Let's hope the new owners see the need for some new machinery. Otherwise lead times are going to keep inching up until they are a year out.
The only other way to slow lead times is by raising prices to decrease demand, or to get a bad rep which also decreases demand. New machinery to solve some back log issues should sweeten the Pro Forma, which is what a prospective buyer looks at. I'm sure it made dollars and sense to add a CNC machine. Buyers look at production, the cost of sales and how the bottom line is impacted. A CNC machine can be cost prorated over time, creates depreciation and boosts output. Expensive tooling may have been something McM couldn't have or wouldn't have done without a take out on the table. Major investments are a positive sign that a serious owner intends to make a return on investment. Hopefully, this deal will be a tripple win for buyer, seller and us. Hopefully...  DF

What do I do, what do I do? Order right away to lock in the price? Wait and see if quality drops off? Order one of the two I need off the specials even though it's not exactly the way I want it but could make it work...? When in doubt, always buy. Travis

I like the way you all think and keep it up. Next McMillan in 12 weeks sounds good. I hope you're right. Just don't want to see another Marlin fiasco. I sent an e-mail and told them not to do that. So we're all good. LMAO, It's always refreshing to see someone with initiative. I like the you roll buddy............  Travis

Glad you're on top of stuff around here! I cringe when I start to think about what pre-14 stocks on pre-64 s will start to fetch............

Been trying to get you folks to start running laminates. In our fireplaces? That's the only place you will find a laminate at my house.

Laminate wood is for floors, or beating a cat to death. Not rifles.

It's alright... I've got a blue/grey in the same funky pattern on a 10/22. It's a comfortable stock and fairly light.
