Get it in walnut
never seen these, the price point on these is attractive to say the least
never built a kit but interested, is this company something i can take on as a first kit? I have some woodworking experience and mechanical experience. Enough not to hurt myself but not enough to impress anyone
Pecatonica was the first and only company I used for gun kit building (about 8 or 9 guns) until Kibler came along. They are not that difficult but they have some challenges.

I have been working wood over 50 years still don't know if I have enough skill to impress anyone. Thought I had enough to keep from getting hurt till I stuck that half inch razor sharp chisel a half inch into my hand fitting a double barrel hammer gun receiver into the stock. These little steps are called experience and experience is what you get when you don't get what you wanted.
Nice! Hadn't heard that one before.

I started with pecatonica stocks. I moved on pretty quickly to making guns from a blank. I didn't need all of the built in mistakes.
You sound like me I like to build in my own mistakes.

You can't rely on the pricing on their website. Waaaay out of date. They are happy to provide accurate figures if you call or email.
I have built several for customers. Very nice kits. Top grade parts. They are at a slow period at the moment. They should be able to knock it out fairly quickly for you. Semper Fi.
PS, Get an updated price from Doug or Steve. The on-line price is way out of date.
No, that describes ME.
thank you for the heads up! I have been looking at those kibler kits as well so i will take these into consideration come april when uncle sam says i can have some of my money back
Don't get the lock inlet, don't get the lock inlet, DON'T GET THE LOCK INLETED! You may be happy, then again you may be very unhappy with their job, like me and bunch of other folk.
This thread has me kinda wanting to make one more of these 
oh oh…
oh oh…
You unhappy with the internal lock works inlet cavity or the exterior inlet for the lock plate? Or both?
