Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Fellow wants it..common .30--06

The Mcmillan stocks new are about $600. Used I've paid $350-$400. So, the "plastic" is worth something. Most times about what an original (wood stock) is worth.

Well said. The days of just giving away a McM are over.

They only inlet for the Model 70 Supergrade, everything else is flat top. Just got off the phone with them.l

What's a McMillan?

Some of these guys scoff at a good stock and don't realize their value. You and I are still young enough we use them. I get the idea that a lot of these guys just sit their rifles in the back of the safe and they never get used. That's their prerogative, just as it is ours to actually use them. That's why most of them turn their noses up to the rifle I recently bought that had a Mcmillan. I paid $900 for that rifle and then sold the scope and rings and bases that were on it for $575. Now I'm into the rifle for about $325.00... That rifle is still worth a grand with the Mcmillan. Battue probably thought some of us were going to say his rifle wasn't worth anything with that stock, but some of us know better...

Call them back and tell them they need to inlet the trigger guard better. I'm getting tired of fixing their fu ck up!!! You can see on Battue's rifle that his isn't right either. That's my main gripe with mcmillan..

They can;'t help me with any stock they offer. Will look elsewhere.

Which stock do you want?

Winchester Hunter.

Can you order a flat top and have a smith inlet?

Let me be clear. I know the value of synthetic stocks in monetary and field use. The fact that I called it plastic should let everyone know that I am not a fan and not swayable. Carbon fiber is very strong and expensive, but it is also synthetic.

I like nice blued or stainless steel and quality wood stocked guns. I get so sick of looking at flat black and plastic guns. They are all that is on the "new" gun shelves in the shops and also in the magazine articles.

Absolutely but I have gotten quotes on that stuff. Its not worth it .

This was my third McMillan purchase...I know what they are worth. However, lately it seems they are not as popular as previously. The common reference was to the Pre64 caliber....

Flat top?

A stock that is fully formed but needs to be inletted fully for your gun.

Thanks

No problem PJ. I’ve been doing it that way for a few years. Weaver does a great job fitting them.

What is he charging for something like that?

I can’t remember. I think 250 for the whole job but he’d be the man to ask.

I asked him about an inletting job on an AG composite for my 6 lug mk V and it was over 1k
