Unity Tactical 300BLK Bolt Gun Chassis

[Vanilla Gorilla]

What is the weight of the stock/chassis? Or, put it another way, how does the rifle weight compare to a similar profile barreled action in a typical McMillian stock?

Less. Tell us how much a similar profiled barreled Action weighs in a McMillian Stock and we will tell you how much less.

jmeng, I will weigh the whole setup tonight sometime.

This chassis is much heavier than what the Gen 2 will be, mainly because I didnt spend enough time on the mill to lighten it like was originally designed. It was a Proof of concept deal, and frankly on my mill, I just got tired of working on it. I didnt even get rid of all of the tooling marks before I coated it.

Ritten, lets get together sometime and you can put some rounds through it.



ETA:Nate beat me to it, but yes, it is lighter. The Gen 2 will be a substantial weight savings over this. Once I get some renders done of it, I will post some pictures. Hope to have the prototype of the Gen 2 in 6 weeks or so.

I phrased it that way to account for differences in barrel profile, shank lenght, etc. IIRC, the avg McMillian Hunting stock weights approx 32oz and the A series stocks are a little heavier. From the other posts I'm guessing this setup is lighter? That answers my questions of why this instead of a regular fiberglass stock. I don't consider myself a traditionalist but its hard for me to get used to this "look". Of course that doesn't matter much if it flat out works better. Amazing work guys, I can't imagine developing something like this from scratch.

You're talking about two very, very different applications. A lot of people wouldn't need something like this setup, and may be better served by a traditional rig. But...those that have that need (or want) for this will jizz in their pants when they see it.

I hope this doesn't sound smartass because I truely don't know the answer but who has a need for this and what different application would this be for compared to a more typical light weight "tactical" rifle such as a Remington LTR or a custom equivelent?

It weighs 9 lbs as pictured without the can. As weighed on an accurate scale.

a backpackable gun....

a backpackable gun....

Yes 100%

That was the original intent.

Are you sure that scale's reliable?

It felt a lot lighter than that... But I'm no expert.

in louisiana, i don't need a >300 yard gun to hunt.

That's pretty impressive if it's with the scope and bi-pod. Neither are light!

Than why do we use .308's, .300 win mag, etc... J/k

On another note, to answer the question why does one need this particular rifle?
Let me ask you, why don't I need this particular rifle?

That rifle is the definition of Art.

Not too shabby considering that includes scope, mounts, and bipod.

I didn't realize the whole point was to have a backpack rifle, looks like its really perfect in that application.

 

[latech15]

I want one.

Where do I sign up?

I definitely understand that. I want plenty of guns just because I think they're cool but don't particularly have a use for.

It truly is. I think "backpack rifle" may be misleading, think any application (especially LE and mil) where you can add a hell of a capability where space is limited. I wish he had pics of it all folded up, with a 9" barrel you could practically put the thing in your pocket.

 

[bearfutedninja]

My ar feels like it weighs 30 lbs and probably isn't any more accurate than that.

So many things to say about having 9"s in your pocket, but I will leave it alone.
