RokStok

[Windblown907]

I just got a response from UM and the M70 stocks will have molded in grip texture! And now single color ceracoat is $0 extra but bare carbon is an $80 up charge. Just figured this is information the group would appreciate.

I live in NW Montana. My rokstok went to Memphis, before coming back. It's like a 3.5 hr drive to CDA from my house, go figure......

Well they use these newfangled jet planes to move freight...

As the story goes IIRC, the founder of Fedex, Fred Smith, got a "C" at Yale grad school on his paper with the idea for a transportation company.
After serving with the USMC in Vietnam he started Fedex in 1971.
According to Forbes, today he is worth $6.9 Billion.
Sometimes you have to think beyond moving one package from point A to point B.

Weird since Stockys charges for paint but not for bare carbon. I guess slapping some paint hides some imperfections that they would have to patch up otherwise???

I have noticed some of the recent painted stocks posted with small voids and bubbles.

This is the likely reason. But who doesn't want free paint?

I'd rather take the bare carbon with imperfections just like I do with Stockys blems for no upcharge.

Nada. Not a sausage. Couldn't care less since it was such a lovely surprise!

Word on the street is I’ll be able to post a pic of mine tomorrow, and will, because it’s of the elusive LE green. Can’t wait to shoot it, and finally put hands on one

Yeah buddy!!!

Apparently my stock is in a batch that had to be sent to a third party "stock finisher".... Another delay I suppose. I ordered mine within the first couple days of it going live

Anyone received a plain carbon, no rail version?

Yes

 

[ARK_Ginger]

Anyone get one with spacers?

Just got a shipping notification for my second rokstok.

Overachiever.

Shit drives me nuts, there's no way the logistics make sense. I bought a set of tires out of Texas last year and they went up to Maine before heading to Washington state. No wonder shipping costs are outrageous..

Happy to explain. Typically it simply comes down to volume of freight going in that direction. No one wants to pay then entire cost of shipping one package 3 hours over the mountains. Consolidating freight at hubs means and entire plane or truck full of freight is going to the destination. No different than splitting gas money with a buddy on a road trip.

Mine will be here tomorrow. Ordered 8am MST 12/22, plain carbon Tikka with rail, Sendero profile.

Not sure why Fedex thinks it's necessary to send it to Memphis when I live less than 3 hours from UM, but I guess I can handle an extra couple days of waiting...

Really no different that you driving to UM for 1 frozen pizza or going to the local groceries store that received and entire truck load. Saving through volume or that would be one hell of an expensive pizza

It'd be more fun to drive all the way to UM ... even if they only had frozen pizza.

At this point I don't care if mine looks like it fell off the delivery truck, ran over, and chewed on by a stray pitbull. As long as the inlet is good and it's structurally gtg.

210.

Yes

First day order?
