Has anyone dealt with one of these stocks. I was looking at their MCS Gat and was wondering if anyone had any opinions on them.

Totally impressive. Tom Manners is a very good guy to deal with. You cannot go wrong. I met Tom a while back, he is into making the best stock possible. Seen lots of his stocks, they are shooters.

I have one of his stocks ready to ship to Shawn Carlock to build my 338 Edge.I called Tom and placed an order for it,and it arrived about 3 weeks later.He's a great guy to deal with,and he makes a great stock you wont have to wait 5+ months to get.

Sounds good. I'll have to look into them for a new build

Do a SEARCH, Kirby did a nice write-up a while back. He has hunted with his.

Hello All,

I tried emailing Tom Manners with a couple of questions at the beginning of the month, but had no reply. No doubt he's busy.

Can anyone enlighten me on the MCS-GAT's fore-end shape. His website says 'beavertail' (which makes me visualise a fat McMillan A5 beavertail shape..(which I don't like!)), Kirby's post gives me the impression that the fore-end is actually quite narrow (which would be more to my personal preference...I would prefer a flat sided fore-end), but it's hard to tell from the pics.

Anyone able to provide the definitive answer...or some fore-end photos?

Thanks!

Matt
