beatingisbest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 To have a replacement stock made is very expensive for a shotgun. £800+ i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Sam Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 And that's just for the walnut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham M Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Have you thought about having a go yourself. I had a nice bit of Walnut given to me for @ £20 off a member of this forum and was able to make a pretty good effort for my old No 4 AyA. Takes a lot of time and effort but saves a fortune, especially on a gun that isn't worth the cost of new wood. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tink Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I recently managed to crack the stock rather badly on one of my 12 bores. using a knightsbridge gunshop www.raywardgunsmith.com. They did a superb job and I highly recommend their professional quick service. It cost a little over £1000 but the stock was better than the original in walnut with a beautiful finish.

clayman Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Ray Ward probably outsourced having it done. Go to source, try Sorrel Bros in East Grinstead for a quote, they do it there themselves. You can get it done in the far east for 1/2 the money if you have the time to wait and the old stock to pattern ( difficult sending the actions over - need export license etc) Clayman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you PM Cranfield he may have the number of a man known as Chris O. I have lost his details but definitely gave them to Cranfield.

ferrodo Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Graham, how did you manage with cast on/off? did you bend to suit? F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham M Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Graham, how did you manage with cast on/off? did you bend to suit?F The wood was 2½†thick so it was a simple case of cutting the head in the middle and then going back to the top strap. Then it was just a case of moving the butt pad over to the one side (@ 9mm cast) and joining the two up. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
