New Stock Timelines from Manners and AG Stock

[Article 4]

Hey all
Heads up! I am hearing 6 month build times for all Manners and AG Composite stock builds. If you are planning on a new rifle build this year, good thing to know and get ahead of!!!

Isn't 6 months an improvement for Manners?

Yeah maybe....seems like an improvement would be warranted if they are 6 months back...lots of folks out there need a job. Maybe hire a few more folks? Dunno?

Been that way at least 7 years since this thread started https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/manners-composite-stocks-estimated-lead-times.6252613/

A funny post by someone in it:

Remember the Mitch Hedberg joke about cooking a baked potato in the oven?


"Sometimes, I'll order a Manner stock,,, even if I don't need one......, because by the time it's done,, who knows?!?"

On another note, i just ordered a benchmark blank with a quoted 1 year lead time today which definitely jives with that quote..

Keep an eye on manners site. They typically have a lot of ready to ship stocks that can save time.

Redvanes on LRH probably has a Manners sitting on the shelf; rem 700 with M5 or Tikka.

That's for the shoutout! That'd be me...

Right now I have LA Pro Hunters & Left Handed LA Pro Hunters. Been sitting on the left handers for a while now but I know there's some lefties out there still

My contact at Manners says that they can't find enough people who want to work. They're always looking to hire!

No kidding.. The "lots of people out there need a job" thing hasn't been around for a while far as I can tell.

If anyone wants a Manners just buy it from The Battalion or Altus. Battalion has tons of LRH’s last I looked.

Seems like Manners is more converned with large orders by distributors. The custom orders take a back seat.

That means they're not paying enough.

I got my Manners EH1TK in just under 8 months. It came in December, so I didn't get around to mounting it for a while. When I did mount it I realized that the LOP was shorter than I preferred. I messaged them and they were very helpful. We emailed back and forth about options and they agreed to make me a new stock at no charge. I just got the email today that it is ready to ship.

Timeline:

Initial Order: 4/10/23
Ready to Ship: 12/6/23

Replacement Order: 4/15/24
Replacement Order Ready to Ship: 6/7/24

Got my LRH w/ mini chassis left handed from Battalion and had it within a week. I was beyond shocked when I saw they had one and even called to make sure it was legit. The color options weren't too great but I went with scorched earth and I actually really like it. The girl on the phone steered me in the right direction. They were great to deal with.

I’ve had a high plains in the cart more than a few times. One day ha.

That sucks was hoping to do a new build this summer

Go for it. I enjoy it more than my McMillan Game Warden LR that I have on my long action. It might be just a bit heavier but it fits me better. Gun shoots great with the chassis too. I thought I was going to have to bed the recoil lug but it's shooting so well I'm not touching it.
