Would anyone want to pay for this?

micj83 has a bit more power by not revealing the name in advance...IMHO

That stock should hold up well; as a club! 

[micj83]

  That's one hell of an expensive club. Good thing I don't need a new driver in my golf bag...

Yeah I'm with ICEMAN on that one. If they caught wind of me blasting them before we chat, they could simply tell me to go F' off. Granted they could do that anyways, but lets say it's close to home for me. So if you are local you could probably figure that one out. We wait to see if they have any sort of business integrity.

GEEZERS    That Smith needs to go back to working on tractors!! That is crap work! I'm not a gunsmith and my bedding jobs turn out waaaaay better than that.

I would just find an attorney and have them send a nice little letter requesting that the stock will be replaced within 30 days on his dime or we are going to court!!

Not only should he pay for the new stock he should also pay for a professional bedding job.

Well current update: Smith was very responsive to trying to make it right. He was all for offering to try to fix the problems. Even went to the extent of saying he would call HS Precision directly. I gave him the name of one of the guys there, Josh. Hopefully we can move on and have this fixed. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me... there won't be a third time.

My recommendation is always go to someone who is known for credible work with whatever you are looking to have done. Lessons learned. Thanks for all the support in my adventure.

Glad to see you are getting a positive response so far.

Compared to a couple stocks I've worked on, yours looks pretty dang good 

But, like someone else said, there's a reason I'm not a gunsmith!  I hope it works out for you!

Good to hear that at least they are being receptive so far to fixing the issue.   I always try and get recommendations on gunsmiths in an area....    looking forward to hearing how well they 'fix" the problem.
