What's the color on the second from the left stock?

Woodland Carbon. It is one of the +$55 stocks
My list is still active
We have 65 stocks currently, do I hear 70?????

Now that pics are out anyone care to guess how many the group buy will get to? I'll say 75. $325.00 x 65 = $21125.00 That's a serious chunk of change for McMillan.

Should have 12 more in the later part of next week....I don't know the #'s yet or who they belong to.
Probably won't know that till they arrive.
I am impressed by the speed of the finished products as that will make 17 stocks in less than 3 months.
I did pay up front in full to get them started ASAP.
I plan to keep the list open/going at least until we reach the end of the list.

The second from the top in the middle looks like it will be headed to AZ,

I hope that when everyone receives their stock they post a pic with color and percent. That way when Ernie runs his group buy for rear grips everyone will have a better idea what color combinations look like. I just took a stab in the dark, hope it looks OK.

I am in the same boat as you Iowa Fox.
McMillan has a bunch of pictures that show color combinations. I think page gave a good idea of what a certain percentage of fill looked like, but with changing colors I still don't really "know" how my stocks will turn out.

I will make sure to post mine (or start a thread if one doesn't exist) when they arrive.

And again I want to thank Ernie for pulling this together. There are so many options the thought of ordering a stock myself was a bit daunting, and was holding me back.

What color percentage is the 4th from bottom in center row?

That is quite a sight. Lots of colors. I can't wait to see the one I ordered.


Mike

I see Cougar colors!! Woohoo. If I get them in the next few days, I could have the action set and ready for deer season opener on 8/15.....GO COUGS!!

To date, we have a total of 68 stocks-This is including the ones that have already arrived.

Ernie, My 50 / 50 Red an Black arrived yesterday. It looks awesome!
I plan on installing one of the Dell Taylor triggers I just bought. Question?
Do you need to use the "shoe" bracket from a stock XP trigger to use the Dell trigger? It appears that it is needed.
Thanks again for everything.

That is a correct assumption

Quick Question:

As a first time McMillan stock buyer ..... what all is entailed by "requires minor gunsmithing and bedding" as listed on their website.

I fully understand the bedding piece ..... but can someone elaborate on the minor gunsmithing?

I will be using a factory barrel (as of now) so barrel channel should be overly large, as expected, since these are for a Varmint taper.


Just trying to figure out what will need done so i can start tracking down a gunsmith to do the work.


Thanks,

When the gunsmith beds it that's all it really is going to need to be done

You'll also have to drill and tap the metal block for the rear guard screw unless they've started doing that.

Are you talking about the rear action screw? The stocks have a built in trigger guard.

Glenn

Yes, the rear action screw needs to be tapped on the Stocks

Yea Glenn, meant the action screw It's Friday and been a long week.

Rick

Thanks for the info.
Now I can look forward to what needs done once my stocks arrive.


Thanks,

Got mine looks way better than in the pictured

I've had guys ask me if more stocks have come in other than what I have posted pictures of, and that answer would be no.

Yes, the waiting list is still active so if you want to stock email me like I have requested and will get you in line for one.

Believe it or not we are at #72 for total to date

Only need 3 more to make 75.

Jon,
My guess is that it will go over that.
But, at the start of this, I never imagined going this high.

I'm in. E-Mail sent.

Are you going to post pictures of each shipment as they arrive to further wet the appetite of those of us waiting, or will all new stock pics need to be posted by the final owners to the existing all these mcmillans!!!! all these mcmillans!!!! thread?

Thanks again for organizing the group buy.


Thanks,
Freeze

I picked up a couple for customers.....save some shipping when the guns built at bcg.

So far I have received 19 of the 70+ McMillan XP-100 stocks that are on the waiting list. McMillan has been very quick to get this many stocks out to us so quickly. I appreciate Kelly McMillan and Eileen's help in all of this. They have been a joy to work with. When I contact you, please be ready to pay for your stock(s).

As of today we have 76 stocks (Counting the ones that have already come in).
I think 80 will be a possibility

Ernie,

Do you think we're back on the original 5-6 month wait period? I know we received several stocks quicker than expected but they seem to have slowed down some since then. I know they'll be done when there done but it's like a little kid (or big kid)waiting on Xmas.

Also if a person wants to send you the funds ahead of time so you have it when the stock does come in is that ok?

Thanks again for putting this all together.

Rick

I don't really know on the time frame.

I make it a point not to bug Eileen (She is a good soul).

I really don't want money up front (I don't like holding peoples money, when I don't have the product here), but I would rather be paid ahead of time versus you not having the money when it comes in.

