Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles McMillans business before and after being sold

Ive tried to give one of these stocks a try but they no longer offer the inlets for many lefty rifles I own so its a no go. Someone else will get my dollars.

LarryO!!! Bacon throat, do the old McMillan owners know you on a first name basis? Liar Larry, the big mouth dummy gunsmith on pow? Do they still accept checks? Haha 😂😂

Theoldwhine,

I likely lament a few patterns that are no longer too. Hint.



What in particular are you looking for? Hint........................

Thank you to those who have kind words and happy experiences with McMillan. We will do our best to keep this going long into the future.

"With regards to the Hunter's edge stock for model 70's. I have many of these stocks and have been quite happy with them." -Handwerk

We are working literally every day to standardize our processes. The factors that affect stock weight are far more numerous than I understood before I started working here. The completely open answer to your question is that we don't know, yet. Our plan is to establish high confidence that we can hit and repeat a given weight range. Then we will be able to publish these weights. It is important to keep in mind that weight will be impacted by the fill type, action, bottom metal and barrel inlets but we plan on providing a range that will help shooters know what to expect.

"Also, can you clarify what stocks are now available for the model 70?" - Pabucktail

It is always best to call our customer service folks at 623-582-9635 to make sure all variations of your rifle are accounted for in our recommendations. To give you a list of all the stocks that we make that can handle the Model 70 they come in two groups.

1. Stocks that we make and will inlet: A3-5, A-5, Game Hunter, Game Scout, Game Warden, HTG, Hunter's Edge Sporter, Pre 64 Monte Carlo, Tooley MBR, and the Win Super Grade RH.
2. Stocks that we make but don't do the inlet: A-2, A-3, Hunter Class (BR), Lazzeroni Thumbhole RH, Marksman, McHale, McMillan Thumbhole, Win Classic, Win Express, Win Hunter, Win Model 70, Win Safari, Win Super Grade LH, and the Win Varmint.

It's been my experience that hate carried for someone is most impactful when it is let go. The object of anger doesn't know your burden (this is true with anyone). You alone suffer the load, needlessly since it bares no fruit. I've met a few egotistical pricks. Bob isn't one of them and I've known him too long to change my mind on that point.

Big Stick

I like where your heads at. LOL!!

Contact our customer service folks. We have strong connections with several top gunsmiths who are happy to do the inlet work we don't do anymore. We didn't discontinue these offering until we made sure that we had somewhere for our customers to go to get this work done.

Eric,

Inletting is the EASY part,what I lament are moulds that are gone!(grin)

The Annie T-Hole Sillywet is simply sensational and I'd love to have a few in S/A 700 M5 inlets. 'Course I like these bitches too.



I reckon you boys will continue to do just fine,especially beings the path is lubricated so copiously,with Crying Karen Tears and Melting Snowflakes! Hint.

I’ve personally talked to your customer service quite a few times over the past few weeks. Worst customer service I’ve ever dealt with. The edge stock is now at my gunsmith getting fixed. McMillan never offered anything for all the inconvenience they caused and waisted time.

Scott

Ohhhh that’s the Annie Sillywet....Stick, you have a way with words... it’s like a little civil war era mixed with 19th century western and the creative vulgarity of a drill instructor. You have a gift...more youtube vids please

Scott,

I am sorry that we weren't able to resolve your issue. We were prepared to do so but you've taken matters into your own hands. Let us know if you change your mind.

Eric

Eric, sounds like you and this Bob clown are two peas in a pod.

I first noticed my Sako Classic hunter edge had a crack under the bolt handle. Turns out it was split the entire length of the barrel channel. CS referred me to McMillian employee Lynn Sell. I paid to ship it to them. Manufacturing flaw. They replaced the stock with color of my choice. From the day I shipped it to them until the day I got it back took 8 weeks. CS was outstanding from get go as was I.

Eric,
Why don’t make an attempt to talk to the paying customer, and get the story about the stocks. I will tell you how it was handled. And why should I have to send a stock back to McMillan THREE times? The stock will be fixed the first time by my gunsmith.

My number is on file at McMillan if you want to chat.

Just found out that they dont make the Sako 75 stocks any longer.


They should really REALLY update the website to show what they make.
What they inlet, and what they make but dont inlet.

The McHale stock disappeared from McMillans website months ago.. and now I find out they still make it?
While stocks they dont make any longer... are still on their website.

Used, they can be a bargain.

Last two I bought I found used here on the classifieds after placing an order. Simple to cancel the order and save $3-400 dollars.

There’s probably room for one more screw up to be tagged onto the end of this debacle. I ordered a HTG with 700 ADL inletting and it arrived with a big gaping BDL hole in the bottom of it. Pretty frustrating to say the least.

Was that all that was wrong. Curious about any other items not being what you specked. Color, LOP, inletting, etc

Was that all that was wrong? Wha, what?

Got my McMillan edge model 70 short action in this week brown with a red pad.

They told me it would take 4 months it only took 3. So they lied!! 😂

Paint and pad is perfect came in at 25.2 oz. went over it with a fine tooth comb and everything seems to be great. They inletted for my bottom metal custom when i sent it in and it was returned with the stock. Being really picky only thing I could find is left side of barrel channel is a little tight but that is an easy fix when I bed it.

I must be getting lucky my 4th or 5th and no issues and exactly what I wanted.

Will mcmillan still refinish/paint old stocks? I have a Remington/ KS stock I'd like repainted.

Yeah, my thought too.

You know, all the guys that had good luck, that's great but when they screw up a stock up more than once, it gets pretty maddening pretty quickly. Not even a complicated stock order. A long action M70 Featherweight Edge Stock inlet for the same with factory contour.

Not to mention over charging a credit card by an extra zero...like a pair of stocks that should have been $1100 but got dinged $11K. Nice.
