Does anyone have any ideas of how a walnut stock could be had for a kimber Talkeetna? Would be open to anything that works within reason… What I’ve tried so far is to get Kimber to sell me a Caprivi stock, which they were polite about, but would not/could not make that happen. Any other ways to get one? If not, reasonably priced stock makers? Even a roughly inlet blank maybe.
If this question should be asked somewhere else let me know and I’ll move it, just thought this would be the place to start. Thanks!

Don't know how reasonably priced this was, but check out THIS THREAD for an amazing custom stock on a Kimber if you haven't seen it already.

Ben, we need to pull yours out of the stock and look at the footprint to see what it might be able to fit.

Jesse Grove at Custom Rifle Stocks in Aaronsburg PA does good duplicator work. From there you could finish it yourself or have it done. I'd use him over Richards MF any day based on the stocks I've got from both.

Why?
Sell the Talkeetna and buy a Caprivi.

Why?
Sell the Talkeetna and buy a Caprivi. AB, Because of the stainless barreled action. I really enjoy walnut stocks, even on heavily used rifles, but stainless parts sure make some of the wetter hunts easier. A couple of my favorite rifles, that do get a decent amount of field use, are blued and walnut, and although far from impossible, maintaining them throughout a hunting season in AK can be a chore. So the stainless/walnut combo has become a nice middle ground where I enjoy some of the warmth and character of a walnut stock, but don’t have to be as worried about corrosion etc.
