Accuracy issue complaint

David Lott · Monday at 9:20 PM

So a customer calls me and says he has a problem with his rifle and wants me to rebarrel it, so I said sure send me the rifle and I will take a look at it. Rifle arrives, took it out and shot it, sure enough it has problems but instead of selling him a barrel I will be selling him a chassis. Shot great once I put it into my foundation test stock.
I am purposely not going to mention the chassis that it was in but you can see for yourself the best deal always isn't the best deal, pay a little bit more and get a quality chassis and forgo these types of issues.

*** On edit that is not play that is flex *** action screws were tight and NOT bottoming out on barrel tenon.
also NOT an MPA product. We use, recommend and sell MPA and Foundation 99 % of the time.

I figured we had something coming based on the previous thread you started.

Now I have to ask. And you can pm me the answer and I’ll swear to die with it

What chassis caused the issue? I’m putting my latest rimfire in a matrix pro II and have seen similar videos showing slop with that chassis. Just wondering if that is the one under the tape?

Planning to rebarrel my B14R or both and trying to decide which ways to go in this process

No way that’s a MP II chassis… not nearly enough width both at the bottom, and top where the bridges attach. I’ll guess Aero based on the profile.

Not to mention, there are videos of DI testing rifles out back in a Matrix, with confidence. Cannot go wrong with it.

Edit: I’ve got zero slop in the MP II chassis. Purchased from DI raw and with the standard all aluminum butt stock. More rigid than an ACC Elite.
I had both now have one.

Pics because she’s sexy AF.

It wasn’t just screws too long? Or no washers? I’m surprised your customer was not aware enough to notice slop like that.

Yep, gotta watch out for that front action screw.

Isn't this why some people glass bed their chassis?
There was a thread a few years back about this.

With mass produced rifles and chassis it's inevitable some are not going to play well together, glass bedding is the only way to ensure you get a perfect fit.

However that video does show a lot of play.

+1 That's exactly what a "mis-assembled" rifle looks like... ask me how I know...

I edited the original post to reflect it was flex and not play. Most times I use a Vanquish with weights to test on but this was a left hand so I used a Foundation that is modified for left and right.

Is that blue painters tape under the barrel on the front of the forearm?
