Time will definitely vary with each order. JMO but what products do we not wait on in our current situation?
Pics when you get it please and thank you. That sounds like what I’m looking to order.
For those of you with carbon shell stocks, whats the color option selected for the black carbon look
The one listed that I would assume its the correct one would be Elite Tac Back to Black
Looking to confirm so i can drop the order tomorrow
Thanks

I ordered a flattop (6-8 week lead time) LRH in August hoping to have it by Antelope season at the end of October.
I still don't have it. Last I heard (a month ago) they were waiting for the mini-chassis to finish it up.
Maybe I'll be able to hunt with it next year.......

Flattop stocks are quoted at 6-8 weeks as they are already built and just need to be inletted. Full stock builds are 5-6 months.
Called to order a flat top on 8/5/21. Found out on 9/15/21 that they entered it as a custom order when I called to pay so they wouldn’t be waiting on me. After 5 calls they offered me another flat top since the one I wanted was sold and told me it would be another 8 weeks. Called at 8 weeks to check progress since it’s for a hunt I have coming up and was told that it would ship by the end of the week or Monday. Didn’t get a ship notice on Monday so I emailed on Wednesday and was told it would be done by Friday. I asked if I could pay for expedited shipping to my smith so he could bed it. They offered to ship overnight it on their dime, but didn’t receive a ship notice yet. Emailed Monday and followed up today with no response.
I called and spoke with Nicole this past week and she estimated 8 months for a MCS-LRH.
I sure like that stock for a hunting rig.....

Got a hold of Robert on 12/30…”order had been botched, didn’t have ability to redo because they are waiting on Arctic colors, sorry we should have called - but hey, we have a demo LRH in Arctic that we can send you as a replacement for the EH1 you ordered would that be ok?? “
And nothing since 12/30. No reply to follow up emails. I get they are busy, and supply chains suck, but if you can’t fulfill an order after 13+ months communicating that would be the decent thing to do.
I bet @RobertB is slammed. I know there's been multiple comps, SHOT, and the holiday break. I was working with him on an order before the holidays and haven't been able to get a hold of him since then either but I hope to hear from him after SHOT craziness is over.
On another note, to share an experience from last month, I had a stock come in with damage from Altus. Since it was going back to Manners for repair I asked for some added cups, etc to try to make a negative a positive. They had it back to me fairly quickly but I got it back with the extra work done but the actual issue wasn't fixed. I called and left a VM. Tom personally called me and had the stock to them and back to me within a week and looks perfect now. They'll make it right.
I ordered 6/1/2021 and received shipping and tracking today 1/27/2022 This is my number 6 manners I have and they have all been worth the wait.Once again they went the extra mile to fix me up as I requested extra Item be installed I sent them the parts and they installed them N/C !!! Pretty awesome company! A BIG Thank You to all of there staff.

We’re fast approaching one year wait on the TCS. They should really wish every customer a long and healthy life upon confirming an order. Wonder how big is the number of buyers not able to physically survive the wait…
…I am waiting on my third but it’s just been ordered last October….a blink of an eye ago
Which would be fine if the customers knew up front what they were in for on ordering. Stating 5-6 mo and not communicating with your customers about extending the lead times is terrible business. It leads to complaints that have legitimacy - equivalent to the Devil's fingernail under the armor of any business. There are in every case opinions galore - IMO communication with waiting customers isn't an extraordinary task; and when you fail to meet your promised deadline should be an absolute priority. I heard from them, the issues are now known, there are no hard feelings. It'll take some more time than expected, but all is well that ends well.
Not to make excuses, but Covid has been a shit show for every small business I know. From electricians, to auto-body, to Aircraft maintenance and modification. (Carbon composite lay-up isn't a spot you fill from a temp agency) Add to this government meddling and the resulting BS lock down policies (10 days to slow the spread, anyone? Buhler?) and it just means it sucks. We'd all like it to be better, but it just is the reality over the last 24 months. I can't imagine a worse-case scenario for any business owner. I'm inclined to give Tom and crew some slack.
I don't know how much it is an increase of order volume, or illness sequestered workforce. I imagine in this case it's largely due to both scenarios.
I was trading an email on a possible mod to a stock I've got and manpower limitations were mentioned. Not sure if thats covid or something else but I'm with you on giving some slack even though I really really want my stocks
No shit or anger given from my side, the TCS it’s the best chasstock on the market and well worth every penny and wait.
When GAP was building my rifle. 8-9 months of the lead time was waiting on the Manners stock. I would say it was worth it though
Does anyone know of the best way to order from Manners? I’ve been trying to get a hold of someone for a few weeks. I’ve left voicemails and emails with no response. I understand that SHOT was a couple weeks ago but I’ve tried to contact well before and after. Any help would be appreciated.

Ordered a TCS 7/6/21, I got an email it was done and ready to ship 2/22/22, settled up 2/23/22 and it showed up today 2/26/22, so just shy of 8 months, except there are some issues...
I'm not going to blow them up just yet, because Manners CS has been great in the past when I've needed it, but a $1668.00 stock shouldn't ship with any issues, let alone more than a few...
I guess I'll see what Manners says... but, the only thing worse than waiting ~8 months for a stock, is having to immediately send it back to be made right after it showed up f'ed up... and then wait some more lol.
