New: Tarsacci MDT 8000 two-piece lower is in stock

As of this week we're shipping two-piece carbon-fiber lowers for the Tarsacci MDT 8000. We've had this on the roadmap for nearly a year and spent the last eight months in back-and-forth with Tarsacci's engineering team to make sure the geometry matches theirs exactly.

Why this took so long

The MDT 8000 uses a proprietary lower-rod geometry that doesn't match any of the Minelab, Garrett, or XP machines we already support. We needed:

  • A spec sheet from Tarsacci (which required becoming an authorized dealer first)
  • Several prototype builds to validate clevis fit
  • A production run with our carbon-fiber supplier at a non-standard tube diameter
  • Stress-testing in wet conditions (the MDT is a known waterproof machine)

What you get

  • 24" extended length, collapses to 15" for travel
  • Locking stainless ferrule (same design we use on the Equinox 2-piece)
  • All-stainless hardware
  • Matches factory geometry, drops right in without shims or modification

Available now at $89.
