[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1457883, member: 101859"] Actually its pretty simple. I have made a fiberglass stock. From the wood pattern, the mold, layup, fill, inlet and paint. Its all hand work, theres not much a machine can do other than the inlet. Second is profit. There is not much profit in the custom gun part world so the big money stays out. Most are small family businesses and they are not getting rich. Now if you want to pay $2k for a composite stock I bet someone would make the investment in a serious shop and the tech to make them faster because at that point they could make real money. The custom stocks, actions, and barrels we buy today are a hell of a value. More than one person has asked why I dont get into the action business. When there are customs selling for $800 and less why would anyone want to get into making actions? I know how to make a composite stock, I have the materials here too. Mcmillan cant take my money fast enough, I'll never make another. [/QUOTE]
