McMillan Stocks is one of the leading fiberglass stock producers, cranking out 8,000-10,000 stocks every year for hunters, target shooters, and members of the military. McMillan employs state-of-the-art, high-tech machinery. At the same time, many processes are still done by hand — such as applying colors to the stocks.

In the videos below, Kelly McMillan hosts Bob Beck of Extreme Outer Limits TV in a tour of the McMillan stock-making facility. We think all avid “gun guys” will be fascinated by these high-quality videos.

McMillan Custom Stock Production

The first video shows the stock-building operation from start to finish — You’ll see the lay-up, color application, molding, and “stuffing”. Watch carefully at 0:16 to see colors being applied.

McMillan Stock Inletting Video

The second video shows how CNC-controlled milling machines create ultra-precise inlets for a variety of barreled actions. McMillan has over 10,000 CNC programs based on different action sizes/shapes, floor-plate dimensions, barrel contours and other stock characteristics. Each program gives precise instructions to the automated, multi-tool milling machines.

McMillan Stock Bedding Video

The third video shows how a barreled action is bedded into a McMillan fiberglass stock. Home gunsmiths will want to watch this segment carefully — maybe more than once. There is a lot to learn.
