What dimensions do you require? When I run a stock on my duplication machine, I try to use the original stock, but often I cannot since the stock is being replaced due to manly damage and the original is not suitable for a pattern. Or, it is not worth taking the time to repair when I can just use a pattern that I have on hand.
Obviously if the dimensions you require are abnormal, your original can be modified and use as a pattern.
Another issue with just trusting an off the shelf duplication is that there is a lot of variation in these guns, especially in the rear tangs and the amount of bend they have. So, unless your original stock is duplicated, or your action is checked against the pattern to be used, there is a chance for issues.
