Thanks all.
Justin, looks like we're not too far apart. Would you take on the job of pre-64 into Winlite?
Ballpark estimate?
Brazos,
The bedding job on the Weatherby above has about $50 in materials, and maybe 4 hours of my time. A Winlite stock would also require a stabilizer (stiffening) epoxy before the bedding job and some additional inletting. Those adding hours and materials will increase the price for your particular job.
There are lots of smiths around who specialize in stock work and who can do a good, stress-free pillar bed job for around $200. Maybe you would be adding another $50 or so for the extra stiffening and inletting on the Winlite. Honestly, I just can't compete with this price. If you are near Snohomish County, I can make some recommendations for you.
Justin
