Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Anyone use Ebay for their custom stock needs?

I have had some pretty good luck recently finding some nice stocks, at unbelieveable prices if you are willing to do a little work. About a month ago I made an offer on this pre inletted blank that was listed at $275 OBO. He accepted my offer to my suprise. It finished pretty nicely just need to send it off for checkering.




I also found this blank that I will be using for a little 7x57 Brno 21 that I am working on. Cut in 1965, from an old gunsmith estate. Cant wait until I get it finished.


Another stock from Gunbroker that still needs to be checkered




I have another Beautiful French Walnut stock for a featherweight with a Griffin and Howe style cheek piece and an inletted Neidner-style checkered steel butt plate that is being checkered right now, It might be prettier that either one of these that was less that $100.

Beautimous😀

Very, very nice pieces. You're having very good luck and obviously have a good eye for wood in the rough...

I agree with Bob. Love your sig line, Bob and I'm sorry, but I have to steal it.

Those are beautiful blanks and stocks. Sounds like you got them for less than half of what most blank dealers want, I may be over estimating but I feel that blank you have for the Brno would be well over a grand from most places probably a lot more. It's close to exhibition grade.

You do beautiful work!

I use eBay to search for old sporter stocks for Mausers/P14/M1917/1903’s. Nothing as fancy as you have there but eBay is a great place to get a lot of things, specially for sporters.

I love those walnut stocks, and the blank has beautiful figure, but I like maple also, and just got this for $177.50.

It's inletted for a 98 Mauser. Sounds ideal for a 7.62/8x68 FN Mauser I'm planning.
