But make no bones about it, If you can`t do the work yourself,then getting a bloke like that to do the job at a price you are happy with is the way to go. Your rifle looks stunning and you should be over the moon with it, ATB Quote Link to post

ATB Hi. I have a Richards stock on my CZ which looks just as good but it took a great deal of fitting, there was more wood on the floor when I had finished and it took hours of work, saying that I enjoy working with wood and I am very pleased with the result. Richards say that their stocks are 99% finished but I would say 70% is nearer. DD Quote Link to post
danebrewer10 6 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 nice! a proper quality stock at a much more acceptable price, I did look at the Gary cane stocks but didn't get a reply plus I bet they cost the earth! Quote Link to post
