OK, guys, serious question here. An acquaintance planning on making replacement gunstocks for Swiss rifles and carbines, has been stiffed by a lumber dealer in Yakima, WA.
Here is what is needed - NOT stock blanks, but real American walnut planks, as detailed here -
'For the k11 and k31 - 10" x 2.25"(or thicker) x 42" planks. Not stock blanks, but planks. This gives a diagonal cut with 8" on the end and 2" on the nose. Those sizes are optimal. A stock blank would have to be 8" x 2.25" x 42".
For the 1911 types we’ll need the same dimensions with the length being 51", and that’s going to be harder to find.’
Any help on this important [to those of us who have an interest in Swiss military arms], please contact me without delay on [email protected]
Supplier can be anywhere in the lower 48, but preferably somewhere in the PNW zone - the stockmaker is based in Montana.
TIA
