Who makes custom Encore stocks?
« on: June 23, 2008, 02:11:51 PM »
I am looking to outfit my encore (and Contender) with custom stocks.  The new furniture will be Schnable forends and non-thumbhole rifle stocks in a nice grade of wood.  I know of Bullberry, Boyd's, TC Custom shop, and Gunstocks Inc, and have found Otter's, Ole Georgia Jim, and High Plains Gunstocks through Google. 

Thanks to the info in these GBO forums E Arthur Brown Co is not being considered.   Can anyone recommend any maker on the list or provide alternate stockmakers?  Any suggestions or experience would be helpful.  It will be a big expense and I want to do it right by learning from those of you who have gone this path. 

Appreciate it.

All of my custom pistol/rifle TC wood was made and fitted to me by Bullberry.    If I ever buy anymore, it also will come from Fred.

I have bought 2 LH thumbhole stocks for Arrthur Brown.  I have been dealing with them for quite a few years, and have been very satisfied with their products, and customer service.  The lady that answers the phone has always been very friendly, and helpful to me.  Sorry to hear about your bad experiences, but I have always enjoyed dealing with them.  Tom.

If you want to do some of the work yourself I recommend Gunstocks Inc.  Great to deal with and really responsive.  You do the last bit of shaping to get it to what you want, then finish to your specs.  I have had them increase lop for me on rifle stocks, and gotten the product in days.  Wood quality is excellent.

Rockin' Double B,
I have had Bullberry do two custom stocks, one for my contender (which used their wood) and one for my encore (where I sent them a blank of Claro Walnut) and they also made up a handgun grip and forearm for my encore pistol out of what was left from the rifle blank of Claro...excellent work and I would have them do another if I had need for another.  The fit, finish and way the stock comes up to the shoulder putting the scope right on is super.  No other experience with anyone else on your list.  Thanks for asking - Fearless
