Hey guys,

Just got my stock in yesterday from Chris Wallis (cwa11is) and put it together. Absolutely love it, he did a great job! I asked him to make me one similar to the A-5 and he nailed it! Haven't got it painted yet, but I had to put it together as soon as it came in so I could go shoot it. Feels really nice, and I can't really tell the difference from my A-5. Very strong and sturdy as well. Here are some quick pictures I took this afternoon. Sorry, but they're not the greatest. I'll get some better ones up this weekend, after it gets some Krylon.

Re: Savage Mark II trainer

Sorry guys, just got off work and didn't have a chance to respond.

The stock he made me is a 3-ply laminate red oak. His website is www.wallisforge.com. Cost was $185 plus $15 shipping. It took just under three weeks to get it from him.

Chris did a great job on it, and good communication from him as well. I looked at the Sharp Shooter Supply stocks and the ones from Richards Micro Fit. They were nice but not exactly what I wanted. When I called Richards to ask them what stock was closest to the A-5, the guy I spoke with told me he didn't know what an A-5 was!! WOW!

Sent Chris a few PM's and had all the confidence that he new what I wanted. Plus I didn't want to wait six to ten weeks for a stock from the other companies. Guess I'm impatient like that though. I'll get more pics up after it gets painted.

Thanks...ANDY
 
Re: Savage Mark II trainer

Did you have to send him the action or did he have a pattern?I guess he can do any Savage...what about other actions?Or was this a one-off custom?
Sure looks real nice!
 
Re: Savage Mark II trainer

He already had the specs for the Savage Mark II to do the inletting. All I had to do when I got it from him was take the plastic "tupperware" stock off and drop the action and barrel into the new one. I think he does 10/22's as well.
 
Re: Savage Mark II trainer

check out the thread toward the bottom of the first page for rimfire section. Thread is titled "Savage MkII stock" by Warpspeed I think. That is Chris' work.
