I read somewhere(?) that it is possible to buy a McMillan stock "uninletted" then mill in the inletting. Anyone care to elaborate? I have a Kimber model 89 with a featherweight barrel and I sure would like it fit to a MicMillan stock. Anyone out there do this work? I've considered trying to fit it to a Bansner Hi-tech stock since it is basically a Winchester clone, but don't know if it would fit? I can get a synthetic made by MPI, but most advise against that! Any suggestions? | ||

If you call McMillan and talk to Dick Davis, he may have a program for inletting what you want. To answer you question, they do offer their stocks uninletted. I have not done one.

Don, just FYI, most of the inletting for synthetics is done by CNC machines running fairly high speed cutting tools. I don't know what it would be like to inlet a McMillan or other synthetic stocks with hand tools if that is what you are thinking. You probably knew this already, just kind of thinking along with your post. Jim could tell you what it's like to inlet one with hand tools I'm sure...... | |||

McMillan used to sell "Basic Inlet" stocks. Many referred to these as "flat tops". Some had just the barrel channel opened from front to rear of action area. Some were just flat. | |||
