Well Clampdaddy the last time I checked this was still a free country and I can post, browse, reply, register, etc. etc. as often or the least amount that I want and I do not need your feeble permission to do so.
I have browsed the pages of the doublegunshop.com for many years but when I saw your post condemning a company for what seems to be you incompetence I just had to register and set things straight.
Any NID I have restocked has never had wood on the front of the stock that protrudes into the receiver, the Flues and the earlier models all had the wood that fit into the inside of the receiver but I have never seen any NID with that and I have worked on hundreds of them. I will post a picture of a factory NID buttstock later so you can see what one looks like from Ithaca.
I will also post a picture of a factory forend compared to a forend from Gunstocks Inc. to show there is no difference in length and is exactly correct for the gun which the forend was made for.
I think some of you are getting some of the gunstock companies mixed up with each other, Gunstocks Inc., Gunstocks.com, and macon are all different companies. It seems a lot of the gunstock companies have added Gunstocks Inc. to their names in order to try and feed off the actual Gunstocks Inc. companies name and there success.
I will post pictures latter.
Hereis a picture of the front of a factoey original NID buttstock from a gun we are going to restock with wood from Gunstocks Inc. As you can see there is no wood protruding from the front of the stock that would fit inside the receiver, if there was wood inside the recever the hammers would not cock and the cocking indicators would not function.
Also here is a pic of the original forend compaired to the Gunstocks Inc. forend, as you can see the forends are the same length.
