An extra 2-3 months was added to my build and should have been ready in Dec. Every week I would shoot an email or call and I would either get ignored or told next week. I can forward you the email chainz. Phone calls as well.

Hi sleepz, I just shot you a pm, pm me back your build number and contact info, I’ll track down your stock and get you taken care of ASAP. Thank you
Hi powder burnz, it depends on specs, quoted estimated times are 4 to 6 months now. If it is basic inlet it should run on the shorter side. Pm what you are looking for, I can see if we have any flat tops coming thru that might work for you. Thank you
It’s a prs-1 TL3 left handed, inlet for a hawkhill marksmen barrel which is in between a medium and heavy Palma. With the mini chassis.
Had the same experience recently. Everyone who answers is always polite and accomodating, but they need to get a better handle on lead times. And to make matters worse mine showed up with large chips in it. My first and last Manners.
It’s the elite swamp color, I wanted the black Forrest but considering they had the stock I wanted ready to ship just not the color I can settle for the color. That’s the colors they offer.

I ordered mine 12/7 and last time I asked I was told May/June. Did they get that many orders in 2 weeks? I ordered a T2A-GAP.
That’s rediculously fast. I confirmed mine (T4A Elite) on 12/11, wasn’t really expecting any correspondence before the end of March. Maybe you were on the right side of a batch.
I spoke with manners at shot show and it sounded like they were slammed. I think they are having some growing pain. I am a smith in NW Montana, I tried to get a quantity discount and the number of stocks i needed to order to get a discount was crazy. But...I understand, they are great stocks and it’s hard to find good employees these days. Wait time is normally 6-9 months isn’t it?
No update on my left hand PRS1TK in artic camo - was supposed to have left Manners last month and should be in Australia this month but I haven't got an update from the Australian importer who apparently haven't heard anything from Manners.
Yes, to an extent. The shooting market here is vastly different to what you have available at your doorstep. We can get good gear (as far as bolt action rifles are concerned). For items such as Manners stocks, MPA, Cadex - anything high end, we don't typically have these types of items on shelves, they're all individual custom orders with very limited businesses here who are set up to do the import. The waiting game is probably not so different, but you don't have the option of walking into a store and handling a particular stock to determine if you like it - i bought the Manners because I trust the name based on what I read on here - I had previously ordered a konohawk (custom import) and wasted $1300 as it was not properly inletted and required extensive gunsmithing work - only to determine it couldn't be worked on due to the material it was made out of (it seems the company has since gone bust). The Manners PRST1TK only became available after my debacle with the Konohawk, so here I am $2300 later trying to get my hands on some much needed joy.
Hi kwilson, I just sent you a pm, ping me back your details on your order and importer info. I will see what is going on and get right back to you. Thank you

Hi, weusally build the back tang up on howa orders, pm me contact I’ll give you a buzz. Thank you
I ordered a lefty T4 with a mini chassis early November. I got my email also. It's a good week to be a lefty.
Same here. Great customer service from tmanners. Got both stocks this week and they are perfect. I dropped the EH1 off to my smith and he said that stock is gonna make him convert from being a McMillan guy. Lol
Got UPS tracking number email today 3/5/19
Shows to be delivered Thursday
Oh hell yeah. Got it today. This thing is sweet.
They have ready-to-ship and flattops available in their online store.
I ordered this one in October of last year. Almost exactly five months from my approval to when they email and said it was ready to ship in 2-4 weeks. I paid on The Friday of that week and they shipped on the following Monday.
It was worth the wait to me to get exactly what I wanted.
Most all models are running 6 months at this time. Folders, F-Class, and LRT stocks run longer.
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi Tom,
Are you able to confirm if my stock has left the US for Australia? The Australian importer cant give me a straight answer at the moment.
I want to give a shout out to Tom for helping me resolve issue with two stocks I ordered. Stocks had some minor problems which isn't unusual for a handmade product and Tom took care of fixing them personally, sending pictures to verify that I'm happy with the result, and took care shipping both ways. Outstanding customer service.
I ordered this one on 8-29 and i received it today, once again manners knocked it out the park! Well worth the wait and I could have received it sooner but added some extra work to the stock so that was on me

This is a EH1-A
Which for the Tikka it requires them to build the rear tang up and not compatible with the mini-chassis
Ordered a LH prs2 today, now my wait starts
Be prepared to wait a long time...ordered mine last July, was told in January it was finished, received a message from Tom in February saying he had it in his hands, since then...nothing - no update, no tracking number, no stock...I'm at the point where I'm going to get my money back.
