And yes, marketing is now well aware of how we feel about the AI "enhancement" of the concept photo, which is in fact a real build.

Ngl, Was excited for this one to drop but 700+tax+shipping and it doesn’t even include a buffer tube or any other hardware…

Am I out of touch or is that fuckin nuts?? I was so down to buy one but now I’m not so sure

Its pretty steep. The mdt oryx is like $400 and it comes with a pistol grip and a fixed buttstock.

Mdt also has $700+ options but they offer more than this. The only place this stands out is the limited marked of solid SkS chassis'. The manufacturer knows were short on options and some dinks will inevitably overpay for it.

Exactly. The oryx is a complete chassis system. Everything is in the box. I don’t need to go source a buffer tube, end plate, stock, grip etc.

I really want to support local Canadian companies, especially those that cater to us gun guys and gals, but I’m real fucking tired of being gouged left and right.

It boggles my mind that people still don't understand economies of scale.

MDT is making and selling far more Oryx chassis than this SKS chassis. That allows them to bring price per unit down and include other value-added parts.

I was going to argue that it's high for a bare tactical chassis, but I added up what I would have spent on a Midwest chassis/guard for a PC9 I formerly owned and it wasn't much cheaper. And they have scale.
