While I'm waiting for my RPAL, I've been doing a lot a research about bolt action rifles. I've been looking into rifles, actions, stocks, chassis, etc. I have a question what do I need to connect a carbine buttstock like Luth-AR MBA-3 to to a chassis like MDT LSS-XL Gen2 (with carbine buttstock interface)? I've seen conflicting and confusing articles/videos on the Internet.

Since the chassis itself doesn’t come with it you would need a buffer tube, likely a fixed style(non adjustable) for aesthetics reason. The Luth-ar works with either commercial or milspec specs so either are fine. I will say after owning both, the mdt is definitely a superior buttstock and I would recommend buying one from them with the chassis.

The reason I am interested in Luth-AR MBA-3 is that I noticed it is used in Howa HCR and Mossberg MVP precision. I've been looking for a .223 Rem bolt action chassis rifle to begin with, for ammo costs. Unfortunately I'm a perfectionist and very picky, so I came up with the idea of building a rifle using Howa .223 Rem Barreled action, MDT LSS-XL Gen2 chassis, Luth-AR MBA-3 or MBA-1, MDT folding stock adapter, MDT grip and a muzzle brake. Then I realized Ruger Precision Rifle .308 is cheaper! Unfortunately it's not available in .223 Rem anymore.

I only mention that because I have a Howa apc Canadian with the Luth-ar stock and took it off in favour of the mdt. It feels way better quality and make. If you can wait mdt usually has a big sale for Black Friday .
