For years I used a local guy who was very good and reasonable in price, but he has retired. Occasionally I pick up a new stick and I am looking at some two piece Turkish for some SxS shotguns. Any recommendations and prices? Lee. DRSS(We Band of Bubba's Div.) N.R.A (Life) T.S.R.A (Life) D.S.C. | ||

Dennis Olson of Plains Montana has done four stocks for me in the last couple years and I'm very happy with his work. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

If you guys keep telling everyone about Dennis I will go broke buying him pie to sneak in some work of mine.  I agree he does a great job of duplicating.  ****************************** "We do not exaggerate when we state positively that the remodelled Springfield is the best and most suitable "all 'round" rifle".......Seymour Griffin, GRIFFIN & HOWE, Inc. | |||

Boy. Isn't this a kicker? Dennis has been doing my metalwork for years and years, but he has never mentioned woodwork or duplicating?  | |||

Lee440: I have used John Vest of Redmond, Oregon several times and have been very pleased. John is a little slow at times and he is a little on the pricey side. I think he is about $200-$250.00 for a stock with cheekpiece. However, he uses a stock profiling machine made by that inventor from Boise, Idaho [can't recall the name]. I am told that with this particular instrument, very precise inletting and contouring is easier to achieve. In any event, I know it takes John near a full day to do one stock and the ones I have received back from him are very precisely inletted. Darn near a drop in. You can reach John at [541] 923-8898.

John Valicek, Canyon Lake, Texas.   You know John already, don't you Lee? The only other person I know and trust is Jeffe. Rusty We Band of Brothers!

That would be a Hoenig-Rodman Duplicator as developed by George Hoenig who also makes round double barrel shotguns of his own design. Other types of duplicators can be made to cut as close as the Hoenig if they are modified to provide considerably more support for the workpiece being cut. | |||

Thanks for all the replies. I guess I will call and talk to some of them! Rusty, I talked to Tip and apparentley, John does not have a duplicator. I would somewhat prefer to use local talent if possible. Thanks to all! Lee. DRSS(We Band of Bubba's Div.) N.R.A (Life) T.S.R.A (Life) D.S.C. | |||
