Qualified Gunsmith - Carbon Stock Work

[trogers861]

I'm in search of a qualified gunsmith that has a lot of experience working on carbon stocks. If you saw my thread a couple months back of the local smith who butchered my stock--I now have the replacement and am looking for someone that can install four flush cups and a javelin bipod mount in the stock.

Poor Gunsmithing - Carbon Stock Modification Gone Bad

Well I recently purchased a new Weatherby Backcountry Ti 2.0 in 6.5CM. I have flush cups on a few other rifles and really like not having anything protruding from the stock since I usually don't have my rifle on a sling (its on my pack). I also wanted to get the recess mount installed for my...

You could do it yourself. I've done a bunch of flush cups and pic rails in carbon fiber stocks over the years and I'm about average with hand and power tools. I've got great results with household tools, taking my time and paying attention.

The only tools that you're likely going to have to buy is a tap and a forstner bit.

TS Customs does really good stock work.

Talked to Travis and he isn't interested. Will try Shaen.

If only shipping the stock you may want to consider people who work almost exclusively with carbon. Calfee Design is highly regarded for their carbon bike frame repairs and may be worth a call. As much work as they do with complex bike frames it seems like your request should be relatively easy. Good luck
