Richards Microfit has been in business a long time. So long that I was using their stocks when I first started gunsmithing back in 1981, and they had been around a while at that time. They sell pre-carved semi-inletted stock blanks, not drop-in stocks already sanded, finished and ready to go. Their pre-carved stock blanks are just that, a pre-carved stock blank, not a finished stock. Yes, their stocks can be kind of rough, but the wood they use is typically very nice for the price paid.
I am in the process of stocking a pre-war Winchester Model 70 in a piece of black walnut from Richards, and the stock is well-inletted, has a slight cast-off, has good grain structure throughout he stock, the grip area, and the forearm. I have about 5 hours into the stock already, and in another 2 or 3 hours, I will be finish sanding it. I have bought stocks from many other stock blank suppliers over the years, and Richards' stock blanks are among the better ones. Are there better stock blanks available? Sure! But thir blanks are pretty good.
Hawg- If you really want to get that maple stock finished, give me a call. My shop name is in my signature line.
