I was just at Gunstock Inc. I took a stock from my old knight rifle over to see if he could make a new one to fit my 9 year old boy. He said it would be a while, maybe a month or two!! But we talked for a while and I mentioned I shot an encore. He said, well he would give me a throw away shock for my boy to fit my encore. The only thing that was wrong with it, is that it had a chip at the end of the grip!!! He even cut it down to fit him!!! Did I say it was a FREE thumb-hole stock!!! I just wanted to say he is top notch!!! I will be buying a knew encore stock set from him. I had a good time talking to him for several hours!!!! If anybody wants to buy an encore stock or any other stock, this is the guy!!! Hell, my boys were having fun with his wife and she took them to the garden and gave them 4 huge cucumbers to take home!!! I don't know why we don't know each other. He went to school with my dad and he only lives about 10 miles from me!!! But I do have a new friend!!!!
