SOLUS BOLT ACTION RIFLE SYSTEM

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR SOLUS CHASSIS & STOCK

 
 

The SOLUS Competition Chassis was designed to meld the body of a shooter with the action of a rifle. For these two systems to harmonically work together there was a high focus on both general ergonomics and adjustability to easily provide shooters with a tailored fit. Beyond ergonomics, the SOLUS Competition Chassis also emphasizes modularity, accommodating numerous different accessories—allowing for the firearm to be tailored to a multitude of different use cases.

Adjustable thumb rest, length of pull, cheek comb height, and recoil pad cant allow for the shooter to fit the chassis to their individual body. Full length Arca and M-LOK forend allow for the inclusion of many industry standard accessories and tripod mounts. An adjustable ambidextrous magazine catch allows for positive lockup with the many different AICS and AIAW detachable box magazines currently on the market.

ADJUSTMENTS

To adjust the Length of Pull of the stock, unscrew the knob until the knob no longer turns. With the knob fully loosened, use one hand to depress and hold the spring-loaded knob. With the other hand, grasp the Length of Pull/Recoil Pad assembly and lengthen or shorten the stock’s length of pull to suit your needs. The length is adjustable in seven ¼” increments. The stock’s spring-loaded locking mechanism will engage on each of the seven recesses. Once the desired length has been obtained and the spring-loaded knob has engaged in a locked position, tighten the knob to complete the stock’s length of pull adjustment.

Adjusting the Comb Riser is accomplished in a similar process using the forward upper knob. After the knob is loosened, the adjustable comb can be raised or lowered. Depressing the knob is not required for the Comb Riser once in the desired position. Tightening the knob secures the riser in place.

Magazine Latch Height Adjustment

The magazine latch height can be adjusted to ensure correct retention and presentation of the magazine. To adjust, simply loosen the Locking Screw two full turns (see following image). Insert your magazine into the magazine well. Tighten the Height Adjustment screw to minimize magazine movement. Test by releasing the magazine a few times through depressing the magazine release. No binding should occur. If binding does occur or the magazine will not drop free, slowly back off the Height Adjustment Screw. Once satisfied with your adjustment, secure the Locking Screw. Use Vibra-Tite VC-3 or Loctite 222 to prevent loosening of the fasteners. Apply no more than 4 in/lbs of torque to the Locking Screw.

Adjustable Thumb Rest Installation

The adjustable thumb rest comes installed on the chassis, to adjust it to your desired position loosen the two #6-32 adjustment screws until you can move the thumb rest back and forth. There is .380” of adjustment frontwards and back. Once the desired position is achieved tighten the top screw to hold the thumb rest in place and apply a light coat of Loctite 222 and torque to no more than 3.5 in/lbs. Repeat process on top screw.
