Choosing reliable Australian mounting solutions for the MANAEL Chassis Systems
At MANAEL, we believe in creating options for shooters. It doesn’t matter if you’re an occasional hunter, dedicated competitor or somewhere in between, you deserve to choices and ability to customise your gear to suit you.
So as we were developing our line up of Australian made chassis for hunting and competition, the SCSA Mounting system was the premium choice for attaching MANAEL Rear Stocks.
Let’s have a look at how the SCSA Mount & MANAEL Chassis System work together.
What is the SCSA Mount type?
What is the SCSA Mount type?
The SCSA Mount System is a versatile mounting solution designed by Southern Cross Small Arms (SCSA) for attaching rear stocks to rifle chassis.
It first appeared on the SCSA TSP-X chassis and now is a feature of the Taipan X Rifle.
MANAEL is the original designer and manufacturer of rear stock adaptors for the SCSA Rifle and Chassis line up. These adaptors feature SCSA Mount style to Buffer Tube Rear Stocks and Picatinny Rail Stocks.
Why do we like the SCSA Mount style?
At MANAEL we only support quality design so you can trust in your gear in any situation. Our Chassis are the ultimate solutions for precision and hunting rifle performance.
Here’s why we know using the SCSA Mount style is the absolute best option.
Rugged & Reliable Australian Design
The SCSA mount its rugged, reliable and proven. We love that its an Australian design and it emphasises strength and simplicity.
Working Together / Industry Collaboration
We work closely with Southern Cross Small Arms and were very familiar with the SCSA Mount (we are the team who brought you the original SCSA to Buffer Tube Adaptor with permission from Southern Cross Small Arms).
Our team knew this Australian mounting system would be the best solution for our Aussie made chassis.
We approached SCSA for permission to adopt it on the MANAEL Chassis System – they said yes!
And now we both win, with interchangeable parts!
Our 2021 model Sedajo Chassis used the SCSA Mount. In fact, we even used the SCSA TSP-X rear stock! Since then we’ve launched our own range of compatible rear stocks.
The 2022 Sedajo Chassis featured the iconic Sedajo “Goose Neck” Rear Stock. We continued using the SCSA Mount with our own rear stock designs.
Picatinny Mount Rear stocks were briefly introduced in 2023.
As of 2024, All MANAEL Stocks feature the SCSA Mount.
Versatility / Creating Options
Because MANAEL and SCSA support each other, you get so many more options.
Every MANAEL Chassis from 2024 features the SCSA Mount. This means you can use any MANAEL rear stock with any MANAEL Chassis.
You can swap rear ends between:
- MANAEL CB12 Chassis
- MANAEL Sedajo Chassis

For example: want a hunting/target crossover rifle with a lighter rear end? Try the Sedajo Chassis foreend and swap the rear with a lightweight MANAEL Hunter Rear Stock.
And you also have so many options when with your Southern Cross Small Arms collection: All our rear stocks can be used on the SCSA Taipan and TSP-X Chassis. The SCSA rear ends can be used on your MANAEL Chassis.

Are MANAEL rear stocks compatible with SCSA products? And if so, how does this compatibility benefit shooters?
