I hate it.

Started by ordering an action and the saber tactical chassis. The SB chassis would not fit, it bound the trigger when installed. UA installed it that way, shipped it to me with the safety stuck on fire, and the trigger not even moving at all. The only compensation for that fiasco was free return shipping. Woohoo.

SO called UA and swapped it for the delta force chassis. OMG this thing is heavier than philosophy class. I could not, for my use case of shooting out back and an occasional field jaunt, lug that thing around.

So I found that FORM from the UK made some beautiful walnut stocks with cheek and LoP adjustments...ordered one of those. Finally get the trigger guard with it, and go to put it all together, and find out that it doesn't fit. Apparently the DRS PRO and the DRS CLASSIC have different trigger groups, and they are not compatible across stocks. The PRO is intended ONLY for chassis style - despite only fitting 2 of the 3 chassis available.

So back to UA, and ordered a standard trigger group, which they claim FX says you can swap, but they never have. I probably should have looked at videos of removing the trigger assembly before ordering that, because now there is no way I am excited about taking all those tiny pieces apart lol.

So, now, 6 month in on ownership, and I still have a gun I cannot shoot. I am ready to stop throwing good money after bad - I just wanted a slug ready FX gun, it just looks like this adventure is down a rabbit hole full of poo.

Anyone want a DRS pro action with no stock? Walnut FORM stock anyone? I'm sure no one does, just really frustrated and needed to vent.

I have a DRS Pro with the MDT chassis and a DRS Tactical. Both shoot lights out. Why didn’t you just buy it in the chassis it was designed to be paired with? Sure would have saved you a lot of time and a headache.

savor sweet the bitter wisdom.
$1600 for a chassis for a $1200 action just sounds dumb tho.
