His website still lists many items.

Just got a Big Red stock in the mail today. Had to wait three or four weeks though. So if you don't mind being patient, he still has a lot of great stuff.

Hi website was updated today that he is retiring. That said, I've gotten two orders within about two weeks of placing them lately.

I thought about it until I saw shipping prices.

The S&H charges listed are always FUBAR when you place your order, but he fixes it and sends you an invoice to your email to let you know what it's actually going to be when he ships your order. It was over $100.00 when I placed an order for an M14A1 stock on his website a few months ago, but was charged only $14.00 from NC to ID.

I'm wanting to try and get him to find me a nice striped/highly figured birch M14 stock. I've called a few times, but he hasn't answered. Is it too late, or is there still hope? My M1A doesn't have a stock now, so I'm hoping to get in line soon.

I would try e-mailing through the website. You might have better luck that way. And be prepared to wait several months. He doesn't have all of the tigers grouped together, so when you order one of those you are basically waiting for him to come across one in the mountains of stocks. And I can't be sure but I think a fully striped stock with run about $200. Good luck!
