What were the problems?
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.
Why even post about it then, until you hear from them? I agree with your sentiment, but I don’t agree with you posting about issues with no details and just saying their CS is great. I agree with your assertion QC shouldn’t let egregious flaws out the door. I’m holding off on orders from Manners right now because of the sheer volume of posts I’ve seen in the last 6-12 months, almost the exact same as yours. A few had actual details, but almost all were about stocks with obvious flaws (the posts I’ve seen have been related to inletting and hardware issues, primarily) going out the door.I'm going to keep that under my hat for now, because I believe Manners will take care of it. I suspect if I were to update the thread it'd only be to sing Manners' CS praises...
That said, most of the things that are wrong are hardware-based and could/should have been caught at final assembly before it shipped out (that's also what makes it kind of annoying too).
The finish stuff that I need to ask them about is really only an issue because I already have another TCS to compare it to... and in a way, it's their fault, because if they hadn't made my first one so damn nice, I might not have noticed the difference lol.

Have you gotten a resolution to this?Well, honestly, you're probably right, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned anything about the stock not being right without going into detail. And, in hindsight, the thread is supposed to be about lead times, but, with the issues that still need to be addressed on mine, and with my stock having to go back to be corrected, my lead time isn't actually over yet... so, sorry again.
I was not aware that there has been any increase in Manners getting negative feedback, but sadly, as much as I like their stocks, based on my experience, I'm not too surprised. Their record is 2 for 2 with me (which isn't good) in that the first TCS that I bought "off the rack" from GA Precision needed to go back to have some flaws corrected, and now the one I custom ordered ~8 months ago has to go back to be made right too.
With my first stock, the turnaround was only a week or so in order for them to get it squared away and get it back to me (pretty fast), which is why I'm trying to refrain from putting them on blast just yet (because I'm confident they'll come through again). But yeah, the fact that 2 out 2 of their stocks in my case have had issues that should've been caught and dealt with before they went out into the world has indeed pissed me off a bit to where, while I'm not willing to go into details just yet, it did bring me to mention it and put it out there...
Have you gotten a resolution to this?
I suppose one way to look at it is at least you had yours in.
I sent an order in same day as you (07/06/2021) for a TCS and when I called at the very end of February I was told they hadn't inletted my order yet, nothing really to say and to call back IF I hadn't heard from them end of March.
Now I also see that Sportsman's Finest has posted up a thread today saying they got a shipment of 20(?) TCSs in and I guess I shouldn't be holding my breath. I'm starting to reconsider whether I should be looking at in-stock Foundation stocks.
I have had the same experience. Tom is solid.Tom is a hell of a good dude. I bought a stock from a 3rd party that was incorrect. Tom took care of me even calling and texting from his personal cell. This was all during shot. Super good dude?
I’m in the same boat.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 hear that. I broke down and bought another TCS that somebody must not have paid for. I pray that I will be able to afford the other one when it is finishedMy TCS was ordered in May and was told January but got told today they are waiting for the cheek piece hardware to finish so supply line interruptions are happening in all fields now. Would I like it today? Sure but nothing can be done so just have to wait. I know it will be well worth the wait but I know the wait sucks too so I empathize.
That thing is bad ass! Is that the badger enhanced bottom metal? If so what are you feelings about it so far? I have a lrh on order and was considering that BM. Thanks, looks great
I’d love to. I’m considering a prs1tk in solid odgWould you want to see solid OD Green?
I’m glad I ordered a LRH in artic before they discontinued them. It goes great with my bartlien white CF barrel.I was told arctic camo was d/c'd due to sourcing the white carbon. Such an awesome finish to lose, anyone else want to see them bring that back?
I’m glad I ordered a LRH in artic before they discontinued them. It goes great with my bartlien white CF barrel.
I ordered it on the first day they started taking orders (April’ish of 21) and didn’t receive it till December of 21
THAT is badass. Nice rifle!!I’m glad I ordered a LRH in artic before they discontinued them. It goes great with my bartlien white CF barrel.

These wait times are insane... Ordered close to 10 months ago and have received multiple McMillans in the same time. Was called four months ago and told it was about 2 weeks out, so I paid and settled up and here we are four months later. Pretty crummy.Ordered 7/14/21 - received PRS TCS today.View attachment 7860339
Yeah that less than 6 month wait really does sound rough .This is in no way shape or form a bash on manners as they have always done me right.
Ordered date: 1 Jan 22
Received date: 4 June 22
Email to manners telling them they messed up: 4 June
Response from manners: 6 June
Mailed back to manners: 6 June
I guess the 6 months wait starts again!!!
Stock is a LRH in high plains camo. Yes I know they have them in stock, but I ordered mine with 95% paint as I hate black stocks. Open it up just to find that my stock is 60% black!!!
Emailed manners and received a fast response. I decided to call them. My options are send it in (I HAD TO PAY SHIPPING) and they can paint it or WAIT HOWEVER LONG for them to remake it because the paint is molded in the stock. In the past I have called them a couple times before to see if I can just order one from the website and add paint the answer was always a solid NO!!!! So I guess when they mess up an order they can just add paint .
So now that they have given me a choice of paint or wait I decided to take their advice and NOT to add paint and have a new stock made the way I ordered it. I just hope that they put my order well “REORDER” in front of the line.
I have 3 more stocks on order with 95% paint. Hopefully they get them right.
Please Manners do me right and put this remake to the front of the line.

Wait so it's not 50 Shades of Gray he needs?The wait times are just subjective to customers. It's just different shades of black.....
Manners does not make a lefty LRH.Has anyone ever seen a lefty LRH in stock on the Manners website or at Altus, etc? Thinking I should go ahead and order one but sure as I do a unicorn LH LRH will magically appear in stock somewhere.
Well considering I could go on the website and buy the Exact same LRH that I received (not what I ordered) now and it will be at my door step by Friday yes the wait time sucks . BUT to now have to do the 6 month wait time twice for the same stock because someone didn’t read the order correctly yes the wait time now is really rough.Yeah that less than 6 month wait really does sound rough .
I'm now at 11 months on an order. I bought another same model stock out of pocket off the store website in the interim and I wasn't allowed to use the PRS discount even though I'm a member. I understand your frustration. I really do.Well considering I could go on the website and buy the Exact same LRH that I received (not what I ordered) now and it will be at my door step by Friday yes the wait time sucks .

But knowing Manners there’s not a doubt in my mind that they will take care of it.
