I don't know if any of you saw my initial post over in shotguns, but I'm thinking of purchasing the full "field" stock for my little .410 Snake Charmer, made ostensibly by Verney-Carron USA (Kansas), although when you call their number you get YBE Incorporated, and have to get to extention 101 for Verney-Carron. God only knows how many other extensions there are.
V-C USA insists that stocks must (repeat: MUST) be sent to an FFL holder, by law, that it's not just company policy.
This just can't be right... if it is, how on earth did I order my Ruger 10/22 stock? Or how did my friend order two different stocks for his Remington 870? This sounds like lawyerese to me, though for what reason I can't fathom. Maybe their afraid I might beat someone to death with the new stock?
I already tried to fabricate my own, but the receiver on the .410 is very small, very narrow, and is held in place by a series of two lugs and a bolt/nut combination... not easy to replicate on a solid wood stock. I do have some ideas, though, for a second attempt.
Anyone have a solid answer on this for me?
