I got the 'ol Salvage in my T5A finally. Todd bedded it for me, and I painted the stock, metal, and rings. Took it out to shoot this afternoon and found out that it wasn't setup right for me. Came back to the shop and Todd helped me get everything done right.

These pics looked a lot better on the viewfinder of the camera, but they aren't that great. I didn't realize that i'm apparently a multicam fanboi now.

I'm thinking I should have taken off the stock pack so you could see the work on the butt as well. It hurts to know that it's going to get jacked up at ASC next week.

For those of you that don't know, I work in the finish department, and paint the custom camos at Manners Composite Stocks, if you want the best stock made with a camo, give us a call!

Nice work Branden! What do you mean it wasn't "set up right" for you at first? LOP?

That Todd sure is a nice fellow

Re: My new Manners T5A in multicam

I didn't have my cheek at the right height, and I had to move it a bit to the right as well for my fat head. The scope also had to be moved to the rear for my shooting style. Nothing wrong with the stock itself, just the bonehead pulling the trigger didn't adjust that stuff first, lol.

All it takes it to enlarge the rear part of the factory mag relief cut in the receiver with a 1/2" ball nose endmill. here's a pic of what mine looks like:

Re: My new Manners T5A in multicam

Awesome rifle. I love the T5 I just don't know if I'll like the wider forarm. I am in love with the overall weight of my MCS-T as well as it's narrow forarm and ease of offhanding but I drool every time I see that T5.

Very nice rig and you should be happy has heck right now.

Good luck,
Merritt

Manners makes great stocks and offers some bad ass paint scheme's as well.

Congrats!
 
Re: My new Manners T5A in multicam

u Went out saturday and shot at Flounders range to test out the new settings to see if I could shoot better and so far, MUCH better. Here's 400 yards, about half the size it was the day before;

I know it's only 4 shots, but I took limited ammo so I wouldn't shoot too much, these were the last 4 rounds of the day and I thought i'd try them at 400.

Re: My new Manners T5A in multicam

I got my T4a a couple of days ago and all l can say is wow this dude can paint. and the stock is just what l was hoping for. I couldn't believe how nice it was .

Thank you and all of the Manners folks.
 
Re: My new Manners T5A in multicam

You did that paint job? I multicam'd my AX, but I would be interested in you doing a more professional job as my krylon is starting to wear off.

PM me if interested.
 
Re: My new Manners T5A in multicam

Once Chiller gets an ATACs kilt there's probably gonna be a multicam skirt available....

Nice. Now go see what the hold up on my T4A is!!! Tell Todd you're gonna kick over his girly bike for me!
