Did you drill holes for the spigot and just screw the spigot into the enclosed forend? If so, how solid is it?

I have three rifles with KRG Chassis. All of them have the spigot mount. They are all very solid. Instructions attached.
The one pictured from Hennig is with the enclosed forend, which isn't compatible with the spigots. I have bot a spigot and an enclosed forend.
I stand corrected. My error. Sorry.
Yep, removed the internal ribs, drilled the 4 required holes, and drilled out and retapped the spigot mount holes to use M4 capheads to give it a bit more beef. Solid as a rock.
Mausingfield/Proof 6cm with a TT Diamond. Love this hung so far.
Not my best take on m81, but you get that on the big jobs hey.
Lot of work has gone into that!
I don't which part of me likes this more, my nerd side or my shooter side. Either way that's an awesome rig
Where’d you get the clamps on the side? Make them?
David Tubb makes them. Google Superior Shooting System; that will lead you to his website.
My (new to me) W6-gen5 hosting a r700 Tactical w/Arken glass. Just put together a few days ago. Looking forward to the range trip.
This is my current configuration - stormtrooper white with a Vision forend. Whiskey 3 ergos are the awesome.
Yeah that’s looks awesome
Looks great! What bag rider version is that? Looking at KRG's website they might have changed around the angled bag riders a little.
Are these chassis just as good as the other big names guys are using in comps like MPA etc? I feel like I don't see them being used as much. If using an enclosed forend, is the only polymer piece the grip panel?
IMO it’s just as good. I’ve got a few YouTube reviews on all the different chassis including this one to help decide. And if you go with the enclosed forend, then the grip panels and the outer magwell would be polymer.
So there's an inner magwell that's aluminum? Everything that's functional is machined? These things are pretty tough/robust? I'll check out your reviews as well.
Yup! I’ve run mine for over a year now at matches with no issues. It’s got one of if not the best folding mechanism in the business if you want a folder. Chassis are gonna be a personal preference for sure, but it’s definitely not lacking in quality compared with MDT, MPA, etc.
I would like a folder. These just look so well designed.
Thanks! It's the Delrin bagrider - looks like it's discontinued, which is a bummer. I want one for my X-Ray.
I see neither the angled or straight poly bad riders are discontinued.

kineticresearchgroup.com The delrin bag rider is. The only polymer ones shown in the link are standard injection molded, rather than the milled delrin one I have.I see neither the angled or straight poly bad riders are discontinued.

Ooooh I see what you meant. I was reading “delrin” as any sort of poly/plastic generic material.

Took my 223 AI out to South Dakota for some prairie dog shooting. Shooting mostly 60gr Sierra TMK loads @ 3360 fps and 40 gr VMAX fireforming loads @ 3800 fps. With sustained winds at 15-25 and gusts up to around 30 mph, shots 500 yards and out were interesting!

Nice shooting range. Is it BLM or your property?
Local public shooting range. We don’t have a lot in northern Nevada. But we do have range’s.
Now in FDE and sporting Audere components..
Here is my frankenchassis with Sako mainbeam, Vision forend and KRG W3 folder.
Its the best it has ever been.
Its the best it has ever been.
They’re the same length and interchangeable. If you want more length, enclosed fore end or spigot.
Thanks
Hi guys,
Can people with the folders please assist me. I'm trying to find out if there are any issues with the hinges over time. Any movement or slop in them in the locked position as they wear, any at all? I just don't like wobbly stocks but a need a folder.
Cheers

Interested as well.
From a design standpoint, the unique KRG double hinge method should theoretically isolate the upper locking hinge from torsional stress. Making the design more resistant to loosening up over normal use.
