It certainly looks like a KS - any chance of you posting a picture of the loading port part of the stock? As I recall the Brown built ones are a little more rounded versus the McMillan built stocks if that makes sense. This is a Brown KS and not a great pic but the edges of the loading part of the stock are a bit more rounded?? Based on the weight I'd bet its a McMillan built stock.

Frank, Thanks for the lesson. I do have a Brown Precision KS stock as well. I compared the 2 stocks and you are correct. The loading ports are a little different in shape. I didn’t notice that before. Here is a comparison of the 2.

KS built by McMillan. OregonM recalls correctly about the bolt cutout. The brown is more rounded. The inletting on the micky is also a little more refined.

Nice comparison Foreman. If you look at the bolt handle cutout on the brown (hidden in your first pic) you will notice it is more of a “teardrop” shape as well. The “M” in the OPs pic is another confirmation. Happy Easter all!

And I'm glad AKwolverine also chimed in - he's seen a KS stock before I believe Great score on that stock, looks likes its pretty much as new!!

Just looked at my John Lacy Remington book. I didn't know until a little bit ago, but H&S also made a Kevlar stock for Remington. It also mentions that the KS was a Custom Shop product.

Yes, the KS Custom Mtn Rifle was a Custom Shop built rifle. And I believe at the end of the KS run they did build some with B & C built stocks but maybe it was HS Precision and not B&C. Nice rifles IMHO, sure like mine.

Does KS stand for Kevlar Stock?

Yes. KS = kevlar stock RS = rynite stock FS = fiberglass stock
All introduced about ‘87 IIRC.
News to me that hs ever made a ks stock (or maybe that is not what Butch meant.)
I have not seen a b&c ks but their mountain rifle stock from the ti is nearly identical...would certainly have been easy for Remington swap as a cost saving measure. Remington did all kinds of stock stuff in that era. In fact the only SA KS (mystical beast that they were) I have ever seen have all been on first gen saum ti’s. I think Gale once posted they made 500 as a special order, and my guess would be they all went on ti’s as there was never a true SA 700 KS. Fun trivia ...

Not sure if I've ever posted this picture or not?? The 1st Gen Ti rifles that had the B&C stock and also the Gander Mtn Guide rifles that had that stock, anyway, they really where similar to the KS stock. I know some think the grip is thicker and it is - sometimes. In the picture the top rifle is a Gander Mtn Guide, middle is a 1st Gen Ti, bottom is a KS. The Ti stock and the KS are almost identical overall, not saying they are as good but as far as overall measurements they are sure close. The Gander stock does have a thicker grip, think it just depends on when they where made but all the older ones where pretty nice IMHO.

Never knew that about the Ti’s and Mountain Guide stocks, definitely looks to be a minor difference.

I never knew that H-S made any Remington stocks or Kevlar stocks. John Lacy's book said that on page 153. Said it was a composite of Kevlar, graphite, fiberglass, and special resins. It also says it came with an adjustable butt. I have 3 rifles that started as FS rifles and they have Brown Precision stocks. I think mine started as Mod7 in 243.

Butch, I believe brown made all the fs stocks, short lived as the fs was.

Top rifle is a Brown Precision with 2 McMillan's below mounted on Model 7 Remingtons. McMillan made different variations of the KS stock, so mine may not be exactly like yours, but from appearances, you do have a McMillan. 3 McMillan Stocks..., with differing recoil pad lengths.
