McMillan Group Announces Launch of Grayboe LLE
Phoenix, AZ–– Ryan McMillan and the McMillan Group, worldwide leader in firearms industry innovation, announces the launch of Grayboe Stocks in association with the McMillan Group of companies. Utilizing new materials and processes, Grayboe continues the legacy of industry leadership that the McMillan Group has pioneered for more than 40 years while advancing stock technology throughout the entire firearm industry.
"When running the rifle company, we saw an opportunity in the mid level price range of stocks that are available to gun builders and OEMs." Said Grayboe CEO, Ryan McMillan. "We had conceptualized the idea of creating a high quality, high volume, and low price stock in the past, and Grayboe brings that conceptualization to reality."
"We have worked for several years to provide the industry with an affordable off the shelf fiberglass and epoxy stock." Said Kelly McMillan, CEO McMillan Group International. "It took Ryan's background education and experience in the firearms industry to perfect the process and bring it to the market."
The idea behind the creation of Grayboe began over a decade ago when McMillan Fiberglass Stocks realized the need for a more efficient and cost effective way to make high quality epoxy based stocks.
Grayboe is the culmination of two years of intense R&D, which began by building on McMillan's earlier successes and research. Having adapted cutting edge engineering and materials from various industrial sectors, Grayboe innovations led to the development of a manufacturing process that produces rifle stocks unlike any others before. The completely new process has established a high benchmark of strength and stiffness that others will want to follow. This newly developed method of manufacturing brings together high volume and low costs to the well established Epoxy based rifle stock market. Thru these efforts, Grayboe has revolutionized the way in which thermoset stocks are produced, filling an industry void that has been left empty for decades.
Grayboe Stocks cannot be equaled in durability, accuracy, or price.
For more information on Grayboe Stocks, please visit: grayboe.com
About Grayboe Grayboe LLC 's core business is dedicated to creating high quality, strategically priced off the shelf fiberglass stocks for large OEM's, chain stores, distributors, and end users. Every Grayboe stock is made exclusively in the USA and carries a lifetime warranty. Based in Phoenix AZ, Grayboe LLC is a privately held company that is closely affiliated with the McMillan Group of companies.

Interesting website. Looks like their first and so far only product is a copy of the Remington Classic but without checkering. They offer free 3 day shipping, hopefully that's not after a 6 month wait... Price looks good but that "average weight 2.6 pounds" which is 38 ounces might be a deal killer for a lot of folks.

I am guessing they are trying to get the customer who doesn't want to spend $500 for a stock. Their choice of name is strange. You could drop the "R" and paint rainbows on it.

I wonder what there "more efficient and cost effective way to make high quality epoxy based stocks" is? Just getting rid of all the custom options? or have they found some real streamlining of the process? Let hoped that they aren't chopped glass.
While the 38oz is a little concerning, a $300 McMillan sounds like a good start.

I need to read better. 2.6 pounds is actually 41.6 ounces.
The tactical stock 3.9 lbs or over 62 ounces.

Trying to take some of that Bell and Carlson type middle of the road business I'd say.

I also wonder if it is a play on Greybull?
I think, therefore I am, conservative.

I also wonder if it is a play on Greybull? My immediate first thought. Probably proprietary!

Weatherby has its Vanguard, now McMillan has its Grayboe. It's a smart marketing move to expand the business.

Looks like a very nice stock. Mid priced, common configuration, hopefully readily available. Great move.
