MDT hnt 26 review??

[207North]

have issues with the forend attaching via two small screws?

Yes.

I have both the old 5 screw model and the new 3 screw.

I have to remove the foreend when separating the action from the chassis. The 5 screw model was a bit of a pain to line up, so I would have to just start all 5, then tighten each a little at a time.

Eventually one stripped with a fix it stick 15 in lb torque setting.

Once things slow down a bit I will install a helicoil in the stripped hole and continue on.

I had one hated it. When I was hunting late season snow got stuck in the folding adapter and it was so cold I couldn’t get it to snap back in. My gun was almost useless.

I think they are cool but I wouldn’t own another one.

Thats kind of funny because I use it specifically for hunting in the cold. The carbon fiber is way better without gloves than an aluminum chassis.

I had one. I sold it. For 3 reasons.

1. The main reason being that It was difficult to get in and out of my Kifaru Gun Bearer. The buttstock just didn't fit properly and that's how I carry my rifle through the woods. I don't do slings

2. I had issues with the built-in arca on the foreend and my RRS arca clamp on my bipod. The RRS clamp wouldn't get tight enough to keep the bipod from walking under recoil. It walked so much that it fell off the front of the foreend. To fix that I installed a picatinny rail to the foreend and swapped back to my Pic clamp on my bipod which corrected the issue.

3. I also didn't like that the hole in the bottom of the carbon grip would catch sticks while walking through the brush.

I too didn't like how it didn't fit in the sg version of gun bearer so I could deploy quickly and what good is it strapped to the side of my pack if I cant access quickly. I just set up the obi link system though and am very excited to try it
