In the video, Aaron discusses the features he likes about the MDT ESS Chassis Systems, specifically the modularity, 15-inch MLOK handguard, folding stock, ambidextrous magazine release, and the ability to lock the comb and length-of-pull adjustment with set screws. What initially drew him to the system was that there was a left-handed option that he had purchased for his wife's rifle.

THE MDT ESS CHASSIS SYSTEM

The MDT ESS Chassis System is one of our most versatile chassis, and we offer a variety of handguards and butt stock options. The Rifle Chassis can be configured for hunting, Military/Law Enforcement, and competition and can be optimized for special applications like extreme long-range shooting, night vision, and thermal applications.

Like all of our Chassis Systems, installation simply requires unscrewing your barreled action from its original stock and dropping it into a chassis of your choice.
