Rokstok Lite

[TxLite]

Is UM considering taking operations in house? I understand the frustration with stocky but I’ve been ready to buy a rokstok lite for a couple months and still waiting for another MKC-esque drop, but the lead times after order are nuts. I received a foundation stock in under 4 weeks and a McMillan in 2 months. Both of which are higher quality than anything I’ve ever received from stockys.

Played with a Lite for a hundred rounds or more at University this past week. Daddy like. If the cheek is built up it's an awesome stock.
The wood is even better.

UM owns the mold but they do not own the process. The molds and the stock designs cut into the mold are all owned by UM but it isn't like UM has the machines and materials already in-house ready to make carbon fiber stocks. That would take a heck of an initial investment for minimal ROI when keeping current pricing. In addition, we don't know what the current conditions are with production as Stockys seems to be able to keep their own branded stocks mostly in stock or with very short wait times.

Sometimes when shits hard to get people want it more.
Great strategy used by many and nothing wrong with it.

Thx @PBBananaHammock. Planning a similar setup and have been looking for a clear picture of the clearance between a Rokstok and an 8” OTB suppressor on a 16” bbl. That’s perfect.

The balance point of that can with the 16” barrel is legitimately as close to perfect as I could ask for.

why. there's a bottleneck at UM too whether it's cerakote or parts etc.

Surely the biggest chunk of the delay is Stocky’s production and poor qc

You should call up UM or Stocky’s and ask them when Stocky’s made its most recent delivery to UM.

well between me and my friends we have 3 of the first 15 stocks ordered. and 2 of those 3 stocks have been at UM since end of March/April 1 so about 2.5 months. The third one ordered got sent to UM then UM said what was sent from stockys did not match what the order #. so instead of grabbing the next stock that was sent to UM that matches that order #, that order # instead gets sent to the back of the line to be remade at stockys with how they process their orders. on that one last update was over a month ago. I think pads is what most are waiting on at UM but hopefully they get a big shipment and get them rolling again. There's a long wait on regular rokstocks as well so I don't know how much that improves things

Picture #1 is a 16" Tikka with an OG6.5 in a regular Rokstok, picture #2 is the 16" in Rokstok Lite with OG6S and above it is an 18" MRC with OG6S in a regular Rokstok.

So from here you just need my address and CC, right?

We’ll that makes complete sense.

Unreal.

You’ve had two stocks just sitting at UM for 2.5 months for no other reason?

Come on man.

 

[JCMCUBIC]

It's a long wait. There are issues, bottle necks, imperfect stocks, etc.

Regardless, I'm thankful to UM for making these available.

Me and my 2 friends each ordered one right as orders opened. All 3 of our stocks got to UM end of march/april 1st. My order # didn't match what was sent from stockys and mine got sent back into the stockys queue. I got an update a month ago it was still getting built at stockys and nothing since. Obviously cerakote takes some time but the 2 stocks my friends ordered are still at UM, waiting on pads I believe.

Have you not been offered an alternate pad?

@Lane Avery you can have two of my pads if this is the case.

Very kind of you and I double checked with them which pads they were waiting on and they both said thanks but they are fine with waiting.

This looks like the grip strip along the toe is dished/grooved out. If that’s the case and it’s an option…definitely add it to mine please. I’m in love.

it is dished to try it. it's not currently an option due to the process having a high probability for a catastrophe.

if I get a better way to hold the stock worked out, maybe in the future.

The grit alone is a HUGE improvement. The recess is only a marginall improvement. I find the groove isn't in the right place for every position. regardless of where the groove is located, it would never be in the right place 100% of the time.
I prefer just the grit for a more universal grip.
