i completely understand where youre coming from with the "shoddy" statement especially since i only own a dremel, angle grinder, drill press, etc. which makes really nasty cuts. thats easily solved with heavy sanding/filing. i would have bought a $1500-$2000 milling machine but id rather spend my money on more firearms and stocks instead.
its not going to happen anytime soon. although i keep getting request online and in person to sell these, i keep declining people to make them one because i simply dont have the proper machine like a milling machine to do cleaner cuts than a dremel/angle grinder. even if/when i do purchase a milling machine for personal use, i wouldnt want to go into business because it requires me to have an FFL license to manufacture these stocks and pay expensive ITAR fees to the DoD which makes no sense for me if i were to do these part time. i make pretty good money with my full time job and just doing these as a hobby for my own collection
id rather guide people who are genuinely interested to do it themselves and just offer my advice for free or just have them take it to a local gunsmith and pay them $75/hour to customize it. at least they have the proper tools/milling machine to do cleaner cuts.
