If you're going to invest in a custom stock, you want to make damn sure the measurements are absolutely correct. Fit is, obviously, paramount for such a stock. McMillan USA (whcih has been doing this for forty three years now) has put together a barrel measuring kit (BMK) for custom stocks to ensure you get exactly what you need. It's a simple template with easy to use instructions. The kit includes, among other things, their preferred calipers and a full DVD tutorial (which might be worth the price of admission by itself). You can buy the kit in their online store… …which is of course the next piece of good McMillan news. “For the first time in the history of McMillan fiberglass stocks we have an inventory of on hand stocks ready to sell and ship immediately.” Kelly McMillan In the DVD Kelly McMillan takes you through what they describe as a step by step lesson on how to use all the tools in the kit so you can accurately convey the information they need to make your “perfect stock.” Take a look at what's available from McMillan USA online right here. McMillan USA BMK About McMillan Gale McMillan, founder of McMillan companies began producing stocks in 1973 for himself for the highly demanding benchrest matches where he competed. Fellow competitors, always in search of the next competitive edge, asked the inventor to produce some stocks for their rifles. From these roots, the McMillan family of companies has grown into one of the most well-known and respected brands in the firearms industry. While the company has expanded its product line and is well known throughout the world, the core of McMillan’s business philosophy–quality products, exceptional customer service and a commitment to the growth of the firearms industry–remains the same. McMillan Group International, located in Phoenix, Arizona, is the corporate parent for a family of firearms companies committed to excellence in the firearms industry. Companies include McMillan Fiberglass Stocks, a leading manufacturer of premium custom fiberglass stocks for hunting, competition, tactical, and OEM markets; and McMillan Machine Company, a contract manufacturer of precision machined parts.
