I have a Spanish (JJ Sarasquetta) 12 ga double without a stock. No existing stock to duplicate or use as a pattern. Is there anyone who could make a serviceable stock for this type of project? Any idea if a stock that might be available that could fit? Pics, measurements, descriptions are available.

You might give Fred Wenig a call. 660-547-3334.

Thanks,

Thanks Gary.

there is no question that about any gunstocker could make one. However, the issue will be economics.

This is a classic do-it-yourself project. Too costly to have it completely stocked by a pro, not likely to find a factory stock. The big problem is finding a pattern. But, possibly you could convince a stockmaker, that makes stocks the traditional way, to head up a blank for a relatively reasonable sum and leave the rest to you.

I could never get Wenig to give any pricing on the phone. On the several occasions I called about different guns, they wanted me to send the gun to them for a quote. But, they may have a pattern. Can't hurt to call.

For an inexpensive gun like this, I'd try one of the cheaper stockmakers like Great American Gunstocks http://www.gunstocks.com/ or http://www.gunstocksinc.com/ But again, a pattern will be the issue.

A pattern could be made by taking an existing stock from any boxlock sxs and epoxy bedding the inletting of this receiver into it. Care would have to be taken to ensure proper drop/cast/etc..

Thank you Rocketman and Chuck. Yes, economics come into play, it's not a valuable gun. Gunstocksinc looks to be my best bet. The top and bottom tangs seem to be longer than most of the standard ones they show. 4-3/8" from the flat back of the boxlock to the end of the tang.

They are still in business. Maybe they can help.
