Yep
Think this no less than the 3rd posting I've read on the fire.

I've known about it happening for better than 6 months now,maybe closer to a year.

Thanks for the heads up. grin

I hadn’t heard anything until I got the email Friday. I lost all respect for Kelly McMillan after the whole Mc3 debacle. I guess I was fishing for opinions on Bob Beck. I’ve seen his show a couple times, seems like a salesman but occasionally those guys can be alright.

I don’t know any of them but I’ve never had a issue with anything McMillan related. I’ve bought all my stocks or new stocks through Rick. I have called them a lot over the years for information ordering other things they carry etc... I always got a answer and if the person who answered the phone didn’t know if they got it for me pretty quick.

I remember a little about the Mc3 stocks coming out but that’s it. I never ordered one or even looked into one.

I've personally never met Bob, have a friend that knows Bob fairly well. When I saw the posting this week about the change of ownership, I was like huh, I though it had already happened.

I can see the salesman part, but when you are trying to entertain doing videos , shows and pimp your product....I can't be easy.

Thanks

My Ruger sits in a McMillan stock, and I couldn't be happier with it, but please school me about the "Mc3 debacle". Sounds serious.

Yeah- the Mc3. Kelly hyped it up saying it was revolutionary lightweight material - prepaid orders would be shipped in “a couple months”. Finally got a couple a year and half later. Heavy Tupperware with plastic trigger guards. I’m guessing research cost him millions judging by the way their standard stocks have gone up. I’ve been treated really well by the office staff over the years but Kelly can kiss my a$$.

So that must be the stock I saw at the LGS last week. There was a package rifle made up to sell and it said McMillan stock on the tag. Looked like a solid color plastic A5 maybe? It was heavy ,real heavy.

Didn’t bother me. I guess I was shocked to get the press release on Friday and hear it was common knowledge.

I was talking to them in middle of December about specs and weights on a stock model... now 4 weeks later it seems I can't order the stock anymore, because they removed it.

Had I known in December they where canceling several of their stock models.. I would have bought it then!
Propper messaging to customers, either via Facebook, website or emails, and they would have gotten 2 maybe 3 stock orders from me then..
Combine that with all the others from several forums just finding out now, it would add up to quite a few orders..
