    CS used to make their stock on a copy lathe and used to turn a fair range of stocks out, incuding stocks for the Diana 48/52.

    Unfortunately they use CNC now.
    I wonder how hard it is to program in new inlettings?

    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    I've no experience in CNC programming, but like you I wondered.
    It took CS long time to decide to offer a stock for the 99, so guessing there's a reasonable amount of work involved

    I suspect in the grand scheme of things it isn’t that much to set up, it’s whether there would be a return on the investment.

    I’d be up for a Goldstar stock, but I expect the actual numbers who would join me wouldn’t be that great.

    Laser scanning may be a way to go. They could get some one into scan a factory stock then they could program it into the CNC machines.

    Not sure if they would recoup the costs though.
