DG, I've built a good many guns from stocks from Fajen when Reinhart owned it.....and they was far superior to what Richards sold me.....even the one stock I managed to get from Fajens when Midway run the show was superior to Richards.....sorry.....a little sanding stock maybe......but what I got from Richards was unacceptable.....almost like buying nothing at all!! I was pissed!!!!
