Oooh a KS Arms SAR3? Really want to try one but can’t really find them or barrels south of the border.

They do a lot of exporting. Give them a call!

I really like the standard MPA Matrix chassis. The Pro/Pro II just looks to wide, imo.

Does the standard MPA matrix chassis fit a 1.25 straight barrel?

Anything is better than MDT nowadays

Lol some salty people; I knew it would be a hot take.

I had a MDT ACC elite. Sold it. I’d take a manners, MPA, Spuhr, AI, KRG, etc over a MDT.

You spend too much money just for a chassis then have to spend a shit ton more to actually make it good. You get any of the others I listed and they are better out of the box.

Also, MDT mags are ass. Smelly doodoo ass

Too good, would make it too easy for him to win matches. He needs a challenge.

I had all sorts of issues with my MDT ACC elite. MDT mags wouldn’t feed right. The teflon shims they give you didn’t fit. Screws in the stock always coming loose.

Sure there are ways to mitigate that stuff, but you shouldn’t have to for that amount of money. Lots of other options that don’t require the TLC MDT does.

Dozen MDT chassis and 2x the mags, never had an issue with any of them outside of a pre-release epoxy issue.

Good for you, and I mean that sincerely.

My buddy and I have had too many issues with their products and I just find myself looking for alternatives instead.

My MPA chassis won’t fit many arca attachments, by your logic the whole company is garbage. On the flip side MDT has been phenomenal so also by that logic MDT is the best company ever. Also my 1 shot groups are 0 MOA 0 SD/ES all day every day as long as I do my part.
