Gunstock Blank Sources In Canada?

[Decker9]

Be sure to get lots of photos before purchasing. All sides (smoothed to see the grain), length, thickness and straightness. Lots of wood out there that looks nice, but will cause havoc down the road.

Earlier I posted a nice piece I just received, its looking like a flub after digging into it ($1400 later). Lesson learnt from a learning stock maker, but least it should look pretty.

The next piece I order will be from a reputable blank source.

As I stated in an earlier post. After looking around I am far better off finding a nicely figured take-off stock set for the gun I want to put it on. It's a much more economical way to go...

Yes it will be. You would be hard pressed to get a blank for the cost of a take off stock. Let along have any work done to it

Worse case scenario, it is still possible to get blanks from the US

Stopped by one of the local wood sources last week. They had a bin of what they were calling woodturning blanks. $5 a pound. turns out most of them were originally cut to be butt stock blanks. picked up two half-decent butt blanks.$60 maybe a woodturning blank would suit your purpose.

I brought in some blanks directly from Calico in California about 15 years ago, half a dozen or so. Still have two left one French and one Claro, but as mentioned, the stock maker is the tough to find part.

Wish I would have had the foresight and extra cash to bring in a few dozen blanks, seems like they were a lot cheaper then.

^^^ They were much cheaper then! I placed an order with Fajen back about 2004 for a Marlin 94 for a grade just above standard. I think it was like $275 at the time.

The set they send me is for a Win/94, call them and send it back. Couple weeks later I get this set ,but tangs are cut too long for a 94 and fits a Marlin 1893 of which I had a couple.
I wet the stock,see the grain and no way I'm returning or complaining about this one.

I'm not sure of today's replacement value but I would think north of $1K.
