As cool as all these new chassis are i wonder if anyone has though of more practical designs that keep some of the key features.

Adjustable cheek +
lenght of pull +
Foldable stock, so a compact hard case can fit into my compact trunk
Target style vertical grip which i personally prefer over a pistol grip
And whats with all the rails on these new chassis

If i only had a CNC ..
 
Re: Stocks, if i only owned a CNC

I constantly think the same thing but more in a suppressor mindset.
 
Re: Stocks, if i only owned a CNC

Do people actucally read complete posts and process the info or do they just see what they want too, seriously ... Read the specs i listed if a chassis exists id like to know who makes it id look into it!

Note: i said vertical target NONE pistol grip, my eyes are open what r yours focused on?
 
Re: Stocks, if i only owned a CNC

aics is prob as close as you'll get....it's not a target style grip...but at least it's not a shitty pistol grip.

a folding manners with minichassis would honestly fit the bill I think

A vertical target grip? As opposed to a horizontal target grip? I like where your heads at!
 
Re: Stocks, if i only owned a CNC

Having a CNC is easy... what you make in it is the hard part.

As far as I know this system is the lightest modular chassis in the world. All others are about 2 pounds heavier.

Re: Stocks, if i only owned a CNC

Is that the CF XLR or something different? looks nice

LOL, pounds lighter....impossible. Love to see the real specs on that 1 pound chassis.
 
Re: Stocks, if i only owned a CNC

If I owned a CNC machine, I wouldn't know how to turn the freaking thing on, much less make anything out of it.
 
Re: Stocks, if i only owned a CNC

As far as I know the Alpine chassis is 2.5 lbs and breaks down to reduce the overall length and allows vertical adjustment on prone shots with its butt stock. As far as I know for a similar set up with the XLR it's 3.75 lbs and requires another .5 lbs for the folder adaptor to do the same thing. I guess I stand corrected at 1.75 lbs. However I would like to see them both on a scale. Considering both of them are right around the weight of most composite stocks I would have to say engineering and ergonomics comes into play at this point.

 
Re: Stocks, if i only owned a CNC

Just thinking about things here you could have two Alpine stocks with rifles in them and easily shoot both of them with one qd buttstock by quickly switching from one to the other.

Re: Stocks, if i only owned a CNC

Two questions -
1) What is the OAL with the stock disassembled?

2) What is backing the bipod mount into the CF? Is there a plate in there?

Re: Stocks, if i only owned a CNC

Since my rifle action is very rare I had to build my own it took almost two years but the result is very good. I put into the design every feature I wanted so I am very happy with it' next stepp is to remove some material to make it easier to carry.

I don't think I am the one in question here dumbass.

Also, see how my name shows up in yellow? That is because I support this site. That allows me the privilege of pushing my product on this site. You should probably complete your profile and consider being a site sponsor before you continue to push your (or your relatives/friends) copycat design.

I may be alone on this, but who cares about a couple of pounds. My XLR rifle is heavy, but that's not because of the chassis. 27" bull barrel with a huge and heavy scope and plenty of rails.

If it's to heavy, go to the gym and build muscle.


I would only think about weight if I was walking miles a day with one.

Nicely done. I know enough about machining to know that it would take me at least as long as you to build anything.

My XLR's all weigh exactly what XLR says they do and that includes the pistol grip.

Also, please fill out your profile.

 
Re: Stocks, if i only owned a CNC

Well call me a dumbass that’s cool, but personally I prefer a rifle that I want to actually use and carry around. Not one that just looks cool.

Two statements:

Almost every single one of your posts is pushing Alpine products. Do you not have anything else to add? It is a pathetic attempt at advertising and no one will take you seriously. As I said in another thread, I've seen you doing this on other forums and its not going to end well for you or Alpine. If you weren't associated with them, why would you feel like you need to defend the product?

+1. Your motive is obvious and 'Hide members are generally more discerning than members elsewhere. IE, you are not fooling anyone here.

And for the record, I've carried an XLR more miles than you'll probably walk in the next decade. I've competed with my XLR equipped rifle and I could easily hunt with it. I also like that fact that I know exactly who the guys are at XLR, I know exactly where their shop is located, and where their chassis are made. That is a heck of a lot more information than is offered on your generic brands website, or you have offered with your incomplete profile.

That's bad ass! You seem like a very focused and dialed individual. As for me I do about 20 miles a week of running... mostly on trails at elevation. I've done 50 miles in the mountains with 12,000' of climbing in 12 hours. Last year I did a 100 mile race with over 23,000' of climbing all on the old two feet. I want you to know I have tons of respect for you. Same goes for XLR. To each their own. Over and out.

You sound pretty certain about that... Or are you?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Alpine Fraudster</div><div class="ubbcode-body">As far as I know the Alpine chassis is 2.5 lbs </div></div>

"As far as you know"? Dude, you built the freaking thing. Don't you know for sure what it weighs?

Again, haven't you weighed the chassis you built? Or was it more convenient to try and pose as a curious third party? (For those of you tuning in late, this joker didn't put his name or website on his profile until many here prompted him to do so.)

