Manners Composite Stocks Estimated Lead Times

P&Y · Aug 9, 2024

I posted my poor experience with Manners here awhile back for other members to consider. I had chocked it up to a loss but Tom and Rob reached out to make it right and persuaded me to give them another go. Tom was gracious enough to give me his direct number to ensure my stock shipped free as I had paided to return my last one that did not come as advertised.

I left several messages and was ghosted. As they say "fool me once!" I re-affirm my warning members should think twice before dealing with this company even if your willing to wait a year. You could literally not give me a Manners stock.

You ain't the only one they've screwed.

Still no news on the first Nightstalkers? 6.5 months in and just wondering how they’re coming.

R_A_W · Aug 20, 2024

First run was beginning assembly about a month ago, needed some components. I don't have any other info, but I'd guess they're shipping very soon

Magsz18 · Aug 23, 2024

The Battalion has NS stocks in stock ready to ship.

Short action at this time.

I hope this means mine is coming soon!

Hennig · Aug 23, 2024

I saw Altus post about getting theirs too.

pinkhair · Aug 24, 2024

Altus will let you pre-order a NS that they'll be getting in a week or two if you call and ask them just FYI.

PRS-TCS ordered 1/8/24. Just received email that it was done.

I personally had an amazing experience with Manners. I ordered a Pro Hunter on 3/15/24 and received it 8/12/24. Tom even text me and sent pictures to make sure the paint was to my liking. Let me also iterate that I am a nobody in the hunting/tactical space. Just a normal customer. 5 month build time and the only reason it was that long is because I ordered it with one of the new Micro Chassis and those were on back order (from Badger Ordnance I believe).

That being said, I think some models are being pushed out faster than others just due to the resources they are putting into the higher demand models, and the Pro Hunter is one of those models. I couldn’t be happier with my dealings with Manners and Tom specifically. And the stock itself is incredible. It fit my Bat TR action and Badger M5 dbm absolutely perfectly. Doesn’t get much better IMO.

Tom and team are top notch. As much as it perturbed me to wait in my stocks, it was

worth the wait and I’m gonna order another.

Just got y TCS today. Ordered Feb 12th. Well worth the wait! Stock is amazing and got it in the black and blue matte finish. The only beef I have is the adjustable knob for the cheek rest. When I replace the allen bolt with the knob, the knob pretty much bottoms out and I can't give enough leverage to tighten the cheek rest. Anyone else having this issue?

I have the same problem. I have to crank it down ridiculously hard.

Try posting in this thread and someone will probably have an answer/solution:

Hey @RobertB , any word on the release of the steel “max rail” for the TCS? I bought the front stabilizer thingy and a couple/few sets of the new square weights ~2 months ago and they’ve been sitting on my bench while I wait for the max rail to get released so I can put them to use (under the...

Yeah. I would actually need pliars to tighten it enouth to get the righ tension. Been looking at competition images and nobody is running them on their stocks. Probably the same reason. I'm surprised they haven't remedied that.

Yeah I have a 3/16”allen wrench in my cleaning kit and another in my range bag.

It would just be nice to be able to do a quick adjust on the fly if needed. For the price of these I’m surprised it’s not easier to do so. Other than that issue, it’s a hell of a great stock!

Why? Would you be changing scopes with different height rings/mounts at the range?

You can try and take an allen and tighten and loosen the screw and work in that fixture in the stock back and forth so it may move easier for you and the thumb wheel may work better.

Should've put it in differenct context. Basically I'm getting my daughter into this sport and handing the rifle to her it would be just easier to adjust without tools. I can try that method of working in the fixture. Good idea.

if you are shooting positional sometimes it's advantageous to drop your cheek piece up/down as needed for proper eye relief positionally.

You mean with a sling?

