Gunsmithing 03 A3 Composit stock in stock anywhere

[toddconley]

i have a 03 A3 that has been spoterized. I need a stock. B&C makes one. No one has it in stock. Any body know o a better stock for this action or who has the BC in stock. Probably would take a laminate as well. This is of course for a sporter application. Pretty well searched the net over. Going to call monday and see how long it takes striaght from the factory.

I have a B&C stock on a 1903 sporter, and at least the one I have is a <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">total POS.</span></span> I had it shipped directly to the gunsmith who was barreling the action for me (for free), and he altered the stock before I ever saw it. I would doubtless have returned it otherwise! Since he was building the rifle for free, I figured I couldn't complain to the gunsmith too much.

The barrel channel was crooked, and the rear TG screw hole was about an inch off-center. Since he had already milled the barrel channel to be able to seat the barreled action in the stock, I was stuck with it. It took a LOT of work to make it functional, and it looks like ass.

While I would <span style="font-style: italic">probably</span> buy a B&C stock for a popular rifle like a Remington, I will never again order one for an uncommon rifle.
