MDT Howa Mini chassis question

[jasper2408]

Answer to your question is yes. I have mdt chassis's (plural), one of which is on my howa.
They take mil spec or comm, threads are the same. I use milspec, and onto it (them) I have the luth-AR mba's, Like this combo also.

There is a small setscrew underneath on the mdt, you tighten that into the buffer when you have it on and straight. Also note that the setscrew sometimes can stick out a bit, and be a source of scratches on your hand, I put a small piece of duck tape over it in those cases.
O, I also use a buffer lock nut/castle nut on it, to ensure it stays tight.

I think (it is late at night...) I used the LSS version for the howa, but the XL will work also, just be a tad longer is all.

If you like a one-piece chassis go for the oryx, also mdt, it's just a bit heavier than the chassis/mba combo but also works well. I had one on a savage and it was fine.

Oryx costs the same or a bit less than the LSS+buffer+mba...

another option for ya.

Thanks for the info on the buffer tube Grayfox.

I already have an extra MBA3 and a 90deg Ergo grip(pretty fat so don't know how I will like it) and been wanting to use them on something and I like the MBA3 buttstock the best so gonna go with those items. Gonna also use a castle nut. As far as the chassis I wanted the longer forend which makes it more like my other Howa chassis rifle. Decided to just go ahead and get everything before it warms up so that I will have a bolt action to shoot this summer in the Grendel caliber.
