no.1 mk 3 and no.4 mk 1 new cnc stocks

Too rich for my blood. I believe the current going rate for a complete wood kit WITH all the metal parts is 100-150. That's your competition. If you could turn out a "perfect" stock set in interesting types of wood at $150ish I think you'd have a real business on your hands.
That said, just because you can't cater to everyone doesn't mean you can't cater to anyone. Surely there is some interest at any price point.
What is your main cost - hiring the CNC programmer? Time on the machine?
Where did you find these sets?

No4 Mk1/ No4 Mk2 right? If wood sets for the No1 Mk111 can be had for that I'd like to know where!? Wait,what'd you say your handle is? Dr.Who? What!?
 
Sorry guys, yes, no4 mk1 stocks!

There are complete wood stocks kits available on the EE from time to time, and I think it is worth mentioning that you can buy a COMPLETE no4mk1 for $350 from P+S militaria and move the wood over. Put your sported wood on a pakistani enfield and full wood on your long branch. Yes I have been cracking wood jokes with my wife today. I rubbed a stripper on my wood today and she didn't even get mad! lolololol

Numrich, marstar, tradex, ellwood epps have SOME parts. I looked at sourcing bits and pieces from all of them but was not thrilled with potential shipping costs and mismatched parts. I ended up buying a kit from a CGNer.

I'm trying not to de-rail this thread, just answering questions.

I think some sanding might be necessary in the end, as well as oiling etc etc to preference.. I got curious about woodwork cnc machines .. check this video out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPodEIdL34c
 
Thanks Skaal-tel. Any input is great. I talked to an engineering buddy of mine and he said a cnc is great, but it's still making passes so it wont be perfect. Now let me clear the air and say that I spitballed when I said $250. I really dont know what kind of cost it would be and I'm truly HOPING it's much lower. I think it would be kind of cool to pay a lower price, and have to do put in a little elbow grease to make the stock perfect. So, for me if I could buy a stock set for cheaper, be able to give it my own personal touch through sanding, oiling etc. I'm totally good with that. The part I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around attaching those metal parts and where the heck to get some. Once again, if someone knows how to do some decent metal work, this could be done cheaply and collaboratively with this endeavor. Once again, just brainstorming. LOVE the fact that people are in to potentially doing this.
 
Couldn't find their business on the internet. Do they have a website? Phone number?
Alberta gun stocks will do walnut No1 MIII for $250.00.I was looking at their work at the recent Edmonton gunshow and it was very nice.They also do Ross stocks.They are pantograph duplicators and are located in New Norway Alberta.
