While I am licensed dealer in firearms of all type including NFA and can recieve your gun for custom fit,
I like to save customers money if possible and save the considerable expense of shipping of a valuable gun back and forth.
This may require just a bit of extra work, but can be done with highly satisfactory results. I make BAR stocks to fit
my receiver parts. With the variation in BAR manufacturers over the years, I have detected a slight difference in some
guns in the wood to metal fit. This is not a big difference in most cases, but if that perfectly smooth wood
to metal fit is desired where the butt stock attaches to the metal, the customer may need to a) do a test fit on
a mostly completed stock, mark the metal outline, and return the stock to me, b) I can leave it about 1/16th oversize and
the customer can do a final bit of finish sanding themselves, or c) send the gun to me for fitting.
I can replicate the various styles of 1918 stocks made from the early hump to the later straight fit, to the colt guns.
Like my thompson work, the customer will need to provide some of their metal components (like a butt plate for example) for
proper fit to the stocks if the whole gun is not sent.
Stocks and front grips are made from the same stock blank for proper match.
Prices start at $160 for the butt stock (all types), A2 front grip $80, 1918 front grip with checkering $150. Fancy grades
of wood available for extra cost.
