converting right hand stock to left hand

[nfoley]

Anyone ever convert a synthetic stock from right to left hand? I have a manners I am contemplating doing this to. Emailed Tom at Manners several days ago but no answer, must be busy.
I want to not only have it cut out for the bolt but also filled on the right side and then repainted.

Try Chad Dixon @ LongRifles. C. Dixon is his name here on the hide.

Instead of just filling in the right bolt cut with bedding material or a material different than what the shell is made of. We like to back cut the fill in the stock around the old bolt cut all the away down to the shell. Then we fill in with heavy fiberglass mat and carbon fiber to make the modification. If you just use bedding material to fill in the old bolt cut then repaint you run the chance of a crack forming over time between the shell and the repair material. All of our stocks have a life time guarantee, no matter if you are the first owner or the second, on a modification like this, we recommend that it be done by us. Give me a buzz and we will get you fixed up. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the reply. This is why I choose Manners stocks, great CS. McMillan is local and I have been asked why I choose Manners over McMillan and my answer is when I receive great CS I will continue to give them my business.
That and I love the manners stocks, especially the T5!
Will be calling tomorrow.

Just quick update. Spoke with Tom Manners the other day and he is taking care of me. Yet again he has gone above and beyond. Should be getting left handed T5 next week. This says a ton, especially with how busy he is with the new line of tactical folders coming out and the upcoming Shot Show.
Thanks Tom!!
