At that small price for basic machine inletted, it is tempting!

This is absolutely true. My first trip to Wenig was on a limited budget -- butt stock only, standard grade American Walnut, standard finish, fee for fitting. But what I got was invaluable - a properly fitted gun with stock made to my personal measurements. Not to mention that Jimmy tweaked it when we went out on the practice range.
I should also add that they treated me as if I was buying a $6500 project. On the three subsequent projects I have invested more in each project than each gun by itself is worth. It all depends on how bad you want the gun to fit properly. Beautiful wood is just icing on the cake.

Depends on the gun. Some it is critical or it will crack.
It is a time consuming job that needs to be done with carbon paper a rawhide hammer and a Dremmel or Fordham tool. I see that the additional pricing is the difference of buying a duplicated stock with fancy wood, and getting a custom fit stock. Jones adjuster on a custom stock? Wow............

Time depends on what you are putting it on, the 1100 stock took about 20 hours start to finish, the MX 8 stock was pretty close it has about 5 coats of finish and needs another 10 or so it also took about 20 hours. The BSE in the top photo took 40 hours to get to what you see in the photo, it started out as an MX 5 stock so the inletting and acraglas took most of the time. All 3 are very comfortable to shoot and fit well. The 1100 stock is adjustable since I have a couple of different barrels for it with different rib heights.
I have one for a 686, they require a fair amount of fitting due to the shape of the receiver, you can plan on at least 40 hours to get in shape. It doesn't go fast and the stock itself will take a fair amount of sanding just to get the tool marks out of it. The last photo is fairly representative of what you will start with.

Notice one of the big up charges is for "customer's wood" - a whopping $3,500 ! Several years ago a friend, who knew Fred Wenig very well, took me over to Fred's shop and introduced me.
I had brought my own wood and wanted a custom stock made for my Krieghoff San Remo. I was surprised to learn I was to be charged for furnishing my own wood ! !
They did a great job - custom fit, special checkering, and high gloss finish. It's one of the guns I'm most proud of. Not sure, however, I would spend close to $3,500 for another custom stock.

I am pretty sure that they don't like using your wood. Lester

I just called them 2 weeks ago and asked them to e-mail me their price list, and that is what they sent me. I'd say those prices are pretty current!!
