In my state of lack of knowledge, I googled "chassis" for definition. Most reference were to the frame of a vehicle and the supporting structure for electronics.It never changed and isn't a buzzword. Just another term which is used prominently in the precision long range rifle world.
Lack of knowledge or exposure to something doesn't equate to it not existing.
This is the closest definition I could find that somewhat referred to a gun. ......
2.
Ordnance. the frame or railway on which a gun carriage moves backward and forward.
Is this the proper definition of the term in the precision long range rifle world or is there a more current definition? Can I use the term to refer to the stock on my deer rifle, or does it have to be for LR guns? I ask because at post #5 the poster mentioned about a chassis for an SKS which is hardly a LR gun.
Sooooo confusing!
