Current Chassis Models

What are the proper torque specifications for XLR Chassis Systems and Accessories?

The proper torque specs are listed on the XLR Torque Spec Sheet.

What type of material are XLR Chassis Systems made from?

Our aluminum chassis systems and parts are made from 6061 T6 Aluminum. The Atom Magnesium and Element 3.0 & 4.0 Magnesium is made from AZ61A Magnesium.

What type of bedding system does XLR Chassis Systems use?

Our chassis systems utilize a multi-point radial cut inlet which allows the receiver to sit in the chassis stress-free for utmost accuracy (no V-block). Our chassis are a true drop-in system and do not require any bedding or gunsmithing.

Is the inlet for the XLR Chassis Systems universal?

No. Our chassis inlets are machined specifically for the intended receiver and are not universal or interchangeable.

Do you make left handed chassis?

Most of our popular inlets are ambidextrous. This means your barreled action will be good to go whether you have a right- or left-handed barreled action. Our CZ 457, Howa 1500, and Anschutz 1710 are all right-hand only.

Does the XLR Chassis System require bedding?

No. Because we machine our inlet specifically for the intended receiver utilizing the multi-point radial inlet, our chassis do not require any bedding.

I have an oversized recoil lug. Will it fit in the XLR Chassis System?

Yes. Our chassis utilizes an oversized recoil lug pocket that will allow up to a .315" thick recoil lug allowing the use of most oversized recoil lugs.

I have a Tikka action. What type of recoil lug does the XLR Chassis System use?

Our chassis will include a replacement hardened steel recoil lug to use with the Tikka.

I have a Tikka T3 action, can I utilize the Magpul AICS magazines?

The Magpul AICS pattern magazines will not work with your Tikka T3 action. Please contact us in regard to which magazine will work with your Tikka T3 action.

How big of a barrel will the XLR Chassis System accommodate?

Our centerfire chassis will accept up to a 1.25” straight contour and remain fully free floated. For rimfire chassis reach out and we can give you the exact specifications for the largest barrel diameter.

Is the barrel completely free-floating in the XLR chassis?

Yes. Our chassis provide a completely free-floating barrel forward of the recoil lug.

Will the XLR Chassis System accommodate a “Remage” style barrel nut?

Yes. The Remage-style barrel nut will fit into our chassis without issue.

Is the XLR Chassis System compatible with aftermarket trigger systems?

Yes. Our chassis systems will accommodate most aftermarket triggers, including Trigger hangers.

I don’t see my action listed. Does XLR do custom inlets?

No. We only offer the inlets that you see on the chassis pages. We may offer different inlets for different chassis models, so make sure you check the different chassis pages.

What bolt stop modifications are needed for the Savage .223?

The bolt stop on the Savage .223 bolt extends to the rear farther than on the .308 models. This prevents the bolt from traveling back far enough to cycle cartridges from the magazine. The bolt stop will need to be milled flat or replaced with the .308 style bolt stop, which is available at our online store here. It is recommended that modifications be performed by a competent gunsmith.

Are XLR Chassis Systems compatible with aftermarket AR style grips?

Yes. Please note that if the AR style grip has a "beaver tail" it will not be compatible with our chassis, or the 'beaver tail" portion will need to be cut flat.

What type of finish is on the XLR Chassis Systems?

All XLR chassis are anodized with a Type II Class II anodized matte finish or cerakoted.

Why is cerakote included on magnesium and not aluminum chassis?

Aluminum comes with anodizing included instead of cerakote. Anodizing is a less labor-intensive process, allowing us to lower our price on Aluminum chassis. Magnesium cannot be anodized, so they must be cerakoted to protect the chassis from tarnishing.

Are the XLR Chassis Systems available in other colors?

YES! We now offer all of our chassis systems in both matte black anodized finish as well as a variety of popular Cerakote finishes!.

Will XLR Chassis accept Cerakote™ or similar firearm finishes?

Yes. Our chassis will accept firearm coatings such as Cerakote™.

I have a Tikka T3 and T1, can I use both in the same chassis?

