Overview

Hunting chassis of 26 to 31 ounces with carbon fiber components and folding stock

The MDT HNT26 is a chassis system designed specifically for hunting. Built on a lightweight magnesium alloy base with carbon fiber fore end, grip, and foam-filled buttstock, it weighs between 26 and 31 ounces depending on configuration. The folding buttstock folds for compact storage while the v-block bedding system keeps your barrel float for repeatable accuracy.

Ultralight hunting system

Starting at 26 oz for the complete system (chassis, buttstock, fore end and grip combined). MDT designed it for hunting.

Magnesium base with carbon fiber

The chassis is machined from AZ61A magnesium alloy. The fore end, grip and buttstock are carbon fiber.

Folding buttstock for packability

This variant includes a foam-filled carbon fiber buttstock that folds for compact storage.

V-block bedding with free floating barrel

V-block bedding, with the barrel free floated in the fore end.

AICS magazine compatibility

The low-profile magazine latch integrates into the trigger guard. Works with any AICS pattern magazine in short action length.
