As we trudge on through the middle of the pandemic, assembling a rifle that will be baptized in maple syrup and swaddled in flannel, we need to outfit the chassis we talked about in our past article with a few succesories… I mean, accessories. The great thing about the MDT ACC is how easily you can add certain bits and bobs to work with your shooting style. Here are a few MDT ACC Accessories that we’re looking at.
Black Creek Labs, or as most call them up north BCL, have come up with their newest version of the BCL 102 — the BCL 102 MK7, and it has a host of awesome changes. For those who don’t know, AR-15’s and AR-10’s are range-use only rifles in the restricted category in Canada. These require a higher license than the basic one that allows you to get hunting and sporting guns and comes with other storage requirements. Thankfully, companies like Black Creek Labs did the leg work in order to bend the silly rules, making an AR-10 with minor changes so it’s approved to be non-restricted and able to go where our other firearms could. For all intents and purposes, this is a DPMS spec AR-10 with some slight changes to the upper and lower.
If your range is anything like the ones I belong to it has likely been shut down to help with social distancing or because it isn’t considered essential (we beg to differ though). Here are a few ways to train at home to keep your skills up or just kill the boredom.
We are using several parts and bits on The Apologizer and today’s article is on the MDT ACC Chassis (Adjustable Core Competition). Read up!
At our 3rd annual Bangin’ Brouhaha at Hogs & Heifers, we got to hang out, drink with friends, and raise money for a veterans charity. Thank you Hogs & Heifers for hosting our mangey assess helping the cause!
Now that we picked a trigger for The Apologizer our all Canadian precision rifle build it was time to find an action that will take that trigger. We chose the Ultimatum Precision Deadline short action for the Apologizer build. It takes the TriggerTech Diamond trigger, is easy to operate, & well designed. The Deadline is a Remington 700ish footprint action that takes Remington 700 Triggers and Savage small shank pre-fit barrels.
Triggers in most guns are a lot like insoles in most shoes to me, they work but could be better… a lot better. I almost always swap out a stock trigger for one that meets my needs and if TriggerTech makes one for the gun it gets one installed. For the Apologizer build I swapped the stock trigger for a TriggerTech Diamond, known for short trigger stroke, low pull weight, no creep, and crisp break.
As a person with sizable feet, I always get excited when I see a new interesting hiking boot and the Altra Lone Peak 3.5 Mid Mesh certainly fits the bill.