Wow! This group buy has exceeded my expectations. While 80 stocks may sound like a lot to us its still a small order for McMillan, more of a favor to us and Ernie. When I ordered mine I took the money and sat it on the self in the safe so that when Ernie emails I'm all set to get a M O in the mail to him. Ernie thanks for running with this one and guys thanks to everyone for making this group buy a success.

With this many stocks on order I can see a hunt for XPs to cannibalize. I have been looking myself. I bought what I thought was going to be an action but what I got was a as new in the box wood stocked complete XP. Guess I'll keep snooping around.

Jon

Ernie, sent you email.
Jon

Email sent as well. Thanks for putting this together!

Ernie, in the pic of the 12 stocks, what is the color on the lower one on the left? Still taking orders?

Dennis

Just checking in to see if there is any update on stock shipment? My first looks awesome! Can't wait to see what number's two and three look like. Thanks again Ernie for over seeing all of this.

No word from Leupold lately.
Yes, I am still taking orders.

Oh my!
I had just sent an email to Leupold, and I guess I had them on the brain. So let me rephrase that please, I have not communicated or heard anything from Mc Millan Stocks either.

Now at 79, with 2 more possibly being added to the list soon

Did those come in today?
Derek

Yes

Ernie,

The pic is kind of small.
I think the top is just black.
And the bottom is another coyote ambush (I think).

Could you tell us what the center 2 are? (I think I know one of them)

Also please correct me if I am wrong g on the other 2.

I edited the the post with 4 stocks and listed their colors too

Should get one more in this week

Ernie: What are the order dates on the stocks that are coming in? Is McMillan still running about 5-6 months for production? Thanks.

I did not put the order dates on my sheet, just the actual order number.
One would have to look at when I emailed them back confirming they were on the wait list to know that date.
The black stock that came in recently was like #43. Big jump ahead.

We have gone through #21 of the stocks with the exception of #3, and then a few #'s that are more than 21. Eileen told me that they may not comes in the same order as they were numbered to begin with for a variety of reasons.

To add to what Ernie said ....

I was confirmed for my order of 2 stocks on 5/18.
I received the first late last week, and I believe my second is in the last picture posted.


-Freeze

It is

Thanks guys. About 5-6 months isn't bad at all for a McMillan, particularly one of their less-common offerings. I've waited that long for their other stocks many times.

Sonoran Carbon Ambush
You can see the Carbon Fiber, if you look for it.

Those are some good looking stocks. Freeze, that is good to hear. I received my confirmation on 5-22-17 from Ernie. I might be getting close. Can't wait.

Mike

One thing to remember, McMillan only has one mold.
When we kicked this off, there was a good number that got on the list at about the same time...

Man I need to quit looking at that woodland carbon and sonoran carbon ambush stocks before I order another!

Pulling on me a little bit too.

Should have more stocks here around mid-week. Just got the notification. Not sure how many. Guessing from the weight to be at least 4.
We are at 80 stocks total FWIW

Ernie,

Any idea when you plan to close the group buy?

I want to spend some time with mine first, but might want to jump back in for a 3rd stock before the group buy closes.


Thanks,
Freeze

Not any time soon.
Since we have done so many I can add singles whenever currently..
I will decide about closing it out when I am about 5-10 away from being done with the list.

Bottom: 60% Olive, 40% medium gray
50% Olive, 50% gray
50% medium green, 25% black, 25% white
Urban Carbon Ambush
Woodland Beige & light tan

I thought one of those was mine but no email so I'll continue to watch and wait.

Ernie if you save the pictures from this group buy with the color percentages, you will posses the largest sales catalog for color combinations of McMillan stocks that exists anyplace on the planet.

You can see lots of pictures in the color families but no color percentages to get there.

Thanks Freeze. I stared at the pic's in that link for hours before I ordered. They give the color families to a degree which is helpful, a color chart, but no percentages of colors which can really change the looks of them. I found a few pic's on another forum where the guys actually showed pic's of their rifle stocks and the percentage of the colors in them, that was helpful. In the end I closed my eyes, picked, and shot Ernie an order. Tom posted a pic of his with the same colors I ordered and it looked good to me. Heck, I like the looks of all of them so far. Ernie has been posting some really nice pictures, nice and close up of these stocks for us to see. Over the years there were a lot of great pictures on here of everything but that dumb photo bucket crashed them.

Ernie,

Is it still possible to be added to the list for the group buy?

I am impressed with the 2 stocks, I purchased and received, and would like to pick up a 3rd for a future build.


If the list is open just let me know and I will pass along the details via email (like the first order).


Thanks,

Still open.

Hey guys, I have this one, that someone never did pay for.
Don't ask for a name. All of us falls on hard times of different kinds.
80% Dark Brown and 20% Tan.
If you are interested let me know.

I checked today and the next shipment will come in toward the middle or third week of January. They would have likely been here a week or so earlier, but I will be out of pocket some in early January.
