Q: What are flush cups and sling studs?

Flush cups are sling mount bases that are embedded flush with the surface of the rifle stock. You insert a quick-detach push-button swivel into the flush cup base. Flush cups may be either rotating or non-rotating, and are usually located on the front and rear side (left side for RH shooters and right side for LH shooters), but can also be on the bottom of the stock. Sling studs are sling mounts that are screwed into the bottom of the stock and protrude 3/8". Sling swivels are used to attach slings to the sling studs. Sling studs may also be used as mounts for certain bipods. Some of the most common placements of flush cups and sling studs are: 1 sling stud bottom front, 2 flush cups left side (for RH shooters). This arrangement will accommodate a sling and a bipod. 2 sling studs bottom front, 1 sling stud bottom rear. This arrangement will accommodate a sling and a bipod.

Q: Can I change any of the specs on my stock after I have placed my order?

You may change any of the specs on your stock at any time but it could affect the completion time. If you make any of the following changes, your stock completion date will be reset to the current lead time for custom-built stocks: Changes to color/finish or shell after stock has been shelled, unless you are changing to a painted finish. Changes to action, barrel or trigger guard inlet after stock has been inletted. The following changes will result in a delay of 2-4 weeks: Adding or changing hardware (rails, flush cups, sling studs, etc). Changing color of stock to a painted finish.

Q: How is my stock shipped and what is the shipping cost?

We use United Parcel Service (UPS) to ship most stocks. All stocks shipped via UPS in the continental US are shipped via UPS Ground service. Shipments to Alaska and Hawaii are shipped using UPS 2nd Day Air. Standard ground shipping is $29.95 for the first stock and $10.00 for each additional stock shipped in the same box. Shipping via 2nd Day Air is $49.95 for the first stock and $10.00 for each additional stock shipped in the same box. Stocks being shipped to a PO Box must be shipped via the US Postal Service. Shipping price is the same as UPS shipping.

Q: What is LOP and how is it measured?

LOP is an abbreviation for "length of pull." LOP may be measured several ways but we recommend that you find a rifle that is comfortable for you to shoot, then measure from the middle of the trigger shoe to the flat edge of the recoil pad in a straight line. This will give us a working measurement. The standard LOP for MCS stocks is 13.5 inches.

Q: What is the difference between Elite Hunter shell, Elite Tactical shell and Standard shell?

The Elite Hunter shell is a 100% carbon fiber shell which comes standard on all of our EH (hunting) series stocks. The Elite Tactical shell is also a 100% carbon fiber shell and comes standard on some of our tactical stocks (PRS series), but is an additional charge on the T series and CS series tactical stocks. The Standard shell is a mix of carbon fiber and fiberglass and is slightly heavier than the Elite Hunter/Tactical shell. This shell is the default shell for the T series and CS series.

Q: When do I pay for my stock?

If you have ordered a custom-built stock, you will pay when the stock is in finishing (approximately 2-4 weeks before completion). You will be sent an invoice via email. Flat top and ready-to-ship stocks must be paid at the time of purchase.

Q: Can I have a stock delivered sooner than the current lead time for custom-built stocks?

Yes! There are 3 ways to order an MCS stock: Custom Built - Current lead time of 5-6 months. Orders for our custom-built stocks may be placed on our stock builder or by telephone. We do not encourage placing orders by email and they often do not contain all the information we may need. Click here to visit our online stock builder. Flat Top Stocks - These are stocks that have been produced in a variety of stock models and colors but have not been inletted for action, bottom metal or barrel contour, so you may customize to fit your rifle. You may also add hardware (flush cups, sling studs, etc). These stocks usually ship 6-8 weeks after order is placed. Click here to view our current selection of Flat Top stocks. Ready To Ship Stocks - We have a variety of stock models to choose from on our Ready To Ship page. These stocks are already inletted for a particular action, bottom metal and barrel contour and sold "as is." Only minor hardware changes may be made.
