G179xxxx should be ‘87.

That stock pictured is a McMillan.

‘86 for first year best I’ve been able to tell; maybe a few snuck out in late ‘85? The relationship with Brown ended when usrac filed for bankruptcy in January 86, per Mark Brown. And his recollection was they only made “perhaps a thousand” for Winchester.


AK is right. That is definitely a McMillan. I've owned a couple of the Brown stocks and a couple of the McMilan featherweights. One of the Browns was a blind mag and one had a floorplate but the McMillans I had were all floorplate versions, including the one I still own. The comb is higher on the brown stocks but I do like the McMillan design above. That said, I prefer McMillan featherweight winlite stock over that one. It's a shame McMillan won't make them anymore.
