New stock unmachined

[abolter]

I am wanting to get a specific thumbhole stock, uninletted. I would then need it inletting to accomodate a barnard single shot action and a heavy barrel (already own). I woud then need a paint job on the stock. Who can do this and what should I expect to pay?

Who can do this? Any gunsmith.

 

Who will do it? One who is short of work!

 

There's little money to be made in in-letting, bedding and painting. OK as part of a rifle-build but turning up with your stock blank and barrelled-action.................but, maybe someone on UKV will prove me wrong!

Surely there is as much money as someone charges??? Low prices are usually a result of oversupply or lack of demand??

 

Would the inletting be something I could do myself or is it a job that is likely to end up a dogs cock?

If you have access to a milling machine - have a go.

why not try steve kershaw didnt he do you a rifle last year,or baldie both know a thing or two about your needs

[abolter]

I can try Steve ta but I wasnt sure what was involved and I wasnt sure he did the paint jobs?

[pork chop]

sure he could sub it out or dave could do job lot.what sort of paint job you thinking of

[abolter]

Cheers. I have spoken to Steve. Baldie can do paintwork but I have also come across Staffs-Synthetic Stocks and they seem pretty decent. Anyone got experience of them?
