Gutentag, it's Tyler from MKM! Thanks to TFB for this video from IWA, and I'm happy to answer a few questions. 1) You can do it cheap, or you can do it right. The chassis includes a complete custom OEM unit from Timney in the sell price, as well as a 20moa rail. There are around 30 precision linkage components inside, so this is quite a bit more complex than your standard $1200-$1600 chassis and includes some crucial components mentioned previously. 2) Remington 700 SA, LA, and Tikka T3, fits right AND left handed actions interchangeably. Safety is also relocated to the front of the trigger guard with ambidextrous paddles, which is not the cheapest route, but far more ergonomic than the safety under your ear. 3) Bolt extension for Rem 700 is available and will bring the bolt handle forward several inches. We will be manufacturing a swept forward bolt handle for the Tikkas since they are dovetailed in. Aesthetically, I prefer the stock bolt knobs and I do not treat this as a rifle for rapid followups-although it is maybe a second slower than a typical bolt gun for the average user. 4) There will be some cool stuff coming in the next few years-think straight pulls, actions with the bolt knob at the front of the bolt, etc. A modular platform for popular existing actions is the first step to create something awesome without incredible investment. 5) We can build custom rifles as desired-the possibilities are endless so price varies widely. Only the action footprints are set in stone to work with the chassis.
I’ve been convincing myself for the past year that I need a precision bolt action. Y’all have a great idea here! I’ll definitely be adding this chassis system to the list of options I’ll be choosing from.
Thank you for these amazing products man, I will definitely buy your product. I'm looking forward to being able to purchase chassis for my Tikka super varmint in 300 win mag!
A Bullpup Chassis I gotta say is a home run, but $2K is quite steep although MK matching makes great products. After seeing this I bet every CNC marching company will come out with there version soon enough, the Desert-Tech SRS platform is one of my favorite Bullpup platforms!
Mk machining is a fantastic company they custom made me scope caps and a anti reflection device ARD in green and tan for like 100 bucks easy af in install and tough as shit saving up for their chassis
I'm sure it was completely unintentional but when you were asking about a complete rifle package, it wasn't being fully conveyed that chassis manufacturers (most) do not sell firearms. So James, you intention was to get to the point and you wanted a complete package cost but since they cannot legally "sell" you the firearm, or firearms, he was giving you a round about quote. He did say that the 2k was you shipping your rifle or action barrel etc and they install the chassis and timney trigger for that cost. Just my humble opinion, and you know what they say about that 😂- God bless
There is a certain perceived awkwardness with the bullpup configuration, but no denying the superior geometry of the chamber being closer to the center of body mass. The heart. Ignition closest to the still point. Instead of holding everything way out in front of your face. I look forward to seeing someone proving this concept across the course offhand at 200. Or across the valley...
When he said 2,000 I enjoyed about 30 seconds of thinking about all the fun I was going to have owning this. Then, James ruined the fantasy with a follow up clarification question. Damn it.
Interesting, I can't think of any other precision bullpups like this. Like James's complaint, I wish there was a standard complete rifle that could be advertised.
The only bullpup I have ever shot and carried was a Steyr Aug with a hard mounted and qualified with it. It was a slung system and timed reloads were a bitch. Then again, being made to lay on your belly for the first few shots at 100 in desert sand on the summer sucked. On the bright side, I did well enough over the kids that got the m4 platform, that I became the outside perimeter DMR for long shot security on warrant raids of dope houses.
It's a great idea, but it looks like the bolt handle needs some kind of forward extension. It just seems really awkward trying to run it right in front of your shoulder.
So savage, howa/vanguard and ruger actions in the future or no? Lol well never mind I hadn't heard that you wanted $2000 for a chasis. I can literally build a whole custom rifle in a normal chasis for this. So I take it back.
It includes a top of the line trigger in there, so not that expensive. Ultimately, not everything is meant to be affordable, not all products are meant for everyone.
@Lucas Tonoli so your telling me your gonna try and justify this aluminum chasis that cost more than my hnt26 chasis because it has a top of the line trigger in it and some things just cost that much. Even James fucking looked like he was gonna die when the dude said that. You can literally get the same top of the line trigger for $300. Yea not everything is cheap but how the hell you gonna claim this cost more than a mdt, xlr, sharp Brothers because it has a $300 timney in it. I've used several mk machine products and he makes good stuff but holly shit he's shooting for the fence on this one.
Why not add a longer grip on the bolt that comes forward? EDIT: They apparently got an extended handle but they don't add it to show it. Time schedules are a b****.
Consider it has probably 8x the parts of a typical chassis (precise linkage system), a custom Timney trigger included, and a 20moa rail, and it is not so absurd. Standard chassis can easily run $1500+, and a DT chassis is over $3000 which is the only thing comparable.
Many people despise bullpups. I'm not one of them. I know many of the ergonomic issues they talk of are just made up and bullpups are mostly just as easy to operate than standard config weapons. But to operate a charging lever there is just stupid. Do you want to make a bullpup bolt action? Make an effort and make it STRAIGHT PULL with the lever placed FORWARD.
My issue with the design is I'm a big guy in the chest and shoulders so a bull pup is just uncomfortable because I feel squished. I'm the guy who gets the longest lop and adds to it. My Bergara HMR and Savage mk2 in a Boyds Pro Varmint stock are all 14.5" lop which is quite long.
"Make an effort and make it STRAIGHT PULL with the lever placed FORWARD." They are working on that atm apparently. It probably takes more time than just a chassis. "But to operate a charging lever there is just stupid. " The lever could be displaced forward to make it a bit more comfortable, they offer that service already.
The Android/iPhone comparison didn't really land. Are there some really premium Android phones? Sure. But the vast majority of them are no frills basic phones.
"....That's for the chassis". We all felt that.

