MDT was born out of a single purpose: to provide better value and better accuracy for precision rifles. The first MDT chassis was developed from the ground up based on the needs of shooters.
Our engineers verified every function and feature based on the input from competitive shooters. The end result was a game-changing product called the TAC21 that continues to perform at the range, in the field and in competitions around the world.
Today, MDT chassis, magazines and accessories are still developed the same way.
We collaborate, question and verify our concepts with precision shooters from around the globe to ensure that every MDT product is designed with the same single purpose: to provide our customers with the absolute best product possible.

Gunsmith tip break cleaner will strip carbon off steel like no one’s business and dry residue free, will also blast off cosmoline and bluing salt gunk it can also clean your rotors I guess

@scottbeverly188 9 месяцев назад

I was just watching cleaning videos from benchrest shooters and F class shooters and the difference between cleaning regimes is pretty big. Some said they only cleaned when accuracy started dropping off while most others cleaned after every match. Benchrest guys clean before, during and after so they might be considered a little extreme, but it would be hard to argue their thinking if they are winning matches. I know for a fact that I need to step up my rifle cleaning game.

@xBobby 7 месяцев назад

@@FrancisColonPRSso even when brushing the bore you still use a 30cal brush? And I noticed you guys are using the black handle rod which is for 223 cal any particular reason for that? I always assumed you’d want everything to be the same as the caliber you’re cleaning.

@trevorhawkins8757 9 месяцев назад

Wet a patch with BoreTech carbon remover, let it sit on the carbon ring for 15 minutes, spin it 10-15 times, push 2 dry patches through and I’m done. Run my bore scope and it’s perfectly clean.

Is it OK to pull jags and brushes back threw the crown like that? My instructor told me to push through from the breech one way only and remove the jag or patch after each stroke which makes it a lot harder work but he said it was worth it to protect the crown.

@MDTTAC 5 месяцев назад

Fair point. The most important part is making sure that your chamber and bolt are cleaned regularly.

@eggbert191 9 месяцев назад

I use a 1 liter plastic bottle over my muzzle when cleaning. Cut it in half about halfway down the bottle so it can be spread apart to go over the muzzle. All the patches and any spray from brushes are all contained in the bottle

@fatd0g 9 месяцев назад

Very helpful video, thanks! Noticed grease for the bolt lugs but no oil in the bore - is that just for matches?

@MDTTAC 8 месяцев назад

Just need to grease your bolt

@FrancisColonPRS 8 месяцев назад

We don't oil the bore directly because we generally shoot our rifles often enough to prevent solvent/corrosion from storage.

@patrickgjorven7832 3 месяца назад

I wouldn't do that to any rifle in the bore. Reason is it would end up like having rain water droplets plugging the bore, and we all know what happens to rifle barrels when you try to shoot it when water is in the barrel.

@kten237 2 месяца назад

Can you please make a video on ‘How to break in your new barrel’.

@DanielReyes-hz1qk 6 месяцев назад

Unrelated question, but with fixed stocks and barrels that long in what kind of case do you transport your rifles? I have hard cases long enough but they're too bulky, and most soft cases max out at 46 inches inside.

@MDTTAC 6 месяцев назад

People will try to use a a folding buttstock to be able to stow easier, however, when that is not available, you will need to just go with a longer case.

@PW_SD 9 месяцев назад

Did they use undersized brushes in order to pull back through the barrel ? Or reverse the brush direction by coming all the way out the muzzle ?

@Go__Birds 9 месяцев назад

Brushes aren't made directional. They work the same forward and backwards. You just have to go all of the way out before changing directions

@akalooker1 9 месяцев назад

Maybe I just missed it, but how long were the cleaning rods you used? Thanks for such a detailed video, it was very beneficial.

@sjcrw 9 месяцев назад

use as needed. I used a 36 on my 24" 223, works fine. until when switched to 6.5prc. the stock's cheek riser simply can't be removed, and the handle is too big, so had to upgrade to a 40 or 44" rod. you don't need a super long rod, sometime the bigger jag went out of the muzzle then come back might be a problem, finding 1 rod to fit all rifles are tough. at the of the day, you might ended up with couple anyways.

@derrickwhitten8178 9 месяцев назад

Best chamber cleaning method has been a mystery to me. Good info. My main question from the video is Francis said to you a 30 cal brush on a 6mm barrel. I have a 6mm nylon brush that is extremely difficult to get down the bore. My 6mm brass brush does fine, but going to a 30 cal nylon brush seems impossible. Just in my experience

@MDTTAC 8 месяцев назад

Whatever works best for you and is able to get it clean.

@FrancisColonPRS 8 месяцев назад

The 30 cal nylon brush I use has thin bristles that flex out of the way. I've experienced what you are referring to also. As the brush gets larger, the thin bristles can deform/bend out of the way easier. Some of the high quality nylon brushes are too dense to use the method I demonstrated in video.

Thanks for the response Francis! 👍

@x69WINNING69x 9 месяцев назад

Sometimes I’ll use a 30 or even 338 cal brush on the action cleaning rod to clean the neck area. I’ll soak a patch with Boretech C4 there for a few hours and then run the brush for like 30 revs. That always seems to be the hardest part to get clean.

@TheTdwilson 6 месяцев назад

The sport of precision rifle is expensive. These guys will burn multiple barrels a season at $1k per. The cleaning gear you see in this video is a spit in the bucket for these guys. Maybe choose a different method or watch a different video if this one offends your sensibilities?

@DanLeith1987 5 месяцев назад

You have to pay to play. Also the majority of this can be bought for around $100, less the bore scope (about another $100) for many cleanings. For folks that compete on the level these guys do, the barrel condition is imperative.
