Hey folks, Ive finnaly finished carving on my model 12 stock and ive go it shooting the way I want it. Unfortunatly its the ugliest thing sitting on the gun rack. Ive considered having it painted but the last stock I had painted chipped and scratched easily. So I want to have my stock duplicated onto a piece of colored laminated birchwood. I need someone that can drill the bolt hole, Inlet the face to the reciever, and rough out the shape and contour of the stock. I can do the final sanding and I have a gentelman that does a really good job of finishing stocks. I dont even want checkering cut into the stock. I will also want the forearm dulpicated as well. Im willing to shell out the cash if the job is done right, But since this will be a fairly rough job i dont expect to pay a whole lot. If you do any work like this or have a duplicator or know of any one that will do this kind of work for a reasonable price, please let me know. Ive attached a few pics so you will have an idea of what you could be getting into. BYG

Looks like you did a good job. The name of the game is to break targets. I would leave the sob the way it is. When I was young I had a 870 TB with no bluing left on the gun, and the stock was in very poor shape and I place my 4 year old son's old tennis shoe sole that I epoxied on the stock for a recoil pad.

My friend was the only one who knew that I could shoot this gun really well. We went to an out of state Calcutta and I put my 3/4 of an inch eye glasses on, and got my cane and threw in a little limp and carried my gun everywhere I went.

When the bidding started the gun was next to me. My name came up and there was a gasp when the starting bid was $20.00. My friend bought me and we won a nice chunk of change. Guys with the fancy guns "HATE" losing to guns that look like yours and mine. I hope you leave it the way it is and hope you clean up at the shoots.

Find a painter that does motorcycle tanks.

They can probably get that mess filled and sanded, and paint whatever design you have in mind. A few coats of automotive clear, and it should be durable enough to last.

These guys are true artists, and some of their work belongs in an art museum.

I agree that if it fits you, and your shooting is improved, who cares what shape the stock is.

Good luck,
Russ

I believe I am going to go with Mr. Dennis devault. He answered all of my questions very quickly and gave me a quote I can live with. I firmly believe he will turn out a perfect product based on the quality of work I have seen come out of his shop. BYG

I agree with your choice. Either one mentioned would have been good. You did your own questioning and made the right choice. BTW, do your friends call you "goose"? Jon
