Any particular reason he is not doing the stock for you?
I can't afford him. Shane charges about twice what most builders do. With a stock like Shane builds most of the work is below the wood line anyway. We talked about him doing the whole gun but I just couldn't swing it. It was just too much. Shane understood, He's a blue collor worker too.
Funny thing is, his prices for dupication are very reasonable and he'll do copies of his own patterns.
IMO, it all worked out for the best. There is a new guy on the scene that is building some rifles I drool over. The stocks he builds have the lines that I seem to be drawn to in a custom rifle. His name is James Anderson and I feel VERY fortunate to have secured a place in line for him to stock it. I couldn't afford a rifle by both builders but I'll have a little of both in this rifle.