Nah. Even in PRS. I've had to drop my cheekpiece a few times on a downhill slope for proper eye relief on my manners PRS-TCS and then raise it back to it's normal position afterwards. It's not optimal but it keeps me in the eyebox

Ok. Never had to touch mine once set no matter the shooting position even in a sling.

yea, i've only had to do it a handful of times, I just wish the adjustment for the knob was slightly better if they are going to "offer" that feature.

oldrifleman · Sep 26, 2024

I understand the need, but I also have exactly the same problem with the knob. Would I like use the thumb wheel, Sure, but right now I just use the t-handle Allen wrench. I can grab one and make the change almost as fast as wrestling with the knob. I also use the printed spacers from @FDMA171 to quickly reset the check rest after removing the rest.

Simonsza1 · Oct 9, 2024

Hey manners guys I’m making spacers for cheek pieces for much less then manners. Let me know if I can help.

Accessories - Manners LRH cheek piece spacers half price! Other stocks available.

Lazer cut cheek piece spacers for manners lrh. 1/8” and 1/4” available. 4 packs of any combination of sizes you want. $14 shipped. These are $22 for just a three pack from manners before shipping. Can make for other stocks also just ask.

Harman117 · Oct 22, 2024

Anyone have a recent experience with a Flat Top (no inlet) stock? Website FAQ states 6-8 week lead time, which seems a little too good to be true

f2504x4 · Oct 22, 2024

T5A Elite Tac Americana Gloss

Ordered 2/29/24 - Invoiced 9/23/24

Had to request "Heavy Paint" couple of times until it was noted on the order itself. Was nervous opening up the box but it was exactly what I wanted.

trob · Nov 14, 2024

When will the new tikka stock from manners be dropping? At Shot, or before?

evilsvt · Nov 14, 2024

Preordered a RH and LH NS from the battalion. Received the right hand one 6 weeks ago and still waiting on the LH. Keep getting the Manners “2 weeks”. 3 weeks ago was told that it was for sure going to be no longer than 3 weeks. Here we are and just got told another 2-3 weeks.

If it’s going to be 8 weeks, tell me 8 weeks.

Cbum · Nov 14, 2024

The Battalion just shipped my Back in Black NS, pics in a few days gentlemen

I was told it’s a new model that blends some of features I wanted in the higher end stocks. Hunting oriented. I don’t know a model name or anything about what’s going to be offered on it.

When i said what i really wanted, was the pro hunter or LRH…..thats what i was told. So im guessing some of those features, but they didn’t elaborate.

XTREM HTR16 · Nov 20, 2024

May be a pro hunter with a negative comb like the new McMillan or Rokstok. Seems to be all the rage

Almost the exact same experience. Had an issue, reached out to Mr Manners here thru PM. He called me personally and addressed the issue and offered to make a few changes to my order for me. Also offered to get my stock to me faster than expected but I wasn't in a rush so he said to text when I was ready and he would make it happen. Well, I was ready after a few months and got ghosted. Bought a Foundation in the meantime. Got an email that my TCS was ready a week or two ago - looked over the invoice and it was the wrong color. Which was one of the changes I was told was being made by Mr Manners for me. He also was going to make some of the hardware in aluminum to lighten it up. Neither ever happened.
The only credit I can give them at this point is that they offered to let me use the wrong color while waiting another 8 weeks for the correct color to be completed, no mention of the lightened hardware. After this entire experience I have politely passed on the order completely.
I will possibly buy a Manners eventually but only from a stocking dealer when it's actually in stock. This entire experience dealing with them directly has been far less than stellar.

Hennig · Nov 22, 2024

I finally gave in and sent an inquiry regarding my Nightstalker order. Ordered 3rd Feb, ETA is end December. Damn!

JGRJR · Nov 23, 2024

I just bought a Nightstalker in the ready to ship section on the Manners website. There is an all black one still available.

Hennig · Nov 23, 2024

I don’t know whether the high gloss makes CF is the holdup, but I’ve come this far may as well get what I wanted

03CR · Nov 23, 2024

Does Manners typically have a Black Friday sale?

Spencer95 · Dec 6, 2024

Here’s my timeline:

Ordered an LRH mini chassis, no camo just clear coat on CF.

Order approved: 8/14
Emailed for invoice: 12/4
Shipping label emailed: 12/6 with an estimated delivery date of 12/10

Sorry you had a bad experience, I have had numerous great experiences with manners and Tom in particular. Always went above and beyond!
