revenger 473 Posted April 2, 2017 Does anyone know of a supplier of semi finished rifle stocks, inletted and non-inletted. I used to buy them from Fajen 20-30 years ago and they are no longer around. want to make a few fancy grade stocks for a few of my rifles and cant seem to find a company like Fajen. They had a good selection of various woods from all over as well as a lot of different designs. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pasu0115 200 Posted April 2, 2017 Boyds gun stocks. They make lots of different stocks for all types of guns in a variety of woods. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted April 2, 2017 Fajen is gone, Lett is gone. a few a others as well. Fantastic Plastic has shown them the door. Now a niche business for custom work that you pay dearly for. Macon Gunstocks now owns/runs what was left of Fajen and Bishop. Could see if they fit your needs. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parker 213 Posted April 3, 2017 A couple: http://www.turkishwalnut.net/gunstocks.html http://www.wenig.com (Fred Wenig worked at Fajen) If I look hard enough I bet I can find the old Bishop and Reinhart Fajen color catalogs in my basement. They were something to look at back then. Now folks are auctioning off the old catalogs for up to $25. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
revenger 473 Posted April 5, 2017 thanks for the replies, I guess with all the new polymers, plastics and composite stocks people are not interested in wood that much anymore. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Bill 649 Posted April 5, 2017 Hard to find quality old timber and expensive to process. Even your jambs on new doors is a type of pine wood from China. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parker 213 Posted April 5, 2017 Beautiful wood flawlessly finished and perfectly fitted to steel by craftsmen is a dying art. Another fine gunmaker on the brink of perishing: http://shootingsportsman.com/arrieta-ceases-production/?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Shooting+Sportsman+Insider&_hsenc=p2ANqtz---_J-4IZKCQccWeVV9Mt5grtJ5FiiN6uNt0dnkmt60I73piyJ5efUWMuE1T8OlpzWELuw6aEtsxBcUhKVXwz_jQkONgw&_hsmi=49923785&utm_content=49923785&hsCtaTracking=d0313dce-388d-4202-bf25-ed17944ad10e%7Ce1bfa74b-f1b0-4a12-acf3-a0039f270a76 Nope, they never stooped to stock anything in plastic.
