Choate Machine and Tool Introduces the Choate Modular Stock, a Modular Chassis System For Remington Pattern Bolt Action Rifles

April 23rd, 2019

Bald Knob, AR – Choate Machine and Tool, a market leading designer, manufacturer and OEM supplier of rifle stocks, shotgun magazine extensions and firearms accessories, has introduced The Choate Modular Stock (C. Mod) chassis system.   This is a true modular rifle stock, allowing the user to change the forend or butt stock without removing the rifle action from the main chassis section.   This modularity provides the ultimate in adaptability and versatility while not disturbing the critical action-to-stock fit so reconfirming zero is unnecessary after configuring the system as needed.

The heart of the C. Mod rifle stock system is the precision CNC machined chassis.  Made from a solid block of aluminum, the chassis rigidly holds the action while the desired butt stock and forend can be changed as needed.   The chassis uses the time-tested AR style magazine release. This eliminates accidentally dropping the magazine by hitting a release lever located in front of the trigger guard. The C Mod. magazine will accept cartridges up to 2.860 inches in length such as the 308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor and 260 Remington, as well as other popular cartridges like 6mm Remington, 257 Roberts and 7X57 Mauser.  Each C. Mod chassis comes with two magazines and the required action screws.

The ultimate in versatility is provided by the C. Mod Stock system of optional forends and butt stocks.  Forends include a target/varmint style forend with a wide, flat bottom and a sniper/tactical style forend that is shorter and slightly tapered toward the muzzle end.  Both come with a T-rail and bipod adapter.  Butt stocks included two conventional types including a basic tactical style, a fully customizable target/tactical style with adjustable check piece and length-of-pull.  Choate also offers two very specialized butt stocks for the C. Mod Rifle Stock including a telescoping AR style butt stock (compatible with any AR butt stock) and a pistol grip folding stock for the ultimate in portability.  All butt stocks and forends come with the required hardware for rock solid installation.

The new Choate Modular stock is available for the Remington 700 short action and Remington Model 7.  MSRP is $710 and includes the CNC machined chassis anodized matted black, the tactical forend and the tactical butt stock both also in matte black and two magazines.

ATAR Short ALL TERRAIN CLOTH

April 23rd, 2019

Technical Adventure Travel Short Built in the USA

Prometheus Design Werx introduces their new ATAR Short – A.T.C. for Summer 2019 in their high performance, technical All Terrain Cloth and designed for the summer Adventurist and global traveller. The technical properties and signature feature set for this style are dialed for high versatility and as a multiplier for a wide breadth of activities. From summer alpine trekking in the Dolomites, remote tropical locations in the South Pacific to the bazaar of Marrakech, the ATAR Short is the one pack-and-go style that has it all well covered. 4-Way stretch, quick-dry, stain and water resistant, packs small, light weight, durable, secure zippered pockets and discreet everyday styling. Built in the USA.

The ATAR Short – A.T.C. is a seasonal style from Prometheus Design Werx. They will be available in Transitional Field Green, Machine Mineral Gray and All Terrain Brown.

 

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“The ATAR Short is light, stretches, breathes, durable, and resists stains and water via a C6 DWR finish. This style packs small, is easily washed in a hotel sink and dries quickly. Every pocket has a zipper closure to secure your EDC and travel items to prevent loss and the opportunistic pickpocket. An additional internal pocket has been added to discreetly stash your favorite slip joint. An internal drawstring waist was added for times when you don’t want or need the bulk of a belt and a spontaneous ocean dip or hike to a waterfall, calls to you. This short is our most casual in styling. At first glance, the ATAR appears to be an unassuming Bermuda style walk short. The inseam and rise will sit slightly longer than our field styles and the cut is roomier. The smart and seasoned adventure traveller does not draw attention to himself, nor attempt to appear as if they walked out of a wannabe “Operators-R-Us” catalogue. The enjoyment and adventures in the far reaches of the world are predicated upon not being a target, being mindful, respectful and aware of your surroundings. Our ATAR Short will help you focus on the journey and experiences, and avoid the inconveniences and pitfalls of international adventure travel.”

 

The USA Made PDW ATAR Short – A.T.C. will be available for $109.00 on Wednesday, April 24, 2019 at 12:00 noon PT via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com.
