As soon as I get my Larry Horrigan barrel I will be building a St Etienne FDC.

Yes Pecatonica supplied wood to some. I have always had good luck with Pecatonica. Always.
I call them abd they tell me right then what I need is in stock and what is not. But they have generally always had what I needed.
Give them a call

My first two builds were "kits" that I put together with a stock blank that had the barrel inlet and ramrod hole drilled. I bought all of the other parts wherever I could find them. No flaws in my stock shaping when I got done, I could even add the correct cast off and drop in the stock to fit me perfectly. I have only bought 2 pre-carve stocks, both were flawed.
It could be that TOW is having a hard time getting enough parts for kits that aren't flawed and were getting some kits back because of this.
My last was a secondhand TOW kit, if I had bought it from TOW it would have gone back the day I opened the box.

In my make believe world, TOW is just busy searching for new sources to supply kits that actually resemble historical examples.

I got the stock for my .32 caliber from Pecatonica River. The wood is beautiful, but they did a not so great job drilling the ramrod channel. It veered left into the lock mortise. I've heard of several people who had this same problem with their stocks. Not a game changer just a PIA to fix.
Now this was a few years ago that I built this gun so hopefully they've cleared that issue up. Would I buy from them again, yes I wood.... get it.

That right there is why Kibler needs to brand his stuff. Especially the locks as they are of his design and making.
Don't know how many times now I've shown mine to someone. They've asked what it is and after telling them they point out that none of them have a name of any sort anywhere on them.
