I agree. I had a McCaan mount on my REM 700 installed by McCaan themselves. They are very rude experts on everything types. They treat you like you know nothing and they know everything. Their mount was the biggest mistake I ever made with my rifle. Screws broke all the time even with 8-40 screws, zero would not hold, and the mount is too close to the barrel affecting harmonics and cooling. In the end I threw the McCaan POS mount in the garbage and got a Badger Ordnance mount. Now everything is great.

David; Thanks for giving our Carbon Fiber Stock a fair review. You'll be pleased to know we have completed 2 years of testing and refinement with law enforcement agencies and the US military and have made some enhancements. The upper and lower rails are now available in longer lengths to accomodate differing styles of night and thermal vision gear, and the lower rail to allow vertigal grips to be stationed closer to the magazine.

The enhanced model is now being prepared for production and should be rolling off the lines in April, 2011.

For those with questions regarding total weight: it's dependent on the version of the M1A/M14 you put into it, and the goodies you load on. Our stock with rails weighs 24 ounces...so to get an accurate weight for your particular rig, just weigh it with no stock and add 24 ounces. Pretty easy math...you'll find the weight difference pleasing. How much is the weight difference? Again it depends on the stock you have...every wood stock weighs differently.

As far as recoil: the view of the military testers was that the difference was neglible, particularly with scope and night vision gear. They also hold to the philosophy that firefights tend to negate the effect of recoil...once the adrenalin is pumping no one seems to notice recoil. Their concern is soldier fatigue, which degrades performance, and that's why they had us build this stock. The weight savings and thermal properties aid in maintaining the personal energy level of the guy who has to haul it around all day.

Let me know if you have an M1A of your own...I'll loan you one of the new stocks to test shoot and write about.

Dick Barnes, McCann Industries

Hello there, the M1A pictured in this photo has a total weight of 10.5lbs. Now that includes the intergrated quad rail, the McCann Industries M1A/M14 steel scope mount (two point fixed to receiver) a Leupold 4x12 scope. This does not include the bipod. The website has pictures of the weapon on the scale. Please check out the website www.mccannindustries.com. Thank you, McCann Industries.

Sooo how much does the M1A weight with this stock?

Or how much weight does it remove from an M1A?

Why were these weights not included in an article telling us about this weight saving product?

I am the guy pictured above and usually itry hard not to be an A-hole to anyone. However to a certain "marinefirsrsarge" I can make an exception. Anyone can be rude, especially when not only can they not spell (even their own login name) however because I represent someone and the products I believe in, let's open this can. First of all, we offer a superior product in many aspects, not inferior as suggested by this so called marine. McMillan carries our scopemounts on their tactical rifles (.308, .338 and .50) Secondly our Stock Inletted Rail System or SIRS mount beds into the stock allowing the barrel to float through. You should no that this particular mount was purschased for USMC rifles assembled by Iron Brigrade Armory, they carried it as a UNS rail and built Chandler rifles with with this rail before making their own version. As far as industry leaders go... hmmm let me see; Badger Ordnance, and Savage both produce identical copies of our MIRS (not MARS) and SIRS mounts. the MIRS mount became available to the public after winning the U.S. Miltary contract to produce the "first" in-line daytime/nighttime scope rail for the U.S.Army M24 Sniper Weapon System. Soon after Remington (they build the rifle marine) started producing their own version of our scope rail. As far as scope rails that mount directly to barrel, that has been done for years and like A-holes and opinions; there are many. Now having stated the above, I do particularly remember talking with a few servicemen who's military unit purchased clones of our products, they had the rails installed incorrectly by a competitorand then came to us stating their rails din't work and we could fix it. So lets put that into perspective. you bought someone else's product, didn't put it together correctly and you want us to fix it for free. I might have been rude. How is that hope and change working for you?

I have personally meet this guy in the picture and he is the biggest A-hole I have ever had to have the displeasure of meeting, Not only are the guys rude and impersonal they offer a inferior product when compared to industry leaders such as Saldak for scope mounts, and JAE, Sage and McMillian for stocks. Moreover McCann industries pout a lot of focus on mounting rails directly to the barrel (a direct copy to the scout mount produced by Springfield) which can have a negative effect on accuracy due to its impediment of standard barrel whip
