Looking for a Stock Maker

[NoStepOnSnek]

I recently had a stock made for a Ruger No.1 by Treebone carving. I thought that I’d be able to do the final fitting, but upon receiving the stock I’ve realized that I bit off more than I can chew.

Does anyone know of anyone who does final fitting on stocks, preferably near Charleston SC? Local search has only brought up guys that focus on ARs, laser engraving, etc.

Have you seen Evan Koch's work? He's out of Minnesota, but does some absolutely fantastic work! Not sure if you're on Instagram, but he has plenty of his work posted there.

You could probably fit it yourself. Unless time is a factor. A set of good wood chisels, the key is to keep them sharp!. Look up Jim Kibler on YouTube. Yes he builds muzzleloaders. But the fitting process is the same. I have 3 treebone stocks to fit on my rolling blocks. They are beautiful wood stocks! I hope this helps.

If you reconsider DIY, get or make a good set of scrapers, and use them more than chisels as you get close. Prussian blue on metal shows exactly where on the wood contact is being made.
