Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Manners wait times

Couldn’t find any recent posts on this topic.

Does anyone know how far out they’ve been running lately?

Planning on ordering an EH2 soon, but have no interest in waiting 6 months +.

Thanks

Good luck with that.....

Well, guess I’ll just try a McM Gamescout then.

Thanks Josh

They have a phone. Give em a ring.

I attempted to order a Manners once. Three months into the wait they informed me they couldn't do the stock I wanted. I emailed asking for an alternative solution, no answer.
So I called them, middle of the day no answer (didn't) leave a message.
Called them next day , again no answer, left message this time, no call back!

Ordered a stock to be made by a competitor had it in hand 3 weeks later (MPI)

Finally received an email from Manners asking how I wanted to proceed? after I already had my new stock! unbelievable lack of customer service!
They may make a fine product but fuug them!

They have this one on their flat top section, says 4-6 weeks once you tell then what inlet you want.

Tom definitely needs to get a handle on his schit. Manners are by and far my favorite stock, but I’m done hassling with trying to ordering new from them. If I can’t find it secondhand or on their ready to ship page, count me out....

It's been said that a women could bear a child before Manners could deliver a stock. At least one member here ordered a stock, waited 9 months for it, only to receive it and find that it wasinletted wrong. You pays your money, you take your chances.

It sucks when the hassle is greater than the product

Been waiting 9 months for an UC. 5 emails to different individuals unanswered. Not impressed. At all.

Wow and folks biitch about McMillan..

The last one I ordered from the flat tops page arrived in 4 weeks.

That's how companies die...

Better buy 20 or so while you can. Grin .

I have ordered 3 in the last two years. MCS -T, MCS-T2, and a EH-6. Two to four month delivery time. Service was always good when I called.

In 2019 not answering or responding to simple emails is a great way to piss off customers. I’d never hassle a small shop with an email and I’m always remiss to even call a small shop as I know they are usually working (Mel comes to mind) ... but Manners? GMAFB.

Thanks for the replies.

I'll just go McMillan again.

I've heard enough here and from a 'smith I use to sway me away from Manners.

After several successful orders, this happened. I'm pretty much done with Manners unless I find a used one at a decent price.

That’s a painful story!

Been through it with a company and ‘Smith before, but not like that.

Man what a bummer to read these threads. I’m a couple months into my wait for an ultra classic. I will give manners credit as communication was good when I placed the order and also when I had an address change (I recently moved)

McMillan is always an option but I’m hoping to try manners on this one

Tom needs a business person to help him run the show. Of 10+ stocks, well more than half have had to go back for one reason or another, but mostly because of incorrect LOP (easy stuff). I love his stocks so I've endured the hassle. I get poor customer service unless I go right to the man, Tom. Tom's personal customer service is 11 on a scale of 10, which keeps me sticking with him. He's actually got one of my returns in HIS hands right now. Anymore, our unspoken rule is if I can't deal with him directly I'm gone. I hope he gets a handle on it, can't grow a business like that.