Will t3x action fit or no?
@@MrRyushinn Yes, it'll drop right in the Tikka version!

ETA on the long action chassis, also will it fit the 700 300WM 5r?
Tyler seems like a no bullshit kind of guy. Surprised he got the job lol
Tyler, (my boss) is the owner of MkM
@@stridor0606 get back to work!
Tyler posing behind the chassis is peak TFBTV showtime 4:00
Love MK Machining, they make a lot of great precision accessories. Their scope level is one of the best.
Thanks man! We really appreciate it!

Thanks man, love hearing the support.
Sometimes I feel like the only Bullpup fan. Glad to see I’m not alone. I know how old the concept is, but I still feel like they are the future
Love mk machining. They make great grips. I've been seeing their ig posts about the bullpup chassis. Great to see them featured here.
They need to make a composite version for around $600.
A bolt handle that's bent forward like on the MAS-36 would improve ergonomics with this chassis.
Just not in that MAS-36 caliber. I haven't found ammo in 3 years.
Oh sweet !
We have a modified extended bolt handle to make this more ergo…
If you've never shot a $3000 BULLPUP bolt-action precision rifle (and probably never will), go ahead and hit that Like button.
I have been fortunate to have had a few shots behind a Desert Tech. It was an amazing rig. Just far out of my financial realm.
One of the prototype .50bmg rifles I fired approximately 25years ago was a bolt action Bullpup.
The chassis is pretty nice though. I was able to tune my trigger down to 7oz in this chassis
Chat is out of control ! Lol
Bro is $3000 without the scope? 😂😂
"Three grand to Shah of Iran"
I love this 🤣
This would be pretty interesting with a savage impulse action (and an improved barrel)
That’s what’s up! I don’t like bull pup semi auto but shit that bolt action looks LEGIT !
Those Germans sure know how to gas.... their rifles and properly tune them.... what?
OH GOD THAT’S DARK
Yes, gas their bolt actions. The rifles at least will work fine after that.
@Xenophon well correct it didn't apply to this rifle, go apply it to HK
The real secret is in the ovens. You know the ones.......they use them to heat treat the bolts and receivers.
@@Limescale12 tell me about the record keeping and 'serial numbers'.
😂 great interview, thank you.
I’d like that for hunting. No need for folding stock. Especially suppressed hunting.
Precision bullpup stock + custom 32" barrel + Remington 700 in 30-06 = perfection 👍
Been waiting my whole life for this
$2K... for the chassis alone...
Gucci as fuck.

HAHAHAHAH OMG 1:33 has to be the best thing about this vid. lol that should be the advertising for it alone lol
I'm sure there are about 5 thousand different ways that can design the bolt handle to make it for rapid follow up.
I have a fix: semi-auto.
You S.O.B.s It's beautiful! I WANT ONE!
*Lays seductively in gun collection* Plate me like one of your kalashnikovs”

Love it
I didn't catch that the optic wasn't mounted to the receiver... I guess that's where a lot of the money goes.
It's a Zero Compromise. So yes it's in a big part given it's a $4000 optic.
When he said 2,000 I enjoyed about 30 seconds of thinking about all the fun I was going to have owning this. Then, James ruined the fantasy with a follow up clarification question. Damn it.
8 ounce trigger is great! I have a model 29 with 8oz trigger and it's amazing!
lol, Tyler seems like a total boss man!
Interesting, I can't think of any other precision bullpups like this.

