The CDX-33 Patriot uses Cadex's Dual Bidirectional Recoil Lug design which locks the action to the chassis from both sides, eliminating receiver movement during firing. The quick-change barrel system allows caliber conversion in the field without tools beyond the included barrel wrench. The DX2 Evo trigger is adjustable from 1.5 to 4 pounds with zero creep. The chassis accepts standard AR-style pistol grips.
