I have a Browning A-bolt Micro left hand in 243 Win. I would like to put it in a traditional style synthetic stock. It will require custom inletting. Who could do this for me? Any and all recommendations are appreciated. Thank you.

I inquired about a discontinued mcmillan inlet and they reccoemnded tm stock works or long rifles inc. For custom inlets it might be a bit spendy from long rifles inc.

There's someone on this forum that has the capability to do what you want

Hello Everyone,

In early 2016 I started offering CNC inletting on our Techno CNC router as a service to get a better fit and finish on my customers stocks. The barreled action is laser scanned and brought up in Rhino CAD. Through Visual Mill we're able to produce an action inlet that is prepped and ready for pillars and a barrel channel with perfectly even clearances on each side and a little extra underneath. For best finish results a painted finish is recommended. I can do molded in finished stocks but as we cut the ejection port, bolt notch and tang are they will need to be touched up to match the finish as best we can.

Here's a short video I did CNC inletting a Manners EH-1 for a Stiller TAC300 and Brux #4 contour. The bottom metal is cut in a different fixture ( sorry no video yet ) and positioned off the pillar holes cut in the action inlet. This ensures the bottom metal is cut exactly 180* from the barreled action and has a perfect fit. Both the barreled action and bottom metal must be in hand and each is test fitted before removing the stock from the machine.

Have you tried Stocky's Stocks? They offer quite a variety.

Suppoose some follow ups would have been helpful, had worked under tbe assumption you had an existing stock but needed an inlet.

Are you needing an entire stock or do you already have one in mind?

Does it need to be a traditional glass on core or would a bell and carlson type work?

Ive a bell and carlson browning micro sporter on a wssm and it is a decent stock. Not a mcmillan or manners, but it was also cheaper than the cost to inlet a flat top.

Mcmillan for the micro will probably be a flat top order that needs one of the services I previously linked. An expensive option.

Oregon gunsmithing has several that seem to work well with the smaller action platforms. Probably be dollars ahead for one of those over a flat top.

Thank you for the suggestions. I am following up on all leads. I am looking for a new synthetic stock.
