<span style="font-style: italic">Rifle Stocks:
Services Page regarding stock work
We are committed to the idea that a rifle stock needs to look as good taken apart as it does when assembled. The care and quality invested in our inletting and pillar bedding demonstrates this philosophy. The use of unpainted, unfinished, and uninletted stock blanks is a vital component of this process and is why LongRifles Inc. will only build rifles on stocks that are free of any/all finish and inletting work.* Customers who wish to supply a stock are encouraged to do so but we require that all stock blanks be ordered in either a plain gel coat or unfinished wood so that they can be completed to our standards. * (Terry Leonard carbon/wood laminate Benchrest stocks are an exception) </span>
In a nutshell:
We ALWAYS start with virgin blanks. How we get there can range from brand new blanks from any marquee vendor or by us building a stock back up and starting over.
We ALWAYS apply finish to the stocks. Emphasis on ALWAYS.
Please take a moment and review this if considering us to do your stock work. Custom doesn't come in a box Ladies and Germs. It requires some additional effort. If you'd like a skim bedded, gel coated, blueprinted with a tap rifle then god bless you and we wish you the best in your endeavor.
Our methods, processes, and finished products are done differently. It's been that way from the start and I'll close the doors for good long before I ever consider changing it.
Please be mindful of this, understand it, and embrace it before contacting us for gunwork. Otherwise one of us might as well be speaking Farsi. I won't understand you and vise verse.
All the best,
Chad.
