Iv gotten one of there target stocks from them.
The inlet was tight and it was missing a pillar hole but that was to be expected.
It finished up pretty nice wih about 18 labor hours of work!

I dont disagree, I should not have expected a finished stock.
I did expect my rifle to function with it. The fact that it did not, was what pushed me over the edge.
I guess common sense isnt so common any more.
Apparently not if people are still buying stocks from Richard's Lucky-if-it-fits.Quote:

Now, if folks would compare the cost of the RMF stock against a full blown "Custom" stock costing close to twice as much, if not more, they would relize that they take work to fit and finish. Still a deal no matter what. ;)
Someone has to fit and finish. Pay me now or pay me later. It'll still cost you one way or another. You're time and effort at "No Charge" or pay up front and let someone else do it.
If you do it, It's "YOURS", you did it and can brag about it OR, just write the check and get one ready to go. ;)
There's a feeling of accomplishment knowing that you did the work. 8)
I get mine with No Cheek Piece so there's no bolt interference. ;D
No question that there is a great sense of accomplishment in finishing a RMF stock nicely. They take so darn much work you better be proud!
I was very proud of my first RMF stock.
+1 to what Mike said, I too have had very good results with RMF, but I knew what I was getting before I started. I like the ability to shape to a personal fit.Quote:

It is something that is a necesary requirement for that application, and certainly not justification to ***** and whine about it and say bad things about Tom Manners or his work.
Maybe it is common sense that should have told me. Maybe their info on the stock should have mentioned it. Either way, I don't have the patience or tools to make a bolt cut out. It went back.
Ordered a RMF simply because i couldn't find another left hand in a 7mm Rem mag Savage 111 in a style i liked, 14 weeks later and still no stock.
You're in for an unpleasant surprise when you finally do get that RMF stock.
They do offer some nice options, but it appears that their business practice has not changed. I bought a stock from Richard's about 10 years ago for my Win M70. It worked out well, but there was definitely no "micro-fit" to it. I had to remove a lot of wood and they sent me a stock for a hinged magazine and not a blind magazine. Had to buy the hardware to change it over so it would work. My first and last use of their business.
Two questions come to mind every time I read a post from about RMF stock....
1. How is this guy still in biz after all of the horrible reviews and down right lousy customer service.
2. Why does someone who buys and complains about his product not start a full time/part time biz doing exactly what he does, same stock lines, same price and give the end customer a product to be 120% happy with?
Look at the draw on this site alone just for Savages.... Most guys own 2-6 bolt Savages if the first stock works,your going back for #2, #3, #4 and so on.
You have what 6-10 actions to fit a CF bolt action Savage, offer 5-7 stock styles to start with... Start with a low dollar import cnc mill for in-letting, have a guy fab your duplicator or buy one and you up and running.
Everyone complains about his product, everyone complains about no jobs... here's a void than needs a company to start-up and setup to the plate.
Speaking strictly for myself...
1) I already have a good career. You've not heard any complaining about jobs from me.
2) If I had the time, woodworking skills and tools required to make my own gunstocks I wouldn't be buying one from someone else.
Do you start your own business every time you're unhappy with a product/service you've paid for?
1a. Same here
1b. Same here
2. True
3. No I don't but, everyone keeps going back and back and back for the same thing.
This was not directed to anyone in particular but more sent out in frustration of the lack of quality for hard earned money spent on 75% of all of the products on the market today that lack quality or service for problems that passed by quality control.
