MDT is excited to announce the acquisition of the designs, tooling and patents of the renowned precision rifle chassis system, the J Allen Chassis JAE-700 and JAE-100.
The J Allen Chassis systems have been touted as one of the most comfortable and configurable stock-style chassis systems in the last two decades, making it one of the most popular chassis among top precision rifle competitors. MDT is proud to continue the J Allen Legacy under the MDT line of precision rifle chassis and accessories.
CEO Maarten Van Ruitenburg states, “The acquisition of the tooling, patents, and design of the J Allen Chassis systems strengthens MDT’s position as the premier chassis manufacturer in the industry and offers another proven product to help customers SHOOT BETTER”. MDT will begin the transition of the Chassis production late 2019 at its Everson WA, USA facilities and plans to be in full production by mid 2020. “MDT will produce the J Allen Chassis with the same quality and expanded features that MDT and JAE customers expect” says Van Ruitenburg.

swageI still think those who placed orders and then had to dispute transactions with credit card companies will be reluctant to purchase another, regardless of who the owner is. Myself being one of them. I think an explanation and full transparency is in order if they expect me to come off my hard earned dollar.

flesheatingvirusYES! I’ll be keeping an eye on them. My LRB M25 is still sitting in my safe, unfinished. I’m curious to see what kind of changes they may start introducing.
And of course, the price point.
