And try to find an original Parker straight grip guard... they require no extra work to make them look "right". All it should need is the serial number changed and reblueing.

I agree with all options presented above. I am leaning toward Ronald Moore's suggestion. Send the gun and new stock to Brad to fit. He is reasonable and quick. In making the new trigger guard from the old he will be able to fit it correctly to the inletting. I have used Brad on several projects and could not be more pleased with his work.

Frank,
What firm in MO did you get the semi-Inletted stock from? There is one in MO that is notorious for this type of stuff so I would not be surprised if it is them. If you asked for a PG stock and got a SG stock, there is no excuse for that. And they should make the situation right.

Brian,
The firm I used was Wenig Gunstocks. I too have read some negative reviews of the work of another Missouri based company so I steered clear. Like I said, I sent a couple of pics of the stock including the butt-plate since I wasn't sure how or even if the inletting would be done for this area since I understand that such stocks are shipped a little long with the expectation that the LOP adjustment is part of the final fitting. As shipped the LOP measures about 2 inches longer than what I specified so I'm also a little surprised that the butt is actually inletted for a skeleton plate, which I would love to have but of course is useless since the the length needs 2 inches chopped off. Is this type of service typical for this sort of thing or did this company swing and miss on this one? |

For the record I just received the stock on Friday and have yet not contacted Wenig to make them aware of the issues. I wanted to get some advice on my options here first since I REALLY like how the wood turned out.

Frank,
I would have expected it was Macon. I have not had any direct experiences working with Wenig's product. I cannot express strongly enough to people to stay away from Macon.
