Fitting a stock takes a lot of time. I picked up a nice set of wood for an Ithaca 37 when Fajen went out of business many years ago. I seemed to put a lot of time after dinner over several winter months to get it to fit correctly. I smoked the metal and slowly removed wood and then got all the contours right on the exterior of the stock that was 90% fitted. Then came the refinishing, and fitting the forearm and finally fitting and grinding the butt recoil pad. Long story short, I said I would never do that again. I would rather pay a gunsmith. A lot of hours. The result was absolutely beautiful. I gave the shotgun to my son. It will be passed down. But it was a lot of work.
