New McMillan Stock
McMillan could have a winner if they came out with an A5 that had the adjustable cheekpiece the 3A has.

There's no info on it but a guy from the M14 Exchange on Facebook has one on pre-order. He only found out because he called McMillan to place an order for an M3A and they told him they weren't fulfilling orders for the M3A anymore.
You'd think they'd get information on the M4A out especially since they won't sell the M3A anymore.

That's what I'm getting my info from. I have reached out to Mcmillan via email with no response so I guess the next thing for me to do is call. I also reached out to Tom Manners to see if there was any news from them about a possible limited run for these with no response either.
I have emailed them every year about their prototype m14 stock, and they always tell me it's not in the plans. I figured you would get an answer, you are on the radar with them.
I hope someone can get some answers and maybe make a difference, I feel like m14 guys are not important. We need as many options as we can get, especially high quality options. Just because I am set with my J.A.E.-100 stocks doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see more options, and I might even buy another type, one of these. I had an M3A already and I really liked it, if I could get an updated, upgraded version I might jump. I'd like to see one available for everyone else.
Why are they not selling the M3A anymore?
I hope Tony can get somewhere too.

Here is the info Mcmillan just sent me. Looks like I will have to put the ACR on hold and pick up another M1A to fit into one of these!!!
We do have an stock in the works for the M1A. We call it the M4A and will be the latest in our design for the M1A. It does feature a Butthook on the butt of the stock and will have the Adjustable spacer system and an Integral Adjustable cheek piece. It will retain the same pistol grip style as the M3A but the forend will be like that of the ADJ A3-5. It will be more squared off and taper down slightly from the tip of the forend to the receiver. Right now we are about 6 months out from the completion of the Mold to cast the shells. If you place an order for one now, we are looking about 8-9 months wait time to receive it. The time could slide to the left and be shorter depending on how fast the Mold is finished and we can start producing them.
I don't know about you guys but im super stoked about this!!!

I like the McMillan stock on my FNH bolt gun, but I didn't like the saddle riser. It seemed to loosen up every 5 or so shots, and didn't inspire confidence. YMMV
I sent my stock to a gent in CA who installed the "loggerhead" riser system; and IMHO, it is leaps and bounds ahead of the saddle type.
It will be interesting for me to see the new M1A stock, and if it can be ordered without the saddle riser I would do the same mod and be pretty happy.

Jim, who made that sling? Les Tam or Turner? Looks like the Turners I am going to order.
It looks like a Turner to me.
Les usually rivets his holders now.

i hope they make something like that, it looks to be everything the m3a should of been. The question for me is how light can they make it? If only someone would make something like that out of a nice strong and light material like carbon fiber. I emailed McMillan last week about the the m2a to see if they were still making those from time to time, of course they weren't. What they did say was they were going to stop taking custom orders for the m3a and instead just make a handful a year and sell them on their online store.

McMillan is producing the M4A it not a fantasy. I contacted AG composites about a M3A configuration but they showed zero interest. I still do not understand why AG is producing a carbon fiber stock on a 50 year old stock design.

I did the exact same thing with AG, even made a power point to discuss options. I hope they still consider something like this in the future. My m3a is not light and there a few things is really don't like about it. I gave them my recommendations, but I agree why not have something updated for people who either can't have a pistol grip or prefer more traditional style stock.
I'd be interested in this stock if it doesn't weigh a ton.
