BROWNELLS MDT BRN-1 M-LOK CHASSIS
To me this is an unexpected product offering from Brownells, a Brownells branded MDT LSS Chassis. Brownells used to be slow to respond to firearm market trends and in my opinion this bolt action chassis finally shows some forward thinking on Brownells part. For me as i have stated before I really like partnerships between my favorite companies and Modular Driven Technologies and Brownells are two of my favorites. lastly i think the Rams head logo is a cool touch given that’s exactly the types of beasts that might see action from this chassis.
There are currently 18 models to choose from including two for the Ruger American Rifle. Colors are Black or Flat Dark Earth aka FDE
