Chassis
If you are a fan of highly customizable weapons and want your firearm to have a unique futuristic look, a chassis is an option you should consider. Just like the name suggests, a firearm chassis is a metal framework that serves as an interface between the action and the shooter. You can call it a middleman, just like a regular stock. Those are actually two primary bases for firearm action. The overwhelming majority of rifles come with a stock, while chassis is an aftermarket option that brings more adjustability and allows you to customize your gun to fit your body. You could call it a more personalized option since stocks don’t allow for adjusting them in any manner.
Firearm Chassis System
A firearm chassis system supports the action, rigidly holding it in place. As we already mentioned, it provides an interface for a shooter to operate the action. Stocks and chassis are different in several ways, the main one being the necessity of bedding. Bedding is a material (usually resin) you insert between the stock and the action so that the last is securely supported. Stocks need one, while chassis don’t, since your action is mounted on a solid piece of aluminum.
Why bother yourself with getting a chassis and mounting firearm action on it? The main benefit a gun chassis provides is modularity. You have countless options on how to adjust your firearm and tailor the chassis system to your body. The many examples included: the length of pull - the distance from the trigger to the part of a rifle that fits against the shoulder; the height and position of a cheek riser; the position, size, and angle of the grip; adding and withdrawing weights to adjust the weight of the gun and minimize recoil. And those are only a few options. You can change those parameters on the go, adjusting the system to fit your current shooting stance. A chassis generally takes a few minutes to install, so it's not rocket science.
