Nobody. No bargains. You have got Arts, but he sends it out. Not sure about Midwest, I think they do in house. Basically the labor is the same whether they are doing a grade 1 or a midas grade. Somewhat. With the exception of the wood. Most are very backed up. A few others can do it but all the same.

Here's a wild-ass guess at what you're asking:
Decent piece of American or better, English(French, Circassian,) - $700-$1000. Never skimp on wood when doing a restock.
Stocking and checkering by a really capable wood man - $2000
Others here may have a better estimate.

It would be less money to find a Superposed with the wood you need all ready on it. That being said, this guy has done some work for me in the past: https://murraysgunstocks.com/home-about-usHe did a fantastic job. Well known for stocks on LC Smith guns. Best, Ted

If I were you, I would contact Wenig stocks and get some info on them. I talked with them a while back and if you send them your wood, they can recut you a new stock just like yours. And you can choose your piece of wood and the grade. There may be a wait, and I don't see any new wood being inexpensive anywhere. If you try to buy used wood on the internet you might get lucky, but you can ask- why is this person getting rid of this wood. Good luck.

Unless you are looking for a custom fitted stock, I would look on ebay and guns international for a used original Browning super stock. They seem to be out there fairly commonly.

JR A really capable wood man would be better off doing almost anything else. High school kids doing low skill jobs make that much per hour.

We have one guy at our club who was taking a $2.00 2x4 from Home Depot and making butt stocks for model 12s. They shot just as good as the original ones. But boy they were ugly . 🤣

I have got a stick that needs a project. Unfortunately, just black walnut, so not really shotgun material for me. It is good to hear about some quality stockers that i might use when I finally decide on a project. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/eVduoR1.jpeg)

Fellows, Who could I send an old Superposed Browning 12 ga. to who could do a good job and not break the bank? Thanks, Sandlapper There are hundreds of them listed on the web: https://www.gunsinternational.com/g...posed-lightning-12g.cfm?gun_id=102719365Pick one that suits. $1500 wouldn’t buy a fitted blank of nice wood. Best, Ted