The T3 SA and T1 share the same footprint so you can use the same chassis! If you are using the Element, the two barreled actions do require different trigger guards. If you are using the Envy, you might have to take out the magazine latch to use the T1 (depends on your factory magazine base plate).

Will the original action screws work with the XLR chassis?

No. Our chassis system will include replacement action screws to install the chassis.

What Remington clones fit in your chassis?

Our chassis are accommodating, accepting most Remington 700 clones. These include American Rifle Company Mausingfield, American Rifle Company Nucleus, American Rifle Company Archimedes, Bighorn TL, Bighorn SR, Bighorn Origin, Zermatt Arms Rim X, Curtis Custom Vector, Curtis Custom Axiom, Curtis Custom Helix, Curtis Custom Valor, Defiance Tenacity, Defiance Ruckus, Defiant ANTI, Defiance ANTI-X, Defiance Deviant, Defiance Rebel (1.15 tenon only), Impact 737R, Impact 737 T, Impact 787R, Kelbly Atlas, Kelbly Atlas Tactical, Lone Peak Razor, Lone Peak Razor TI, Lone peak Fuzion, Lone Peak Fuzion TI, Mesa Precision Summit, Terminus Apollo, Terminus Apollo Lite, Terminus Zeus, Terminus Kratos, Terminus Kratos Lite, PTG B12 Bomber, Gunwerks GRB, Gunwerks Titanium GLR, Gunwerks Stainless GLR, Cadex CDX- R7, Alamo Precision APR G2, Alamo Precision APR Hunter, Mac Bros Evo, Mac bros Evo titanium, Mac bros evo 2, Bergara B14, Bergara B14R, Bergara Premiere, Christensen Arms Mesa, Christensen Arms Ridgeline, Christensen Arms Traverse, Bat Machine TR, Mat Machine VR (repeater only), Bat Machine Igniter, Mat Machine NSS, Stiller Predator, Stiller Wraith, Stiller Sport, Surgeon 591, Pierce TI, Pierce Steel, Tuebore Legion, Tuebore Legion TI, Fierce Rival, Shilen DGR, and many more!

Why do Howa 1500 chassis not come with a bubble level?

The Howa 1500 cocking piece hangs lower than any other action on the market. Because of that feature, we have to notch the chassis to keep the cocking piece from contacting the chassis.

Why do Tikka chassis not include an ambidextrous bolt plug?

Tikka bolt handles are the smallest handle on the market. Because of this, we have made the bolt handle relief smaller than any of our other inlets. This keeps the majority of dirt away from the trigger but doesn't allow the chassis to accept the ambidextrous bolt plug. 

Why cant I attach MLok accessories to the bottom of my Anschutz 1710 chassis?

The Anschutz 1710 chassis includes an integrated full length Anschutz rail instead of M Lok holes on the bottom. You can still attach M Lok accessories to the side of the chassis.

Magazines

What magazine do I need for my cartridge?

If you are not sure which magazine will work best with your rifle or cartridge CLICK HERE for our magazine compatibility chart. If you still have questions feel free to give us a call at 970-241-1807.

What is the CIP length magazine/magwell?

The CIP length magazine is a magazine with a longer internal length of 3.750” to be used with .338LM and similar cartridges. RUM cartridges must use the CIP length magazine well. Please note, long-action chassis are only available with a 3.850" magwell as of February 2019.

What type of magazines do XLR Chassis Systems accept?

Our chassis systems accept AICS pattern magazines. AW-style magazines will also work but only if the action is specifically made to operate with them.

Will a Magpul AICS magazine work with my Tikka T3?

The Magpul AICS pattern magazines will not work with your Tikka T3 action. Please contact us in regard to which magazine will work with your Tikka T3 action.

My caliber is not listed, which magazine do I use?

Many calibers will use a standard-size magazine depending on the cartridge's overall length (COAL). Cartridges with a COAL of 2.855" or shorter (such as 6.5 Creedmoor, .260 Rem, .22-250 Rem, etc) will utilize the .308 style AICS magazine. All long action Magwells are being cut to 3.850" CIP length as of February 2019. 3.850" CIP magazines are available for a variety of different long action cartridges, including RUM, 30-06, and 300 WM cartridges.

