Has anyone had any experience with this outfit? I have a 1899-A rat that needs a buttstock. I'd like to hunt with it this year so I figured I better get cracking. https://www.carolinagunstocks.com/savage-arms.html

Facebook page shows them to be using a duplicator. When you ask for prices, I'd ask for pictures of a 1899 stock they've created, or at least of the stock they use as a pattern. https://www.facebook.com/carolinagunstocks/

Since they have a Facebook page you shoud ask them to post some pictures of their 99 stocks as there might be a "forum" of guys interested in seeing their wares. And one would think that is what a FB page for a business would be all about.

I asked them to post some pics on FB and they sent me a link to their website.

What's the problem with your stock? Maybe it's repairable? If you'd find a used stock it would likely still require some fitting work. A duplicate stock will definitely require some fitting work. Certainly doable, just something to factor in.

It has numerous cracks, a chunk missing and Bubba put a couple wood screws through the side many years ago. It's hammered!

I'm not familiar with them, but whatever you do make sure whoever turns you a stock knows what they're doing. A 99 stock can be a miserable thing to fit if the inletting is cattywumpus to start.
