Thank god they stand behind there product, even for dumb asses like me.

While at the CFRC, I talked Glen T. into a cart race, were you just let 'er roll down the berm, unmanned. Mine was winning until it bounced and the front tire turned sideways and stuck in the drainage area in front of the berm. The whole rig did a end over and everything was on the grass. I figure this is were I broke it but did not find it until mid-October. No more unmanned cart races for me LOL. Sent the stock back Oct 22 and they got it Nov 2nd. I received the replacement stock on Dec 17th, 56 days after I shipped it to them!

Thank You Thank You Thank You McMillan!

This is a pic of the cart and rifle and the dumb ass(me) the day before on either the 700 or 800m berm, which could be the same one as where my "dump" happened. You can see the ditch were the wheel stuck.... hummmm extra dumb eh.... we even though so too once they were in motion LOL. The blue thingy hanging from the cart is a rain cover for the rifle and the bags are someone else's, Claude's I think.

The stock itself cracked, from the outside of trigger guard up thru the bolt handle relief, thru along and thru some bedding, back down thru the trigger relief to the inside of the trigger guard again. You could see daylight thru it if you took the action out and held it to the sunlight just right. It must have broke inside first since I did not notice it for sometime and then it appeared one Oct day when it went to taking her out for a little shooting. I sure did not think that small berm could generate so much speed from our carts and damage :eek:
 
Good thing you took the baby out of that stroller first:p Look into one of those low speed high drag Fold-it carts. You can carry around a s**tload more stuff and if the shooting isn't going well you can turn it into a hotdog cart:cheers:

A cracked stock would account for any shots that were not V bulls and I would stick to that story. On the bright side you found the problem in the off season and not the day before you leave for Ottawa next summer.
 
Ajax, as easy as making a call to them and putting it in the mail. I had the original box still and McMillan shipped it US Priority Air, went from Phoenix to LAX to Stoon in days! I guess that is why we pay the prices we do for stocks and scopes etc., for that forever warranty.
 
Did you just finish snorting 5 lines of coke before that "cart race"? Great to hear another company that stands behind their products 100% though.
 
Yu have to understand the synergy that is created whenever you hang around Taylor. Weird things happen.

First, you always speak in foreign accents. The Demographic north of the Indian Ocean being most common.

Next, if you have stress incontinence, you are sure to start smelling like the public washroom at a bus terminal, for it is difficult not to look at Taylor and not picture him sniffing Snow White's dirty laundry basket in between "Hi-Ho" soliloquies.

You will be possessed to partake of jeuvenile acts of self amusement, such as the wearing of shooting accessories as items of head dress or as cod pieces. I seem to recall we spent some time talking like Stephen Hawking's voice synthesizer and then amused ourselves integrating that into our mimickry/friendly mockery of TR shooters.This was followed with an interpretive dance depicting the consumation of Hawking's marriage.

Shooting cart races? Yep, I can totally understand!!!
 
Yep I would say that looks more like a chair on wheels (what, no beverage holder?) that GT decided to throw his shooting kit into. Now if that was me, my ass would still be stuck in there and the jaws of life would be needed to remove it.
 
Connaught ranges are actually several ranges, that picture is "C" Range from about behind the 800m mound with the cadet camp and Kanata in the background. That range is used for the long range matches 700, 800m and 900m during the DCRA Annual Prize meeting.
"A" range behind the row of cars is used for mid range 500 yards and 600 yards. "D" range behind the photographer's left shoulder is used to the 300m portion of the matches.

See the DCRA or ORA web pages to find out how you can get involved in shooter there.

Thank you.
 
Not that I would ever try to equate our stocks with those from McMillan but it seems to have broken easily. The long range mounds at Connaught are not too steep after all! Speed kills!!