What magazine length are long action chassis cut for?

All of our long action chassis (except Tikkas) are cut for a 3.850" magazine. Tikkas are cut for a 3.560" magazine.

What magazine works the best for my 300 PRC?

We have found that the 300 RUM magazines work the best for the 300 PRC. We offer the RUM mags in a 3 and 5-round capacity.

I am having feeding issues; how do I fix my magazine?

There are many different answers to this question. AICS magazines do not have a set specification, so every magazine will be a little different. Those specifications and the manufacturing process of magazines result in some variance in the system. If you are having feeding issues, you should first look at the way the round presents itself to the feed ramp of the rifle. By judging this presentation, you can then bend the feed lips to help with feeding. To bend the feed lips, you can buy a tool or use a set of needle nose pliers wrapped in tape. The tape is going to keep from scratching the magazine and make sure you have a smooth surface. If you have any questions about this process, feel free to email us or give us a call and we will help you out!

How do I adjust my hunter DBM mag latch?

Adjusting the hunter DBM is the same as adjusting the Envy Pro adjustable mag latch. You can click on the link below to visit the video.

View DBM Mag Latch Video On YouTube.

Do I need to make modifications to my action if I am currently using an ADL or BDL bottom metal?

No, all Remington 700 actions are cut to accept AICS magazines. It will still be a direct drop-in for you and no modifications are needed.

*Defiance XM actions need to be cut specifically for XM magazines. Their BDL cut will interfere with the use of AICS magazines.

Buttstocks

Are XLR buttstocks compatible with other chassis systems?

Yes. Our buttstocks utilize a buffer tube that has AR threads allowing it to be used on any chassis system using buffer tubes with AR threads. For AR platforms specifically, we recommend our TR-2 buttstock with the AR cheek rest (call to order). Note our buffer tube has a larger outside diameter than commercial or A2 style buffer tubes.

Will the Magpul PRS™ or similar rifle style AR buttstock work on the XLR Chassis?

The Magpul PRS™ and similar rifle style AR buttstocks can be used on our chassis system but will require some modification. Our chassis does not have provisions for the anti-rotation dowel found on rifle style AR buttstocks, and this portion will drop into the grip area preventing the use of the pistol grip. The anti-rotation dowel area on the buttstock will need to be milled down enough to allow the shooter's hand to fit onto the grip, and the buttstock will also need to be drilled and pinned to prevent it from rotating.

Will the TR-2 buttstock work on an AR?

The TR-2 Buttstock will install on an AR platform. However, if the AR is a rear charging weapon system, the cheek rest may interfere with the charging handle. We do recommend using our AR cheekpiece and standard buffer tube. The standard buffer tube is for a carbine-length buffer system.

Are XLR buttstocks compatible with a monopod?

The TR-2 and C-6 buttstocks are compatible with our monopod adapter. The carbon buttstock is not compatible with our monopod adapter. Our monopod kit is sold separately, click here.

What sling mounts do the XLR buttstocks utilize?

The TR-2 and C-6 buttstocks have QD/flush cup style sling points installed on both the left and right side. The carbon buttstock requires the carbon bag rider which has a QD adapter integrated into the backer.

Is the XLR buttstock considered a fixed buttstock?

Yes. The XLR buttstocks are considered a fixed buttstock.

What is the range of adjustment for the TR-2 cheekpiece?

In total, you have 1.2" of vertical cheek rest adjustment.

What is the range of adjustment for the C-6 cheekpiece?

In total, you have 1.3" of vertical cheek rest adjustment.

What is the range of adjustment for the Carbon cheekpiece?

In total, you have 1.3" of vertical cheek rest adjustment.

What is the range of adjustment for the TR-2 recoil pad?

In total, you have 1.575" of recoil pad adjustment.

What is the range of adjustment for the C-6 recoil pad?

In total, you have 3.3" of recoil pad adjustment.

Is the XLR buffer tube mil-spec or commercial?

