TandemKross Upriser Chassis Straight Adapter Review

TandemKross Upriser Chassis with Straight Adapter, as delivered

With the release of the Upriser Chassis for the Ruger PC Carbine this year, everyone had an opinion. Magwell funnel? Great! Extended magazine release? Awesome! Angled stock adapter? Hmm.
