Stock Duplication

[dustbag]

I've been searching and coming up empty. Looking for recommendations for someone in the Midwest with a stock duplicator. I recently picked up some curly maple logs. They are now cut and kiln dried. I'm not a woodworker and don't want to buy a duplicator to do a few stocks. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I used these guys a couple months ago. I sent him a McMillan flattop and an English walnut blank. Turn around time was super fast, only a couple weeks and price was more then fair. And his work is about as close to the original as it gets. Here's how it turned out, now I just have to find the time to finish it.

That's some nice wood!

I actually have a router duplicator (Wisconsin). I have built exactly one stock with it but it turned out really nice.

That right there is a beautiful stock! Bolt and cheekpiece are on the wrong sides, though. Better warn OP about that small issue. . .

KHM that's something, good job.

I'm able to deal with the obvious flaw, lol. Once though on my first attempt at cutting threads on a metal lathe, I cut left handed threads. That needed some rework!

WOW! Be sure and post pics once you finish the stock. It's absolutely gorgeous!

Matthew at Ridge Rifles in Casper, WY recently purchased a stock duplicator. You might give him a call. He is a great gunsmith.
Good luck and we would all like to see your finished project.

That looks great. I love good wood stocks.

Have you used Tung Oil....it's an amazing product! It would make the grain in that wood pop!

Looks great on the outside. How close is the fit on the inside around the magazine box and the bottom metal? that's the area that I've had issues in the past. I have a fiddle back Sicimore blank that I want cut for a Mauser. The last stock I had cut Richard's did it and was sub par, I've been looking for someone who is still in the business. Thanks for the information.
