Who has a recommendation for pantograph treatment of stock blanks. I have finished several stocks but don't work directly with the blank.

Try this fellow, LC. Been several years since he did "turned" a blank for me, but I was well pleased. I can't guarantee the info is correct, given the amount of time that has passed but, maybe ......

There is probably some one closer to you on the West Coast, but Dan Rossiter, Custom Stocks and Steel, Athens, PA, 570-888-5509, will cut your wood or supply wood for you. He cut a fore end for me, reasonable in price and time.

Good luck.

Do you have a pattern ? The old stock to make it into a pattern?

I'm a little confused, LC. Are you going to drive it there, or send it? If you're sending it, what does it matter if it goes to the east coast or the west? A few dollars difference in shipping costs, at the most?

I have two recommendations that I have used extensively over the years. The first is Gene Simillion in Colorado Gene does very fine work and is my go to guy for exacting work on complicated stocks. He is expensive but worth every penny. The second is Donnie Gemmes (Show-me-gunstocks) in Missouri. Donnie also does fine work on less complicated stock. He is also very inexpensive, I've told him he needs to raise his prices.

I only use duplicated stocks if I have a very good pattern to use. It saves the client a lot of money. If I don't it's the old "from the blank". A current project is a Remington rolling block #2 frame with a sporter style stock. It will be " from the blank".
