In my opinion that is not true.
When viewed from 300 yards with the naked eye, they may look "similar" but that is about it.
While not a fan of the MSR stock, it is its own thing for sure. Everything from the materials, hinge design, mounting block for the action, weight and finish are different. The MSR chassis will retain the monolithic rail on top which is quite tall. Accordingly most shooters will have a very high cheek piece setting.
Also note that the MSR stock folds to the right and covers/secures the heavily recontoured bolt handle. The MSR chassis for the M700/40X reverses the stock fold direction to the left. Most other aspects are the same.
Not a knock against the JP. They are totally different animals with totally different materials and construction. Don't look for the MSR chassis to be priced parallel to the JP.
