SENTINEL stocks

The SENTINEL^TM Combat Stock is designed by KMW and manufactured by McMillan Fiberglass Stocks. It was developed over a period of 6 years and includes input from top competition shooters as well as law enforcement agencies across the country.

This stock features an ambidextrous thumbhole grip and integral adjustable cheek piece design. Unique features include a very low profile forend with a conformal bottom custom molded for the excellent Harris S-Series bipods. Marble and camouflage patterns are molded into the Gel Coat outer layer.

Every SENTINEL^TM Stock includes LoggerHead^TM adjustable cheek piece hardware. This KMW designed hardware is proven to retain shooter preferences when removed and replaced and will not vibrate loose when shooting or transporting the rifle.

The stock includes 5 flush mounted sling hard points and a convertible bipod station on the forend that allows use of Harris type bipod or Picatinny mounting bipods. All SENTINELs have KMW- L.O.P. Spacer System and Pachmayr D550 Pad.

The stock is fitted with detachable magazine bottom hardware and accepts Accuracy International 10rd A.W. magazines as well as 5 and 10 round A.I.C.S. magazines. See below for more info about this dedicated DBM system.

Ambidextrous design: All curves, grips and lines are symmetrical from side to side. Stock is designed to be easily shot from left or right shoulder.

Thumbhole grip: The firing grip area utilizes a new generation thumbhole design that is meant to offer the user a control surface that is comfortable from all positions and for prolonged periods of use. The trigger reach and position in relation to the grip is designed to accommodate a wide range of users. Hand position and access to bolt, trigger and magazine release is meant to be intuitive for the user. There is molded in surface texture in this area to offer a more slip resistant grip.

Ultra Low Profile Forend: . . positions the barrel into a very low center of gravity in relation to the rest of the stock and any bipod or rest. This configuration helps minimize rifle twist generated from the torque of bullet spin up and helps reduce perceived muzzle climb.

There is molded in surface texture on each side of the rear forend area to offer a more slip resistant surface when in using a conventional two handed grip.

Conformal Bipod Station: The bottom, front of the forend has an integrally molded-in station dedicated to the excellent Harris S-Series bipods. This feature places the apex of the bipod legs as close to possible to the bore line.

This molded-in station controls and locks the bipod body preventing the skew or twisting sometimes experienced when these or other bipods are attached to conventional stocks with large flat bottoms.

Integral Adjustable Cheekpiece: Many modern rifle systems are configured with a day sight or scope/night vision combo that places the sight plane higher above the bore line than conventional hunting/target rifles. This has evolved the need to place the shooter's cheek position higher so that the optic can be viewed comfortably and consistently for extended periods. The SENTINEL^TM COMBAT STOCK meets this need with an integral adjustable cheek piece molded separately from the main stock for enhanced strength and adjustability. The heart of this stocks Integral Adjustable Cheek piece is the LoggerHead^TM hardware. This hardware is was designed and developed by KMW to specifically survive the rigors of duty and service use without vibrating loose. Adjustable for vertical as well as lateral user preferences, this hardware will retain the user settings while removing and re-installing the cheek piece during routine maintenance.

Heavy Duty TG/DM: This stock utilizes a trigger guard and integrated detachable magazine system developed by KMW to maximize ease of use and reliability. This stock was designed to allow the trigger guard to be merged precisely into a well refined system. Our bottom metal accepts Accuracy International AICS magazines.

We believe we have developed an exceptional magazine release that is easier to use, more damage resistant, and more snag resistant than any other bolt action DM system in existence. This magazine release offers all of this while still being accessible with gloves on and while minimizing the chance of accidental magazine loss.

Forward sides of the trigger guard are recessed to allow maximum access to the magazine release while still protecting this part from damage. This feature also helps reduce the chance of accidental release of the magazine during aggressive or rough handling of the weapon.

Our system includes a funneled magazine well that offers greatly improved insertion of the magazine into the weapon compared to other systems currently on the market. This stock and DBM system offers maximum vertical support of the magazine for reliable and repeatable positioning of the rounds in relation to the receiver's feed ramp.

All inside and outside edges of this unit are radiused so that there are no sharp edges. All surfaces and corners are much more user friendly than most DBM systems on the market. Production costs are increased to include this feature but the final design and finished product are superior to anything else in current production.

Stock bolt access holes in this DBM system feature internal snap rings that allow access with the hex drive wrench but prevents loss of the bolts should the stock be removed from the rifle.
