    Ever since bigger stock companies have "trimmed the fat" for stock inlets, the tempo here has gone bezerk.

    This is our "bedding ready" inlet for the M77 action from Ruger. It's now a std service. The receiver surfaces are offset by +.05" so that the resin casting isn't paper-thin in some spots and fat in others.

    I model and program code for new stuff as it comes in. I've always played the long game with this kind of work, so if you send it in, it'll be done at the normal rate we charge.

    That's the easy part. The other half of this is that the tempo around here has pushed our lead times out quite a ways. You'll have to be willing to live without your parts for a while. Right now, we are calculating a 2-year lead on full-build stock work. That leaves a taste in my mouth I'm not fond of, but its the reality for now. Growth is never cheap...
