WOOX Introduces New Furiosa Micarta Rifle Chassis

Hickory, North Carolina – January 20, 2021 – WOOX has broken new ground with the introduction of the new Furiosa Micarta rifle chassis.

The Furiosa rifle chassis were introduce in 2020 and quickly gained a reputation for accuracy, reliability, and classic design. Now in 2021, WOOX is introducing the first rifle chassis of its kind, combining aircraft grade aluminum and micarta.

Micarta is widely regarded as one of the toughest materials made. During the production process, sheets of material are impregnated with colored dyes and phenolic resin. These sheets are then stacked together to achieve the desired thickness and bonded into a single sheet under tremendous pressure and heat. This process then produces a material that is impervious to cracking or warping. It also produces unique ergonomics with improved grip and never feels cold to the touch. Weather resistant, the WOOX Furiosa Micarta chassis cast off moisture, as well as most oils and solvents. An additional benefit is the exceptional vibrational harmonic dampening properties of the chassis material, which further assists accuracy. Read more
