Fred Miller Stocks
« on: February 08, 2009, 08:52:47 PM »
bs2's question about an English sporter prompts this question. Someone mentioned that Fred Miller has a stock pattern for such a gun. Does anyone have a list of other schools and styles he offers?

If not, I'll call him up and ask and then post for everyone's knowledge.

careful what you promise.  Anyone who has been in Fred's shop knows the better question is - does anyone know of a pattern Fred doesn't have :)

I have some pics of his shelves somewhere - I'l try to find them

Save Fred getting a lot of call's.  I would like the info also, and can you add his contact info.  I would like to see us start a list of contact info on different suppliers like Fred, and Dave Rase, and others that provide different services.  We could put it in the long term sales under services.

Thanks

Someone a couple of years back had put together all of Reeves Gorings brass hardware. If someone has them could you repost them or add them to a parts list .

I posted about the english sporter. Rick posted it best, what doesn't he have.  I don't think he even knows what all is there.  Beside his own patterns collected over his lifetime, I also saw patterns with Kennedy and Ravensher's names on them.  If he doesn't have it and you do, he will copy yours for you. He has done modern stuff for me too.

I like Bill's idea of having a designated services list. That way, guys wouldn't have to field a bunch of questions from people who might only want to buy stuff in the future. A database with contact info and a rundown of what they offer would be great. How could we set this up?

Dave Keck also has a good selection of patterns. He carry or makes the hardware for most of them too. He has a list on his web site but I don't know how up to date it is.

Dave is on this forum.  Is your web site current or has your collection of patterns grown?

Way back when, maybe 4 years ago, there was a thread on the old board that had just such a listing of contact info for suppliers and a high level overview of what they specialize in and provide. It was a handy list if you needed something. Of course, since then, things have turned over and new suppliers etc. have come on the scene. Probably could use updating.

Here is the link to Reeves buttplates and triggerguards.  You will need to scroll down the thread about halfway to see the lists.
