[QUOTE="briarcreekguy, post: 1869860, member: 16975"] I have to disagree. He might not have the tools to do the job quickly, but if he is persistant, it can be done. When I was a kid, my dad made a replacement stock for a shot gun, out of walnut. He only used, hand saws, wood rasps, sand paper, maybe an electric drill and a pocket knife. It looked like the factory stock when he was finished. When he sold the old Browning, it was still on there. How many of our ancestors carved new stocks for there old Brown Bess or other old gun, sitting by the fire in winter time. I think that is one of the faults of our modern society, that people feel like if you don't have a half a million dollars in tools, that a project shouldn't be started. I say go for it! [/QUOTE]