Neither. Our buffer tubes have a larger outside diameter than A2 style or carbine style buffer tubes. Our standard buffer tube's inside diameter and threaded portion is normal AR diameter.

What length buffer tubes do XLR buttstocks use?

We have two different-length buffer tubes. Our contoured and standard are 7.5 inches, and our short is 5 inches. The standard buffer tube is compatible with carbine-length AR buffer systems.

Are XLR buffer tubes compatible with A2 style or aftermarket buttstocks?

No. Because of the larger diameter of our buffer tubes, they are not compatible with aftermarket buttstocks.

Will XLR buttstocks accept the JP Silent Capture Springs™?

Yes. Our standard buffer tube is compatible with the JP Silent Capture Springs™.

How do I take off the recoil pad on my TR-2?

You will start by locating the two recoil pad screws holes on the top and bottom of the recoil pad. In those holes are the screws that attach the pad to the plates. You can use a 3/16" Allen wrench to loosen those screws.

What length of pull carbon buttstock do I need with the folding adapter?

The folding adapter will add 1.5 inches of LOP so you will want the carbon 12.5 inch. This will have a final LOP of 13 ¾-14 inches, depending on the trigger shoe and how you measure.

Scope Bases

Will my existing scope base be compatible with the XLR Chassis System?

The Evolution and Carbon series chassis system both utilize a fully enclosed handguard that some scope bases are not compatible with. If your existing scope base extends past the receiver face more than .200” it will need to be trimmed. We can trim your scope base to fit at no additional charge if you ship it to the address listed on our site.

What height scope rings will I need?

Without having all of the components in hand it is very difficult to give an accurate scope ring height. For this reason, we have provided a scope ring height calculator to help you determine the proper ring height required. For the manual formula, please see this article.

Folding Chassis Option

How do I install the folding adapter?

You can view instructions on installation here

What is the added length of pull with the folding adapter? Do I need the shortened buffer tube?

The folding adapter will add 1.5" to the total length of pull. Although you do not need the short buffer tube, it does allow you to maintain the 12-15 inch LOP range.

Does the folding adapter lock in the folded position?

No. The folding adapter does not have a physical lock for when it is in the folded position but instead features a ball-bearing detent to hold the folding adapter firmly when in the open position.

Will the folding adapter work on the AR platform?

While the folding adapter does use standard AR buffer tube thread size, it is not compatible with AR platforms.

Can the folding adapter be added at a later time?

Yes. The folding adapter is a modular plug-and-play accessory that can be added anytime.

What length C-6 adapter do I need to use with the folder?

We recommend using the short LOP adapter when using the folder. This is going to keep your LOP range between 13 ½- 14 ½ inches.

What length Carbon buttstock do you recommend with the folding adapter?

We recommend using the carbon 12.5-inch buttstock with the folding adapter. The additional folder length will put your LOP around 13 3/4 - 14 inches (depending on how you measure and the trigger shoe being used).

Chassis Accessories

Are XLR chassis night vision/thermal compatible?

Yes, we offer an Element ¾ night vision hood that attaches to the M Lok slots of those two chassis models. The envy pro has night vision rail provision drilled into the top of the chassis. Both accept a pic rail on the top of the night vision hood.

How do I mount a sling to my chassis?

We offer options for both a QD sling and a sling stud for all of our chassis and buttstocks.

Envy Pro Chassis: Has integrated QD adapters at the end of the forend, or you can attach a M Lok bipod/sling adapter to the M Lok slots on the forend.

Element: We offer the M Lok QD adapter and M Lok bipod sling adapter which attach to the forend of the chassis.

TR-2 Buttstock: Has integrated QD adapters on the sides, or you can use the swivel stud kit.

C6 Buttstock: Has integrated QD adapters on the sides, or you can use the swivel stud kit.

Carbon Buttstock: The carbon bag rider has an integrated QD sling adapter in the backer (not included with thte buttstock). You can also attach the swivel stud kit or the M Lok bipod sling adapter to the M Lok compatible mounting provisions.

