Here is the professional English translation for the B52 chassis description:

B52 Positioning The B52 was developed to cover a wide spectrum of users:

  • Experienced competitors who want a robust, adjustable, and durable platform capable of thousands of rounds per year.

  • Long-range shooting practitioners seeking a stable chassis for "ELR" calibers and extended sessions, with a focus on mirage management and shooting comfort.

The objective is clear: to provide a chassis capable of supporting a shooter's progression, from their first regional match to more ambitious competitions, without ever becoming a limitation in terms of ergonomics or stability.

Construction & Geometry The B52 is precision-machined from a high-strength aluminum alloy, in line with other APW products. CNC machining ensures:

  • Consistent geometry from one unit to another.

  • Solid and repeatable bedding for the action.

  • High overall rigidity to limit parasitic flex during firing.

The action housing area is engineered to offer a stable and repeatable interface, adapted for intensive match use (shooting from barricades, tripods, bags, or improvised rests). The philosophy is that of a match chassis: absorb mechanical stress, stabilize the rifle/optic assembly, and allow the shooter to focus on wind reading and shot execution.

Compatibility & Standards The B52 is designed around standards widely used in the modern precision ecosystem:

  • MDT-style grips: compatible with AR-15 style grips, allowing shooters to choose a proven ergonomic grip (straight, vertical, wraparound, etc.).

  • AICS Magazines: the chassis accepts AICS-type magazines, the industry standard for bolt-action precision rifles. This simplifies magazine management across multiple platforms.

Ergonomics & Adjustments The B52 was designed for real-world precision shooting, where ergonomic adjustments are not a "bonus" but a necessity. Key features include:

  • Folding buttstock: providing the choice between maximum rigidity or ease of transport (making the rifle more compact for cases, safes, or match movements).

  • Modular stock: allowing for the adjustment of cheek weld position, length of pull, and recoil plate placement to maintain a repeatable position, even with large objective optics and high mounts.

  • Rear interface: designed to work seamlessly with rear bags, "game changer" style bags, or classic prone supports.

These adjustable ergonomics allow the rifle to be tailored to the shooter's morphology and preferences, reducing fatigue, improving stability, and facilitating a clean, repeatable firing cycle.

Mirage Management & Included Accessories A standout feature of the B52 is the attention paid to real-world long-range shooting conditions. The chassis is delivered standard with:

  • 1 mirage shield: to break up the mirage rising from the barrel or the barrel/suppressor/muzzle brake assembly, particularly during high-cadence fire or in high heat.

In practice, this allows for a very rapid operational setup: add your action, barrel, optic, and muzzle device, and the B52 chassis already provides the components needed to limit thermal impact (mirage) on your sight picture.
