Chuck H,

Thanks, nice wood on his site. At those prices, I may purchase a few just because.

Jimmy W,

All of Cecil's 2 piece stocks come with a matching forend. He has 30,000 blanks in stock. Incredible selection! You email him your wants and price range. He keeps sending pictures until you find something you like. Dakota Arms and Fred Wenig buy from him among others.

Here's an interesting Turkish Walnut rifle blank I'm having made into a custom stock for a Win. 70 in .375 H&H. I bought this from a company called Denli A.H. in Switzerland (their mill is in Turkey.) They have lots of nice looking Circassian Walnut on their site if anyone is interested. I'll post the link below, as well.

Well, maybe I have been looking in the wrong place for stocks?

Jimmy- Have you contacted Pete Hiat? He's an advertiser on this board so he can be found with the list of advertisers. All these years on this board, I've only heard one complaint and as it unfolded it proved meritless. Might give him a look.

RBL #3X received in November I believe. could have received it in Sept but I said I wanted all the engraving.
Case color finish. Engraving is as good as any machined type out there even under 7X.-Dick

This was a $2500 blank a few years ago purchased from John Ramagli of Kolar personally. Kolar works in English walnut. I spent a morning in the thier wood room looking at blanks. I found nothing. I don't like English walnut but american black with full feather.
The RBL stock is as nice on the other side as the pictured side.
CSMC delivered exactly what I wanted at a reasonable price. Before i purchased the blank from John, i had all the individuals that sell blanks listed above send me pictures. Not one met my needs. When I explained the problem to John, he reached into a cabinet in his office and pulled out the pictured piece of wood. I then wrote another check to John. When the gun is ready for refinishing, the engraving will be upgraded. the engraving pictured is 'old style' Kolar.
I don't really care for anything other than feather crotch American Black Walnut and CSMC fully met my expectations.

Dick,
Now that is nice!!!

Dick,
Very very good lookin guns, both. I wished I could have felt assured I'd have gotten as good an RBL as you and Mark.

Hi Mark,

Spectacular. I ordered identical config December 20th 06. I saw few pictures of great exibition black walnut since and that made me uncertain if I made the right choice of wood but your gun gave me confort that Claro could be just as nice and in your case even better. I thin I will stick with it. My only little concern is that since I ordered toward end of the year even that I paid in full my gun will be made toward the end of the run. I worry that quality might slip by then. But there is no better alternative. It would be a nightmare for me if I did not ordered and even worse ordered and then canceled. These guns will be worth at least 2 times as much by the time the last ones will be delivered. Not that it would matter to me since I do not sell any gun I buy no matter what it is but I would not be able to afford to pay that much more for it by then. Enjoy.

You really think people will be able to get $7k for a case colored exhibition wood RBL in two years?

That would make Parker Repros seem like the bargain of a century by comparison...