We do recommend running slings on the side of the chassis vs on the bottom. This allows the ergonomics of the chassis to sit next to your body instead of the grip digging into your side.

Available Inlets

What calibers does XLR make rifle chassis for?

It is not the caliber, but the action of the rifle that we must shape our chassis too. A particular model of rifle action, such as the popular Remington 700 short action or SA, may end up being chambered to any one of dozens of calibers before leaving the factory-none of which affect the external specifications of the action. In summary, we make chassis that fit particular actions, not calibers. Here is a complete list of actions that XLR makes chassis to fit. Below is a list of popular calibers that are associated with these actions.

    What action modifications are needed for the Winchester model 70/FN SPR?

    The magazine opening in action will need to be opened slightly to accept the larger AICS pattern magazine. It is recommended that modifications be performed by a competent gunsmith. Download the instruction sheet.

    What action modifications are needed for the Remington Model 7?

    To install our chassis system, the rear action screw hole in the Remington Model 7 action will need to be drilled and tapped to accommodate the large ¼”-28 action screws utilized by our chassis systems. It is recommended that modifications be performed by a competent gunsmith.

    Legacy Buttstocks

    What is the difference between the Tactical and tactical lite buttstocks?

    The Tactical Lite and Tactical buttstock will ride a bag differently. The Tactical Lite buttstock is designed more for use with a softer, squeeze bag with the intent being that the bag rests in the 'hook' shape in the bottom of the buttstock and the shooter can squeeze or release the bag for elevation adjustments. The Tactical buttstock is intended more for a firmer bag with the intent being that the shooter can rest the 'ramp' shape of the buttstock on the bag and either pull in or out for elevation adjustments. The Tactical buttstock also offers the option to can't the recoil pad whereas the Tactical Lite only has a vertical adjustment of the recoil pad. The Tactical buttstock is also 5 ounces heavier.

    What is the difference between the Tactical buttstock and Extreme buttstock?

    The Extreme buttstock is different from our Tactical series as it is more designed for bench rest or F-Class applications since it does not have the sling or monopod provisions that are found on the Tactical buttstock series.

    Will the tactical or tactical lite buttstock work on the AR platform?

    The Tactical and Tactical Lite buttstocks will install on an AR platform. However, if the AR is a rear charging weapon system, the cheek rest may interfere with the charging handle. You will want the AR cheek rest for those buttstocks.

    What is the range of adjustment for the Tactical, Tactical AR, Extreme, and BMG buttstock?

    The Tactical and Tactical AR buttstock both have .700” of vertical recoil pad adjustment and cant adjustment of +/-10°. The Tactical Lite buttstock has .700” of vertical recoil pad adjustment and no cant adjustment (unless equipped with optional Dual Plate Conversion Kit which gives +/-10° of cant). The Extreme buttstock has 1.5” of vertical recoil pad adjustment and no cant adjustment. The BMG buttstock has 1.7” of vertical recoil pad adjustment and no cant adjustment.

    Legacy Accessories

    Will my existing scope base be compatible with the XLR chassis?

    The Evolution and Carbon series chassis system both utilize a fully enclosed handguard that some scope bases are not compatible with. If your existing scope base extends past the receiver face more than .200" it will need to be trimmed. We can trim your scope base to fit at no additional charge if you ship it to the address listed on our site.

    What height scope rings do I need for my evolution/carbon chassis?

    Without having all of the components in hand it is very difficult to give an accurate scope ring height. For this reason, we have provided a scope ring height calculator to help you determine the proper ring height required.

    Handguards

    Are aftermarket picatinny rails compatible with XLR handguards?

    Because there is no industry standard for rail mounting, our hand guards may not be compatible with aftermarket rails. We do offer specific rails for our chassis that are available for order.

    Are M-LOK™ rails compatible with XLR handguards?

    The 15.5" Carbon and the new Envy chassis handguards are M-LOK™ compatible. The remaining chassis are not.

    Are XLR Chassis Systems compatible with aftermarket handguards?

    No. Our handguards are made specifically for our chassis systems and are not interchangeable with aftermarket handguards.
