Have one going to get another soon. Great quality stock. Love the carbon camo colors.
We have one in the shop right now. They’re light and seem well built but they aren’t a manners imo. I guess it is all personal preference though.
the AGs typically sit right around 2 lbs where as a manners w mini chassis is going to be right around 3. Manners are stiffer in the fore end.

Nice setup! In pictures they look good, I'm just one of the types that hesitate pulling the trigger on buying stuff until I have hands on lol
8 weeks for an AG, 6 frigging months for a Manners.....
The wait sucks..no doubt. But we're also talking about two pretty different end products in my opinion.
If you are comparing apples to apples, the differences are not very stark..... Sure, you start adding mini-chassis, adjustable cheeks and such, they're big. But the comparable basic stocks are really pretty close. And the AG's come already pillared....
Sure. Can’t argue there. And I probably haven’t had enough time behind manners basic stocks to compare them to the AG in that aspect.
I'd look at jcs composites. 3 weeks and I had it. Very nice fit and finish. I had heavy fill added and my rifle weighs in around 13lbs
I'll let you know when I get mine. I was told it should ship on 3April. That puts it around the 10 week mark I think. 8 week is the minimum ETA. I placed my order after Shot Show, so they may have gotten some more orders after Shot.
Love mine. Awesome quality. I haven't bedded mine yet, but I still shoot sub 1/2 Moa. Mine holds a 7 short mag.
That was gonna be the one I wanted but jcs composites was gonna be quicker and a great guy to talk to
Odd. Mine came the way I wanted. Heavy fill, pic rail instead of stud, adjustable comb, origin inlet and they even opened it up more for my barrel. I did have to wait because of Hawkins dbm was delayed
Here is the sandstorm privateer I stuffed the RimX in.....
I kńow your asking about bolt action AG Composite stocks, but I have one of the M14 Classic AG composite stocks and carbon fiber Handguard on my M14 Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. A number of folks including me provided a lot of input when they were developing the M14 version. The stocks were excellent and high quality, but the market was not big enough so they eventually pulled out of that nitche market. You also have a lot of variation in commercial M14 receivers so fit was a bit of an issue.
I think AG makes an excellent product.

I received mine a couple weeks ago. It was very nice quality from my quick look over. It was unpackaged for maybe 20 mins before I packed it back up with all my other parts to send off to GAP for assembly. If you want a better review, I can let you know in October when my rifle is estimated to be complete. I feel like you have enough people saying they're top notch already.
I just received mine a few weeks ago, very nice quality. I had a small issue with bottom metal fitment but it was my fault not on them.
I ordered bottom metal that was a M5 footprint but not BO. Given slight variation in manufacturer specs it obviously was not a perfect fit. After a few calls their production manager Matt had me return it to them and they took care of me. The fit is excellent and I would certainly use them again. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get a lightweight carbon fiber stock with short turnaround.

I’m glad to see all of this positive feedback. I met these guys at shot and I think I’m actually going to go through with ordering a stock from them. Adjustable Hunter here I come!!
I've heard really good things about their stocks and some friends of friends have them. I have a rifle being built and the smith uses their stocks. I emailed AG and then called with some questions on their options. They were very helpful and willing to talk about the various stocks and their uses/benefits. They also confirmed to me lead times for custom color orders. I had thought they were slowed, and even (falsely) heard secondhand they were closed down, by COVID-19 but an email reply from them this week confirmed they were still working. I think you'll like what you get from them, I'm pretty confident in my order.
Finally got my rifle and the AG Stock is awesome. Great fit and feel to it. Very light. I'm a sucker for bling sometimes so i went with a Zombie green stock. Will post pics later.
If a guy did want to bed an AG stock would he have to remove some material first or would the bedding epoxy be thin enough to just bed onto what is there? (I am assuming that inlet to action fit is pretty good)

buyer beware order a alpine hunter stock for a kelby atlas action with an upgraded paint job bolt handle cut out was for 700 action to big for kelby my gun smith had to fill in whole an repaint entire stock a dab green which looks great but not what i really wanted the reply was it was kelbys specs they did offer to take a hundred off my next build at that time they said another customer had same problem
Not trying to give you too much crap, but periods and capitalization, man. Periods. And capitalization.
It really helps communication.
Imagine a dude taking to you for 30secs without taking a breath.
Where's he taking me and can I be back in a minute tops, do I have to hold my breath?
dont know where your going with this when you order your stock you pick action barrel contour an bottom metal an stock is made according to your specs mark penrod a well known name in the custom gun industry has built me 8 custom guns an settles for nothing less then perfect on every build this bolt handle was not even close so he did what he had to do except i didnt the stock color i wanted becauce he had to paint whole stock after filling bolt handle and voided my warranty thats it
If you wrote the order to them in the same manner you wrote your 2 posts today, your order was fucked before it got started.

Respectfully Mr. Stern, nobody is trying to run you away from this forum.
If you indeed are a self-made millionaire, you must have the work ethic to at least TRY to get through whatever you attempt. One would also have to believe that you have decent or even better than average communication skills unless you made your millions pimping hoes and slinging caine.
This forum is 90% based on communicating by writing words and reading words. The other 10% is photographs and dark humor memes.
The 90% part means that participants (including you) have to at least TRY.
You don't seem to even try. So we have to assume you don't want to be here at all or you don't give enough shits to make your point in a way that others can interact with you. You don't have to have perfect spelling and grammar, but at least pretend to try!
Mr. Stern, remember that you are participating on the internet.
You have no clue how old I am nor any of the other cretins that show up here.
If you want to leave then haul your ass, but don't get butthurt if other grown ass men call you out for being unnecessarily difficult to communicate with.
Send me a private message with your mailing address. I will send you a box of periods and a handful of extra SPACE bars for your keyboard.
^^^^ this is a joke FFS ^^^^
Learn to have some fun and take some light hearted shit while here.
SH is a mecca of knowledge, info, jokes and dark humor not easily found elsewhere so stick around, put any ego on the shelf for a minute, and enjoy the site.
Mr. F.V. Stern seems like he uses text-to-speech on his phone. And doesn’t realize he can say “period” at the end of a sentence and a period will magically appear…along with a capitalized letter starting the next sentence.
One can also say “comma”, “colon”, “dash”, “new line” (for what used to be called a carriage return), “question mark” etc etc.
