[QUOTE="aebhunter, post: 1295786, member: 72979"] Sounds exactly like the the story of my stock. The time frames are rather vague, mine spent at least 3 months in the "inletting" phase. I finally got a hold of Tom and he was incredibly helpful, and I ended up getting my stock after almost 9 months. Apparently they are having a tough time keeping up with the demand, and clearly their manufacturing process can't keep up. I ordered the EH1A and it is a nice stock, but I was actually sort of underwhelmed when I got it. For the price, I thought the fit and finish would be a little nicer. The allen screw that tightens and loosens the cheekpiece was full of some type of coating and it was pretty hard to get the wrench in to adjust. There we also a few burrs and imperfections in the intletting. Nothing the smith couldn't fix, but for 800 plus dollars I would expect a "perfect" finished product. Like anything, the market will end up sorting it out. If the people who are willing to wait and pay a premium outweigh the folks who don't, they will continue to succeed. If not, some other company will fill the gap. [/QUOTE]
