with all this new technology with the use of the dnc machines etc. can a not so common sxs side lock shotgun stock be duplicated from just the receiver.

Yes, with a 3d scanner and 5 axis cnc mill, you certainly can make stocks. They will cost a lot more than anyone wants to pay for a stock; hence the use of the simple, manual, pantographs for stock making. Now, if you are making them by the hundreds, then it becomes cost effective. Maybe I am talking to the wrong places though.

I was just curios as I have a early W.C. Scott early sxs hammer gun with the stock missing and was hoping for a solution to replace it other than having a pro do it. thank you for the feed back.

I watched a guy clay press a stock once. He had a lump of really stiff clay and pressed in the action 1/16" at a time and just used dental looking tools to scrape away every point of contact until he had a reasonable rough in, then duplicated it by hand with a router and set of chisels until he got a reasonable fit. Took weeks.

Call around to some of the bigger shops and see if anyone has a take off or even broken stock you could buy and graft to a duplicator or pattern stock.

Perhaps you could contact the company and see if by a long shot they could locate a stock for you?

Suggestion only, but would give Wenig's, stock mfg. firm, a call and discuss. Their labor rates are fair, but price does get into the stratosphere when high grade wood is involved.
Worth a phone call would say.

If you do not have the original stock to duplicate; just have the bare metal, then hand fitting a stock to a classic double will cost at least $1000, plus the cost of wood. Even at low hourly rates, it takes a lot of those hours to do it right. I never make any money on work like this as no one can afford it.

Doug Turnbull and his crew do amazing things replacing old sxs stocks....I think they are the best.....but as mentioned above, it's customer work, and not cheap. Even with a duplicator it's gets pricey. The duplicator only roughshod it out. Still a lot of hand fitting and finishing

If he has no original stock a duplicator won't help
Manual fitting and shaping $$ will eat him alive

You give Donnie at Show Me Gun Stocks a call does a lot of doubles work at 1-660-438-4568, finished several for me nice work

This guy makes it look easy..

This is where I would go. I don't know his prices for off the wall stuff but around/about 3k for normal guns and plain wood. Just have to decide how bad you want it.
