We have some pics up on our site of one of the earlier prototypes, however we've changed a few things so we thought we'd give you guys a preview.
The Whiskey-3 Chassis is a modular stock for multiple actions. Right now we are concentrating on the Tikka T3 version, in a fixed configuration. A folding rear section is in testing, and currently, a fixed back end can be switched to a folder after swapping out a few parts. Future actions will likely include the Sako M995 and the TRG's, and others depending on demand.
A little background: Our first idea was to make a folding stock for the TRG that was more affordable than the Sako version, so we built one. Then we had the idea for the magazine conversion for the TRG, which meant we had to make our own "backbone". At that point, we were a forend away from a complete stock, and the T3 is a good action in need of some good stock options. The forend is modeled somewhat on the TRG forend to keep the lines similar when using our parts on Sakos. At some point we will likely offer our forend by itself for the TRG, for guys wanting an aluminum forend with all the mounting points and such. So this is why our chassis looks similar to a TRG, and we really like the looks of the TRG anyway!
Adjustments as you see here are spacers for the LOP and a hex wrench for the cheek. Hex wrench adjustment on the cheek piece gives you basically infinite positions within the adjustment range, as opposed to set intervals of a quick adjust detent style setup.
We have considered doing a model with quick adjust on the LOP and cheek. We'd like to hear what you guys think.
Some features that are not seen or difficult to see:
-Picatinny rail on buttstock (currently covered by removable butthook/bag rider)
-there's an Anshutz rail in the forearm, along with mounting holes at various positions
-For the grip, there is the possibility of different size grip panels in the future
-V-bedding channel and a hardened stainless recoil lug
-Mounting points for QD sling cups, bipod studs, etc
ETA:
-AICS mags
-Can swap cheek piece around to have it extend further forward to get close to action, or further rearward to take out bolt without moving cheek (again if we do quick adjust cheek then this is moot)
Price: hard to say exactly at this point, but the fixed version will be under 1k.
Okay thanks for looking and let's hear any feedback you might have
