Ryan McMillan’s resume is insane. He was born into a firearms dynasty, has a degree in physics, was a U.S Navy SEAL, and started one of the most elite American-made custom rifle stock companies in existence. McMillan sits down with Black Rifle Coffee Co.’s Evan Hafer to talk about the company his grandfather started in 1973. You may have heard of it: McMillan Fiberglass Stocks.

The company and his grandfather, along with the US Marine Corps, created the modern sniper rifle. Ryan talks about what it felt like to use some of the rifles his grandfather and uncle designed on sniper ops while deployed in Afghanistan as a member of SEAL Team 2 in the early 2000s.

They also dive into how McMillan finally got his physics degree and continued his family's legacy by building the Grayboe custom rifle stock company with a mission to make mass-produced, affordable stocks with a quality never before available to regular shooters.
