I currently have a nice chunk of walnut that I'd like to have worked to fit my left handed MRC 1999 action. Other than Richards Microfit, who else can I call to discuss?

Thanks

NO, NO, NO, I would carve one from a pocket knife before I'd use them, and yes I have used them many years ago!

Do a search and you'll find top rate people here that can do it, and do it correctly!

Are you looking for a custom stock from your blank or are you wanting to have your blank turned from a pattern?

call Al Lind

well rather than considering richards - call B. Obama at white house 011

He's an AZZ Whole can't speak let alone actually do any hands on anything !.

Are you wanting to do this yourself, or are you looking for someone to make a stock for you?

John Vest in Roseburg, Oregon has a duplicator made by that fellow from Idaho (jeeze, I hate getting old---can't recall the name!). Anyway, the machine itself does very, very precise inletting and John is careful and does nice work. He can sometimes take along while and he charges a pretty penny for the very precise inlet, but to me its worth it rather than spend alot of time scraping and sanding and such.

Sorry, but I don't know John's phone number, however he is a member of the Custom Gunmaker's Guild.

Good luck with your project.

I've had excellent luck with Shane Thompson's duplicating services, his number is:

Thanks all... I'd like to take my blank and have someone duplicate a LH model 70 stock. I understand that the MRC 1999 will fit well into that pattern. Will look up the gentlemen mentioned above.

I bet there are number of duplicators that have the MRC 1999 pattern as well.

The bottom metal of a 1999 SA is not exactly the same as a M70, not sure about the LA's. Just an FYI.
