Hello, after recommendations on here concerning a new stock for my M1842 project, I contacted Dunlap Woodcrafts about their reproduction stocks.
What are your experiences with these stocks? I did receive some answers from them to my questions but it is not clear to me that the ramrod channel will be cut as well as the recess for the ramrod spoon.
They did say the recesses for the band springs are not cut and I will have to do this which is not that big of a deal however properly locating them will be a challenge without an original stock for reference. Are there any patterns available for an original M1842 stock I could find to overlay and properly locate the areas to be cut?
