Do any of you know what the wait time is on a manners t2a or t4a I am wanting to order one and am trying to figure out when I need to order. I have found old threads that said anywhere from 4-20 weeks?
 
Re: Manners build time

I ordered a MCS-T around 12/06/11 and got it on 03/22/12. I know thats not the type of stock you are asking about but it will give you a good idea on the wait time.

Dam! I wonder why it takes so long? Sounds like they need to hire some more help and expand. I did read that they started a second shift. I am going to order one myself. i guess i better get it done. Lee

Its the old quality vs quantity concept. In a lot of business situations, when small, highly technical companies expand, the cohesion that made them great is lost, and so goes the quality.

Therefore, its sometimes wise to have long lead times and still guarantee the highest of quality.
 
Re: Manners build time

Just order a suppressor at the same time. That will make the wait seem shorter for the manners.

Since Manners won't charge you until the stock is ready, you can replenish the funds you robbed from Peter for the suppressor. There! Problem solved.
 
Re: Manners build time

I am at 12 weeks on one, 8 on another, and 4 on my last one. All three times they quoted minimum of 16 weeks. I would bet they are over 8000 on build numbers by now.
 
Re: Manners build time

I just received my Manners t4a stock on Friday. I placed the order on August 26th 2011. A total of approximately 7 months. However, there was a problem with the inlet machine for the savage so I had to send it back when i first got it at the very end of February. So if it wasn't for that mistake it would be about 6 months. But I was quoted 16 weeks. A bit longer than I had expected but the stock is just amazing. I will definitely buy more when I have more money and rifles.

Oh and I do believe Manners went through a move to expand their company, and they also discontinued custom paint jobs I think to further improve their lead times.
 
Re: Manners build time

Did any of you that went past 16 weeks, order molded colors? I ordered molded camo and I wonder if it will be longer.

Yes I had molded in OD Green.
 
Re: Manners build time

Matt said 16 weeks when I talked to him last week. I just sent the email confirming my order.

I got:
MCS-T4
Standard Shell
Savage Short 4.4"
CDI Detach Mag System
Factory Heavy Barrel Inlet
Adj. Butt Spacer System
Flush Cup Right Side-2ea
Flush Cup Left Side-2ea
Sling Stud BTM Front
OD Green Painted Finish

Should be awesome.

Best,
Justin