I bet your just thinking that. Especially since you are sneakily trying to promote your own product.

No. Engineering and ergonomics are what cause some people to choose McRees while others choose XLR's. The only reason I can see that anyone would choose your copycat product is that you have deceived them into doing so.

I am an extremely focused individual. At the moment I am focused on being pissed off at you for trying to bypass the rules and pedal your unoriginal product.

I would be impressed, but you have shown yourself to be an unscrupulous individual so I can't trust that any of that is true.

Its not that easy, pal. You came to the 'Hide pretending to be an unaffiliated fanboy of your own product. In other words, you intentionally misled the very people you were trying to lure into buying your stuff. The technical term for this is "fraud". 
 
Re: Stocks, if i only owned a CNC

Oh SNAP! I thought you were associated but to be the owner of the company
shocked.gif


What an embarrassing and unethical start to your copycat design.

Was this your thought process?

Step 1: Get an XLR so you know how to build a stock.

Step 2: Copy design

Step 3: Join Snipershide as a curious third party so you do not have to adhere to the Forum rules.

Step 4: Promote your product by fraudulently posting as said third party.

Step 5: Freak out as you are called out and your sales bluff is seen through.

Step 6: Backpedal as your fraudulent behavior is brought to light.

Step 7: Attempt to laugh it off.


So, lets see that thing on a scale complete. I want to see 2.5 pounds complete. That is with a grip, action screws, butt stock, and sling studs. That would be everything ready to use on a rifle with exception of the mag.

Actually, I would want to see a video since your lying behavior has shown that you can not be trusted. So no setting the tare lower. Zero scale. Put chassis on scale. Reveal that the 2.5 pounds was a hoax.
 
Re: Stocks, if i only owned a CNC

Well I'll admit that the way everything has panned out kinda sucks for me. I know that I'm breaking the rules on this site and will probably be kicked off here. I also realize I mislead many of you and you now have a reason to not trust me. All that is just unfortunate for me, but it is what it is. I think you all probably know why I did what I did. Obviously I wanted to get this product out there and not pay for advertisement. I appologize for misleading all of you.

I set out to design a modular stock that is as light or lighter than most composite stocks and wasn't a blocky heavy POS that I wouldn't want to haul around. I feel I have accomplished that. All these chassis designs are all a copy of something or each other. I didn't set out to specifically copy the XLR but the butt stock did end up looking similar. Everything I did on the design I did for a reason and sometimes there is only one way to go about something to accomplish what you are after. Kyle, I've given you plenty of stuff for you to chew me up and spit me out. But at the end of the day when it really comes down to it, I know that I have a better product than you.

Nick,

Owning a business is more than just product alone.

Business ethics, customer service, innovation, and products are all equal partners in any business.

I fear you have committed career suicide.

-Kyle ~ XLR

Edit: Just so we are clear, it would be ridiculous for me to be threatened by your " design". I knew from day one that he industry was headed in that direction. A quick look at the chassis systems out there confirms that. I was not the first to run a tubular hand guard and certaintly not the last. We all must pull innovation from somewhere. However, it is your job to make it your own. Your coment that there is only one way to do something shows that you are not up to the task. My original comments where directed to the exact likeness of our products. You were the one that pursued it and backed yourself into the corner. You were warned multiple times by other members but chose not to listen.

At least I ended up with a sweet ass stock.
smile.gif


I design products for the military as my day job so I don't need this company to be successful. I'm a Certified Solidworks Professional and have worked on some of the most complex designs out there. I have also had the opportunity to work with some of the best machinists in the country. I'm not really worried about my career. Up to now this has been a fun project and I have some more innovative things that I'm working on. I'm actually a really nice guy and I'm sure I can run a successful buisness. If people are willing to give me a chance I'm sure I can make them very happy. I am not one to give up easily and look forward to riding this out and seeing what the future brings. Kyle, I hope there are no hard feelings. I have become very passionate about this and I tried hard to not make anything personal, but if I have offended you in anyway I hope you can sympathise.

Re: Stocks, if i only owned a CNC

Ouch.

As much as I like lightweight, and the Alpine stock appears to be a bit lighter than the XLR, customer service is very important.

Part of the reason I bought an XLR is because I've been screwed over one too many times by shitty businesses and now I'll only deal with businesses that have top notch customer service. I'm not saying Alpine does not have this, but when you buy from XLR, you deal with Kyle directly, he is prompt about answering questions, and gives accurate wait times.

50 miles in 12 hours in the mountains???

I've been backpacking for years, shooting for longer than that. I've traveled all of the world doing both. I've NEVER met a man that could maintain 4+ miles an hour for 12 hours straight at altitude. At my peak of physical fitness I can only do about 20 Miles in 8 hours, and that is on the roughest section of the AT. Add 20lbs of foot/shelter/water, 15 lbs of rifle, and another 15-20lbs of shooting support gear and most people will top out at about 15 miles a day.

I'm afraid I have to call you a liar on that one sir. I don't care how Tier 1 you think you are.
