Stock Manufacturer?
Gents (and ladies if present),
I'm the proud owner of an M1A, and a while back I made the move to a JAE stock. It's a Gen1 JAE100, and while I have heard that the Gen2s are a major improvement, I'm just not as happy with it as I thought I would be. I think I originally bought it because it looked more 'modern' and 'rugged' than the old wood stock I had (which I made the mistake of selling to a friend of a friend). So now I'm looking for a manufacturer of custom wood stocks for the M1A. Anyone know someone who does this, or the name of a branded manufacturer? Thanks. Stonwulfe |

Exactly what sort of wood stock do you seek?
Regards, Walt

Something that you might consider is a Gundtock Duplicator. I work for a company that manufactures duplicators, and they are inexpensive and quite amazing! (do an Ebay search for "carving duplicator"). As an example, I just received a Savage 110 for my birthday. It came with a synthetic stock, and I find synthetics ugly, and with no appeal at all. I bought a spectacular piece of english walnut and knocked out a stock in a few hours. Bought a checkering tool set, and I'm going to learn checkering now. I did the same thing to my old Winchester 94, with a new claro walnut stock and grip. Seems a lot better than paying someone a fortune for a stock... and I do stocks for all my friends, if they give me the wood. I did a stock for a friend that was a 50 Cal. Hawken from the 1800's... the original stock was broken and busted, but with a lot of filling, patching and sanding, it was like new for use as a pattern, and voila!, a new stock.
