Any reputable rifle builder should be able to do it. If your in Alaska I don’t know of any up there. If you are willing to ship the options are endless.


Sierracharlie out....

I’d bet it’s cheaper to buy the same stock already inletted than just paying a smith to inlet it.

That is what I figured, I think some with the fancy cnc wood drilling machine could do it. Just trying to figure out all the angles. I may just use a drill press and do it the old fashion way slowly.

If it were me, I would contact Boyd's, and ask them if I could send it back and get it cut for the rifle that I want to put it on. They sell those stocks cheaply already cut for whatever rifle. They definitely have a system down, where it's very quick and easy to finish each blank for a given rifle type. Probably be the quickest, easiest way to get it done.

Now your talking. Be sure to lay out a center line.

I did ask them right off the bat, for some reason they said they wouldnt do it. I will just copy the stock rifle stock inleting in to this boyds. I for sure thought they would do it also.
