One particular gun that I had the unpleasure experience of dealing with was a Baker Batavia Leader. The buttstock was purchased from Macon's already made inventory, but the forend had to be sent to them for duplication.

Both pieces were unusable. The lower tang of the buttstock was about 1/8" oversized and no amount of bedding would make it look right. And the forend that they supposably duplicated had good inletting, but the bottom of the iron hung off the wood about 1/4"! No way did they duplicate the original.
