I was recently quoted a price to duplicate a shotgun stock,(not from Macon's) not including the forend. The quote was 450.00. That is on my blank. I didn't think that too steep compared to having the stock carved. I can final fit/finish.

The shop rate for the company I work for is 125.00/hr, min 3 hrs.,plus expenses for out of town. that's me, the truck and the tools. Parts extra.

I can't see how the stocker could own and maintain the equipment, pay the wage/benifits/liabilty,WC etc. and the facility costs and be making much at 450.00
