Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Brown precision stocks ?

I have not been able to find his website and the companies facebook has not been updated since 2020.
Have a few of his stocks and would like a fee more. Ironically I had talked to him on the phone a few days before the fire. Was asking about putting a adjustable comb in one of his stocks
Wish Mark and his company the best

My favorite stocks.

Following.

When I google Brownprecision.com they come up as a viagra store. I thought Brown sold synthetics not Wood!!!

I bought one of their stocks years ago on a Brownell's close out for something like $300, it's one of my favorites!

They have relocated to Cameron, Texas. I talked to Mark several months ago and all is well.

I honestly don't know how they stay in business with their pricing with sold alternatives from McMillan, AG and Manners.

I new a gun shop that was buying overruns from them. Mostly left handed remington 700 and just blanks with out inletting. Way less than $100.
I have a brown on my Win 70 in 338, a pounder on Ruger 77 30/06 and one on a Ruger 6mm. One that I will finish up for a Rem 722 257 roberts. It was the gun my daughter used to kill her first deer and I am doing it up for my grandson. I had a few of the overrun left handed stocks that I fit to friends remingtons even converted a few to right handed.
I love their stocks
I will give them a call to see if they are still running

A fire wiped out their shop in California and they ended up relocating to Texas and having to completely rebuild. They are very busy now but if you call them you should be able to reach Mark.

The stocks are molded differently from all the other makers mentioned above; split into an upper and lower half rather than left and right halves. The recoil lug inlet is molded into the glass, rather than being milled out of epoxy, so they can use less material overall, but it means they need different molds for every inlet. Manners and McMillan can mold a stock, glue the left and right half together, fill it, and mill it for most any action.

Brown also made a long run of stocks for the Rem custom shop in which the inletting was milled out of epoxy rather than molded--not the same as the ones they sell commercially. Those are probably the stocks that people are finding cheap.

They don't require the same fillers, so for their size the Brown stocks are quite a bit lighter than all the others except Bansner. The Brown stocks I have have are 23 ounces with paint and a 1" decelerator; they'd be around 19 ounces with a 1/2" microcell type pad.

Once in a while you'll find a Manners or McMillan that light but they tend to vary a lot more in weight; even their lighter smaller stocks tend to be around 26-30 ounces with one inch pads. If I put the same the 1" pad on it, my Manners UC would be maybe an ounce lighter than my Brown stocks are (UC is 18.5 ounces with a 1/2in ultralight microcell pad), but it's a physically smaller and narrower stock than the Browns.

I like all of them, and to me Bansner is the best bang-for-buck, but there is a reason to use Brown as well.

Thanks for the update. Years back Brown Precision was the only one that I could find that would make replacement stocks out of Kevlar. I've got two of those camo painted on a 7mm RM and 7mm-08 and I've never needed anything more. They worked pretty closely with Shilen out of Ennis, Texas for their metal work, so relocating to Texas sure seems logical.

im not sure if I misread but according to his site the action area is made out of epoxy which has been my experience. The site does say that some inlets are molded in. As to the how the mold lays possibly things have changed but the ones I have finished were all left right halve with the parting line down the middle. Not that it makes much difference. In my business I made literally thousands of molds and seems the logical way to lay the mold. Either way he makes a good product that has served me well

I have three rifles made by Mark, all three shoot really great.

I wonder if they (Brown Precision) still inlet a stock for the Rem 600/660?

They also made a very short run for Winchester (original winlite). This per Mark; he couldn’t recall exactly how many (a thousand?) but said that relationship ended with the USRAC bankruptcy reorganization (Jan 16 1986) and then Winchester switched to McMillan. I’ve seen a few; they are all in the non schnabel style.
Edit - added some pics

I used two of their stock blanks and did the bedding and painting and recoil pad myself, one is on my sako 375 H&H and the other is my Remington 700 ADL in 25/06, very easy to finish the blanks.

I have a M700 KS 338 win mag with a Brown stock and it love it. Fits me perfectly.

Love his stocks but the price is completely out of hand for a hunting rifle. powdr

Sir, do you happen to know the weight of the new Bansners, short action? TIA.

Not exactly what you're asking but my Bansner I bought this past winter in M700 L/A ADL weighed 22.1 ozs.

Thank you.
