRG is responsive and supportive. Great folks.

Ya, I"m on the fence now, I might be moving on to a Cadex competition chassis?

You could always ask to buy a new backbone. I had asked awhile back if it was possible but never went so far as to ask price and went with a different chassis for a shorty build. I’m sure that option would be more cost effective.

I’ve always wanted to try a Cadex be it a chassis or full blown rifle. A PDC Custom chassis might be worth a look.

Well if he doesn't take it back? maybe he gives me a partial refund so that I have some room to move on the price for resale, once the dremel work is disclosed? and I can break even? I'm really not that invested in this chassis, and a Cadex new will come in at about the same price?

I'm kinda surprised that he needed to "dremel" the trigger, I run Triggertech and REM 40X and have installed them in AI chassis with no issues and Manners stocks? What kind of trigger for a REM SA needs all that dremel work?

He also did some dremel work on the bolt handle area? not only on the large grips but the chassis itself. ;(

Yeah by the time you do add ons to the KRG it gets easily over 1300. I don’t know about the Field Comp but their others chassis are about $1700 and there aren’t a bunch of accessories if required. Unless it’s a buddy I doubt they’d refund it. Especially if you knew about the modifications beforehand.

The TriggerTech Diamond is what I had to remove some metal in the space for the safety lever. Other chassis that I have are more generous with the room.

I can probably get a pretty good discount on the Cadex, ya I wouldn't be so disappointed if he had told me about it? , it's not like I wouldn't have not noticed it. I'm guessing he had something to hide.

Click to expand...

not the w3 competition, but this is my particular weight. W3 folder, for end weight, heavy barricade, heavy angled bag rider, single lop weight, arca rail, arca spigot, Harris with Krg arca attachment, spuhr, Minox zp-5, 28” heavy varmint, apa lil bastard. Weight is 21.4 lbs

My current weight is around 20lbs , curtis axiom MPA m40 barrel contour , mcmillian m40a4 stock, thunderbeast bipod , vortex rzr gen 2 with 419 hellfire brake , i would like to stuck around the same weight when i switch from stock to chassis

mark5pt56 said:

How much material? If possible , a pic

Its nothing crazy and limited to the already existing area for the safety lever. Nothing more than that. Can’t seem to find the picture. It should be in a thread somewhere.

I think you would need to add 2 lbs of weight to hit 20.
