		Q: What kind of woods do we use in the manufacturing of gunstocks? A: Primarily kiln dried Black Walnut. Very stable, very machinable , very durable. Typically on the darker side, usually yields a nice color and grain pattern from plain to semi-fancy. We also use, on a limited basis, Hard Rock Maple, ( blonde in color), high grade Claro or highly figured Walnut, and some laminates. For our AK stock line, we also use Russian or Finnish made Birch Laminate. This material is basically identical to the stocks found on original Russian and Eastern European AK47s. Q: What kinds of stocks and products do we manufacture? A: We primarily manufacture reproduction military gun stocks for the AK-47 & the FN FAL. We also produce exotic Ruger 10/22 bullpup conversions and various 10/22 accessories. Recently we ventured into knife handle production, for Foster Knives, an Lone Wolf Knives. In 2005, we plan to offer numerous new stocks, including HK, AR-15, RPK, possibly Robinson M96, and some new 10/22 items. The site will be updated as we progress. Q: How do we manufacture our products? A: In the past we used a manual 4 spindle carving machine, a traditional stock making pantograph. The carved stocks were then put through three stages of sanding, starting at 100 grit, ending with 220. We now have a copy lathe that automatically cuts and sands the external profile of the part. We can, in one pass, cut a stock and sand it to a very clean 180 grit. The part is then placed into a CNC router that inlets, or finish cuts, the blank to fit the the rifle, swivel etc.. The CNC router is a 4 axis computer run machine that works off of a program and cuts the part automatically to a very high tolerance. See the Factory page for more. Q: What is our warranty? A: We back all of our products 100%. If there is a problem with one of our products due to faulty wrokmanship, we will replace or repair at no cost, no problem. Q: What is a stock kit? A: A stock kit is an unfinished stock set, 99% sanded and fitted. We usually leave a little extra material on the ends of the parts to allow you to custom contour the stock to your rifle and to your taste. It is too risky to build a kit stock to an exact profile, as all military rifle specs can and do vary. This ensures that the stock are not too small and that they can be fitted and shaped to an accurate representaion of the original model. Q: Do we do custom work? A: Not currently, unless it's simply a custom modification to one of our existing products. Q: Do we do finished stock sets ? A: We do some when time allows. Quotes are given upon request
