    We do also make the MDT LSS, LSS-XL, ESS and even the MDT ACC for Howa!
    Ess on shopping list. Need to wait for payout then work out shipping.

    @xtightg I'm surprised it works out cheaper buying from Brownells. Afaik, MDT ship direct. They also have distributors in NZ (although the guy I've used has gone quiet).

    I recently bought a MDT ACC chassis from Target Dynamics Intl here in NZ. Price was the same as I could direct import and I didn't have to deal with permits etc.

    It's an awesome chassis for it's intended use. I wouldn't be wanting to run it on a hunting rifle though unless you want plenty of weight.

    I get a bit fed up with people advertising gear they dont have then want me to pay them in advance for them to import said goods so I just do it direct and cut out the delay and cost same with warranty issues and repairs.

    I also prefer the Brownell's version.

    I tried to contact Target Dynamics International Limited today I could only see an email contact and I could not get by the picture verification tried several times to send the email, could be my PC.

    Ive owned a couple of MDTs an XLR and handled a few DPTs wich are all much of a muchness. All well made gear and customizable with your favorite AR stocks and grips. The difference in some of the stock designs mean some have a bit of drop in the stock but others are simalar ergonomics to a flat top AR15 and need a bit of a cheek riser.
    My personal favourite was the XLR prototype bullpup chassis but it never went into production.



    Theres also an Aussie made Bullpup chassis By Steve at Precision Rifle Products.

    MDT do shop direct but the air freight from Canada is hugely pricey. If your not in a hurry you can do sea freight for a 1/4 of the price. They also do one sale a year (Black Friday). I am planning to wait until Black Friday and then order the ESS for my Howa 6.5CM with sea freight.

    If you are replying to me... I think I worked out roughly $1400 landed for the ESS with a 15” no rail forend and the standard ESS buttstock. That is including sea shipping, but with approximating what they were on sale for last Black Friday.

    Just go on the website and build it up as you would and go through the process to shipping and then convert the currency.

    Just ordered a FDE Magpul CTR stock and Two Magpul FDE CTR 3/4 Cheek Risers from Brownell's to fit to my new chassis.

    I have also applied for an Permit to Import (no arguments with NZ customs) awaiting response.

    My chassis and other parts should hit NZ within the next few days again await response, will they disappear into the admin black hole?

    It would have been better to get the permits first. They can destroy your items if they want, but with luck and the current fiasco and back log they will let you apply retospectively.
    But now you need a permit for EVERYTHING... good thing is its taking about 1.5~2 weeks at the moment.

    Yip not the end of the world just a bit bored today and decided I want the stock to match the chassis, you are correct and I agree get your NZ import permit sorted first.

    I have the import permits for the chassis and other gear.

    Shipping options are on the website! If you need us to hold off on a shipment send us an e-mail once the order is placed. We can be reached via our support portal. https://support.mdttac.com/hc/en-us/.

    We are likely not going to offer the ground/sea route in the future. The issue is there is no tracking number, and it seems like most shipments to NZ take 3 - 4 months, and we cannot provide any updates. Since we are a very customer-oriented business, we feel this doesn't serve our customers. However, if the shipping cost is a concern we do have dealers in NZ that should be able to order on your behalf!
