Some of you must know...what is the going price to stock a sidelock these days. An AYA for example...Straight grip.

Depends a lot on the wood you select and the finish you want. I was looking at a nice SxS that had a ridiculously short stock and was quoted 6K for a re-stock in my choice of wood; oil finish.
I have restocked boxlocks myself but I wouldn't try a sidelock. Perhaps you can get an inletted blank for your AyA and then do the final fitting yourself.

I don't know if he is on here much, but Dennis Smith is a great stocker. He works out of Oregon and goes by, "The Stock Doctor." His work for me was superb and he was always generous with his time.

Mike,
You can restock it yourself, I know you can. Perhaps as Gnomon mentioned, get an inletted blank and have at it. Go for it!

That sounds like one of those "what could possibly go wrong?" projects.

Hey Dave,
I've known Mike for about 50 years. He's great with wood and I've seen him do some beautiful stock work. I wouldn't be encouraging him to do it if I thought for even a minute that he wasn't up to the challenge.
Steve

I am in the middle of doing three LCS right now and I am not sure I want to see another for a long time.

If you guys say he's up to the job, fair enough. I wasn't knocking his skills. I just know it would be one of those kinds of projects if I tried it, so I don't.

The question was asked..."How much to stock a side lock action gun?" In my shop $3640 plus the wood. Includes inletting, shaping, sanding, detailing, finishing to customers desired sheen, and checkering(standard factory pattern). This is a complete custom gunstocking job of the buttstock and forend.
Just for information sake.
