Pete, would you address the idea of sending the original wood, if it is well fitted to the gun, to the stock turner to use as a pattern for your particular gun? I've never done this, but it would seem that if this were done, then the new one was requested to be a few thou undersized in the inletted areas, you would have the best possible scenario. Any drawbacks to this? Any chance of your original wood being damaged in the copying process?
