I sent a walnut blank and my 46" 62 caliber fowler barrel to Virgil Otto at Gunstocks Plus for shaping. Everyone else I talked with was too far backed up. His quote of $165 plus $45 shipping was to include shaping and drilling of ramrod hole.
Here is a pic of what I got back. The stock is extremely crudely shaped. No ramrod hole drilled and no shaping what so ever on the forearm. It is far too thick for a proper fowling gun. Plus he cut the stock off too short. My mistake was he got a check from me in full before he did the "work". Shame on me.
Do yourself a favor and don't send anything to this guy!
