According to MDT, other “Sniper style” rifle length buffer tube stocks will work on this chassis, but the intent of this chassis was to minimize weight. I do highly recommend the Rogers stocks for this application, simply because it has a cam lock system that locks down the buttstock tightly and effectively provides the feel of a fixed stock without any wiggle.
I used a commercial spec buffer tube with a Rogers FDE stock and standard MilSpec grip on my stock. The buyer supplies the AR15 buffer tube, castle nut, stock, and “non-beavertail” pistol grip of their choice, thus allowing an almost unlimited amount of customization depending on the wants and needs of the buyer. MDT offers the modestly priced $399.99 LSS chassis in left or right handed models and a choice of FDE, ODG, or black for colors.

It is simple and easy to install and about as minimalist as it gets for the shooter wanting to improve accuracy over a standard factory stock without the bulk and weight of traditional “match grade” stocks and chassis.

Some of these stocks also deliver integrated AICS style box magazine compatibility, which saves you around $200 for a “bottom metal” magazine adapter for your factory stock. The higher end chassis also free-floats the barrel for the best possible accuracy from your Remington 700, and in most cases it features positive mechanical bedding, which further increases accuracy and negates the need for the mess of resin or epoxy bedding. The main question everyone will ask is, why go to the trouble and expense to move from a factory stock to a billet chassis system like this MDT Tactical LSS or a premium target stock?
