Advanced Features — Tactical Chassis Precision Platform
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Modular Aluminum Chassis | Built to meet MIL/LE specifications with a black anodized aluminum chassis. Full aluminum bedding provides a rigid, stable platform for consistent accuracy shot after shot [citation:4]. |
| AR-Style Compatibility | The chassis accepts AR-15 interface stocks, pistol grips, and forends, allowing shooters to customize the rifle to their exact preferences and mission requirements [citation:1][citation:3]. |
| Adjustable Folding Stock | Rear buttstock features an adjustable cheekpiece (height and angle), length-of-pull spacers, and a soft recoil pad. The folding design reduces overall length for transport and storage [citation:6][citation:9]. |
| 13.5″ M-LOK Forend | Rigid aluminum forend with optimal wall thickness to prevent bending. Features M-LOK slots, QD sling mounts, and a full-length top Picatinny rail for mounting optics and accessories [citation:3][citation:4]. |
