I am with Dudley on this. Trying to inlet a bad semi inlet stock is a pain and could be impossible. To fix one over inlet area takes far longer than you can understand. If it's off in one area you can fix that but then you may have to also inlet five other areas. It all has to come togeather at the same time. Be off in one area and correcting that sometimes makes you off in several others. You have to be an Einstein to fix a morons sloppy work.
The worst stock for me to correct a duplication error is a Lefever. That top strap is hard to get right and if you have to fix any other areas you can't change that once it's down. It's a compound curve, tapered, with that bulb area on the end. I've learned to stop the copy duplicator about 1/2" short on the top strap and do it by hand. That way I can pull everything back if need be and not have a gap around the end of the top strap.

A $60.00 stock is a $60.00 stock. Caveat Emptor.
If you want half your work to be Acra-glass well, then there you go.
Out there doing it best I can.

I've determined that probably best to stay away from Macon.
Any recommendations where you've had a positive experience? I have a stock blank and can provide the original as a template, how about someone with a duplicator who knows what he's doing?
thanks,
Rob

If the head of your stock is ok, adding a butt transplant can work out very well and you get the dimensions you want.

some have had good experience with macon and some have not...
but, repeated bad mouthing with innuendo only, and with no specific details just seems vindictive to me... Ed I put the details in my post. It's not heresay nor is it innuendo.

Gunstocks Inc. has good lefever nitro special semi-inlets. I personally have never had an issue with anything that has come from them. You would have to see if they offer something for the .410.
Keep in mind that a lot of original nitro stocks have steeper drops. Like 3" or so, if you want something more modern, doing a custom job is the best way.

Ed Good thinks it's hearsay, bad-mouthing, and innuendo to post exact verbatim quotes of his anti-gun statements which he has repeatedly made here. He remains the poster child for "You Can't Fix Stupid". Ed goes on to accuse Brian Dudley of being a back stabber. I think someone who pretend to be a gun guy, but posts crap like this, is the real back stabber. next question:
does the second amendment prohibit state and local governments from regulating the keeping of arms by the people?
i believe it does not...what say you? guess no body here has the balls to answer my question:
disarm...seems to work for the rest of the civilized world...
why not us?
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

It's hard to put one or two grand into restocking a gun worth less than a grand. I'd watch EBay for a used one or if mine was decent on the front end graft a butt section onto it as a reasonable economical repair. It's not that hard to do if you have a decent drill press and cutoff saw or band saw.
