RokStok

[rbutcher1234]

I for one am very glad the UM is maintain a QC standard and not letting crappy products ship.

As someone who's hard on my stuff and also waiting on 2 rokstoks, I would appreciate getting a call asking "would you mind one that looks like crap?"
As long as its structurally sound and straight, I don't care how it looks at all. Though, I guess maybe the qc issues are deeper than cosmetic?

How about, "would you mind using this one that looks like crap until we can get you a pretty one?"

Even better!

I’d buy one that looks whooped to match what mine will look like in a year or two anyway

They are rough. ROUGH. I saw the last 7 I think, none of them could be sold. Functionally they seem fine, and I am shooting one now. But, there is no way they could be sold. How they ever got shipped is baffling. Jake is at the expo now, but he will be making a decision and plan for the people waiting.

@Unknown Munitions could they be sold as blemishes if they’re functionally sound?

They could post them in the classifieds and auction them off. Highest bidder gets entry in to a S2H class plus a Rokstock?

(guitar into fades in/out...) Enhance your subcontracted production experience with stawkees stawks! Are you tired of struggling with mediocre quality control that hinders your ability to receive a stawk? (huge inhale) Imagine having a highly functional production and QC team, that not only enhances your reputation, but also provides superior customer service with a consistent build... (mini inhale) stawkees stawks offers a wiiide range of 'acceptable' quality to shipping, including exaggerated finish weights, a patented list of 'reasons', and multiple different ETA's for the same item. Whether you're a long term pre-order or a product enthusiast, our version of QC is per that day's mood. Experience unmatched confusion and uncertainty with stawkees stawks (long nose inhale).........

Just goofing around here. Please don't crucify/ban me...

I actually like the products I've used/owned from Stockys, but this LE Green saga has just been tipped over from 'silly and disappointing' to 'is the green weave material cursed?? what day is it again?? They shipped out semi-turds after all this?'.... I want them to succeed... I think the standard straight up carbon stuff is going better at least

I was thinking of lowering the price not jacking it up

 

[swavescatter]

Maybe those waiting more than a year or whatever get the first option to buy the additional Rokstock inventory before the drop?

Roksliders, apparently I let this very fresh info slip at the Hunt Expo and it took all of .35 microseconds to get posted here on the Slide. There are currently 25 customers on deck for a LE Green Rokstok. Below is the email I just sent to them each individually:

PLEASE REPLY TO THIS EMAIL AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE

Good afternoon,

You are receiving this email as a LE Green Rokstok customer in our production schedule.
I deeply apologize for the amount time that’s elapsed since your Rokstok purchase.
Due to manufacturing issues, the LE Green stocks cannot be produced to quality standards.
I’m sure it is difficult to understand why it took so long to arrive at this conclusion
We tried multiple batches of Green Carbon and multiple process changes to try and get this done for you with no success.

Because of the amount of time you’ve been waiting, we are going to REFUND your green stock and give you a FREE one. Yes, you will be receiving a FREE stock.

I hope for most of you this is an acceptable middle ground for the amount of time you’ve been waiting.

Your free stock will include either black carbon camo, single color, or sponge pattern.
Please reply to this email with the exact stock you’d like for free.
We will be expediting these stocks through production for you.
The refund/ free stock delivery process will occur as stocks are produced.

I will be visiting Stockys Stocks next week to help hire a Production Manager to improve overall processes and quality.

Thank you all for your patience and support!

What about the other rokstoks? You mentioned in the pod that you would take a few to the expo and save a few for retail. I’ve been checking the website compulsively to see if any tikka Rokstok hit the retail market.

I really applaud this.

 

[walk2112]

Very much appreciated Jake. @Unknown Munitions . Stand up move.
Good things coming in the future, happy to put the green carbon weave in the rearview.

 

[Schmo]

@Unknown Munitions,
An absolute stand up move and great way to take care of your customers! This customer service is one reason I will continue to be a customer.

I am sure this is probably frustrating to all parties, customers and UM. However, this seems like awesome customer support from UM. I’m sure the QC issues will get resolved. I look forward to ordering a Rokstok when the orders open again.

Wow. I've got no dog in the fight, as I don't have a stock on order. But this is really impressive, good on you guys @Unknown Munitions . You've earned my business when the occasion arises, for parts, smithing, or otherwise.

 

[regulator795]

So, I have to pick a pattern for my Rokstok. I need ideas. Gun is gonna be a whitetail rifle in the Appalachian mountains. Where do you go to just look at different camo pattern options?

 

[Stinky Coyote]

sounds awesome,

what's everyone's thoughts on those stocky's recoil pads? if the qc move brings things in line with tikka quality match and can be more like an $800 dollar product like alterra etc. that recoil pad gotta go, it's way too budget and came on same shipping container with rest of toy's'r'us products, and would anyone really mind if cost went up if the qc and everything else moved up a level closer to other stock manufacturer levels? I know I'd pay more for that next level up, the tikka deserves it

on the wood, red rubber (aka ruger/sako) is the answer there, total blasphemy with the stocky's pad on that lumber, the classy lumber needs some class on the ass
