Caleb Savant
Join Caleb from Brownells in this informative video as he demonstrates the process of installing a Howa chassis into an MDT field stock.
We jump into the technical aspects, noting the stock's construction with a full aluminum bed block extending through the bottom, complemented by a polymer trigger guard. The stock accommodates AICS magazines and is equipped with M-LOK slots for added versatility.
The video then transitions into the gunsmithing segment, where Caleb illustrates the removal of the bottom metal from the Howa action and the subsequent installation of the action into the chassis. He provides insights into the tools used, like the Fix It Sticks Field Armor Kits, and offers tips on achieving the right fit and torque for optimal performance.
Further, Caleb guides viewers through the process of installing a rifle base, specifically the EGW one-piece 1913 base, emphasizing the importance of proper screw selection and the use of Loctite for secure mounting. He concludes the demonstration by ensuring everything is torqued to specification, readying the rifle for the range.
