So this unfortunate model 93, 22WM was in my house with 5.5’ of water for three days.
Dropped off the gun at LGS and they went to it. 2 years later still not done… the issue… getting a stock. Also, my son dropped it off so I had to work through him to get updates and eventually the rifle back Ohne (without) the stock.
I see why they had trouble, but eventually I found Richards Microfit Stocks in Sun Valley CA.
I’m more than impressed. They CNC stocks for rifles. This is my FIL’s gun, so doing my best to return it as good as received or better as it’s on track. Next up I’ll stain the wood and apply a nice finish that brings out the grain. Look at the color and grain in this $122 stock. This is their standard grade. They have super delux grades and intermediate as well.
I noticed one mistake I made. For $29 they would have put the gun sling mounts in the stock. Will probably cost me that in parts alone.
Really wanted you guys to see the raw stock now. I imagine it will be months before finished as 1) still working, 2) OCD and 3) I tend to over think things…
Richards company name on my invoice.
Their web site is findable if you choose to go look.
I had looked at many of the usuals, but evidently most savage 93’s are heavy barrels and I didn’t want that sloppy look on this one. These guys just ran the spotter barrel program. Holes line up beautifully…
I’ll return to the thread when it’s don’t and give a close out report
