Stocks?
- Thread starter TrxR
- Start date
or order a "stock" from Richard microfit stock
the usual feedback:
pros:
-low price
-lot's of models and options
-many choices of wood
-will fully refund if shipped you a out of spec stock. Full refund excludes frustration and waiting time
cons:
-lots of work to do to have a smooth stock that will fit the hand of someone that's not an ogre
-sometimes action inlet are cut out of spec
-long wait time
obviously it will ship across the border since it's not a complete stock, they ship it in a "carved wood state"

Check out Joels web site , he makes a awesome stock and is a first class guy to deal with. I have one of his A5L stocks and soon will have a couple more when I get building my next projects. By the way I had no problems getting my stock shipped here .

Not to hijack the thread, but I bring miscellaneous parts across the border from the U.S. all the time -- including a second-hand stock earlier this year -- and our customs guys have never given me any grief about it. . . .

I've also heard good things about Bob Fortier and have handled a very nice custom stock alledgedly made by him. In Canada so might be worth looking in to. He's on this site
I make stocks in carbon fiber composite so can't really help with a wood stock

Thanks guys. I was looking at a Don Stith stock in the picture but he says he cant ship across the border But I might give ago at making my own out of cheap material to see how I make out then copy it over to either a solid wood blank or a laminate blank.

It is not CBSA that cares, you are breaking US export rules and will have to deal with them if you ever get busted.

I've got a Boyds Tacticool en-route to Canada via USPS and no one has said anything. I suspect it's just a question of some suppliers not wanting to go through the hoops to be allowed to export stocks. I also order parts from Savage and they didn't say anything either.
If they have an export permit and the value is under $100 then it is no problem. Boyds is in that situation. Try and order a stock that is over $100 from them and see what happens.