Desert Tech makes some
@@acarrillo8277 not near to this caliber though.
@@stridor0606 Do you mean cartridge or quality when you say caliber?
@@acarrillo8277 pretty sure that was figure of speach
Dude barret has been making a long action bullpup boltgun forever.
I went from "How in the Fuck" to "Fuck! I want one"!!!
Videos from 2019 online and website preorder for shipment spring 2022(its 2023 now) lol.
Save your money

So you’re the silent hand of a tyrant? Got it. Enjoy hell bro.
love it

1:33 He knows James' audience
Now put a shorter barrel 300 blk with a can in that! That would be crazy compact and silent.
OOooooooooo! I WANT ONE!!!
That is pretty amazing...
I wish something like this but in a pistol caliber format with appropriately shorter action and bolt throw existed.
Take My Money
so sick
coming in spring 2024
thats a hell of a deal
Accuracy International > literally everything else!
I would love to see this with a short barreled 300 BLK and a folding stock
Exactly Same with ú !
Folding stock on a bullpup with nearly no stock (like 2-3 inches before you hit components that can't be bent/folded) makes no sense whatsoever.
onkly thing yo ucould so is cut the barrel back and the chassis. but are you willing to do that with a 2k chassis?
This looks like a poor man's Desert Tech SRS and I love it
So savage, howa/vanguard and ruger actions in the future or no? Lol well never mind I hadn't heard that you wanted $2000 for a chasis. I can literally build a whole custom rifle in a normal chasis for this. So I take it back.

biggest conversion ever
those 2 defiantly went on a bro date after the show and drank alot of beers
Holy shit
Bad ass
I want one...
what grip is that? it reminds me of that one sig grip.
It is one of our custom grips make specifically for our Mk2.5 chassis, but we sell one really similar to it as well. Vertical Crossover Grip-REECE
@@stridor0606 Mucho thanks 👍
how does the trigger linkage work?
Neat
That's a lot of USD dollars, but it looks cool...
Is this only for r700 and t3? No t3x???
This was just @JamesReeves trying to weed out all the poor people and lefties who watch TFBTV
Why not add a longer grip on the bolt that comes forward? EDIT: They apparently got an extended handle but they don't add it to show it. Time schedules are a b****.
❤️🔥🤙🏻🇺🇸
Want one. I keep telling wife that guns are an investment. Just like anything Honda. I can sell it for the same price I bought it for or more.
Scout rifle
2k for a chassis is nuts
Consider it has probably 8x the parts of a typical chassis (precise linkage system), a custom Timney trigger included, and a 20moa rail, and it is not so absurd. Standard chassis can easily run $1500+, and a DT chassis is over $3000 which is the only thing comparable.
His English was pretty good.
Probably because MK machining is an American company and he also is from the US
I've used a bullpup before. They're ok. 300 Win. Mag.................mmmm.... well.... from a video game anyways. Metal Gear Solid 4.
👍
Does it take tikka long with a AICS?
Uh nah ! But, thanks for the offer.
looks awesome but not 2k awesome
Fastst as usual
😳😳😲😲🫨🫨😵😵🔥🔥😍😍🤩🤩🤮🤮🤢🤢👍👍👍👍🎯💯💯‼️
Could you drop an Arisaka 38 barrel and action in there?
why would you!? A 300 pos in a 2000 stock! 🤣
And no… do you not listen??
No you can’t
@@Coonhound719 You just don't understand art.
But weight though,,, what does the chassis weigh?
About 4lbs with trigger, grip and scope hood.
Had me for 5 seconds when he asked how much for the rifle - $2k....... He didn't listen to the question, that's for the chassis.
Lol NO!
So instead of making a highly precision sniper rifle akin to the PSG-1, let's make a bullpup in bolt action!
Insert "but why" meme....
I guess you can ask that much from the people that PRINT dollars.
Many people despise bullpups. I'm not one of them. I know many of the ergonomic issues they talk of are just made up and bullpups are mostly just as easy to operate than standard config weapons.
But to operate a charging lever there is just stupid.

Intro music make me want to skip while wearing my Lederhosen
dont think I want my face that close to the bolt if a round detonates...
7k is AI money….hard pass
2k for a chassis system? Hell nah
Seems expensive for what it is
Bolt action is outdated. Make it semi-automatic.🌸
There's not 2k capability.
2000$ for just the damn chassis holy shit. Sorry but taking 12in off the size of the gun is not worth that.
WHOA! As if bolt actions weren't bad enough for lefties already........ looks cool though.
It's left compatible
Our chassis are fully ambi, meaning left cycle and left port as well.
$$$
I love that Tyler knows Androids are better, more capable phones. =) Yea I said it, grow up and get an Android.
The Android/iPhone comparison didn't really land. Are there some really premium Android phones? Sure. But the vast majority of them are no frills basic phones.
Why
To fit the DMR in the humvee/helicopter
Nein!
2k? Hard pass
people need to stop giving more power to the police...
The price for that chassis is insane, reasonably this should be around the $600 Dollar mark..
