"Just
received my Browning Superposed stock that Rod had installed a Gracoil w/Length of Pull adjustment on. The quality of the install is "First-Rate" as always! Rod is simply the best there is...in my opinion! Thanks Rod!

Rod's Custom Stocks has installed numerous
recoil pads, adjustable pad plates and Gracoils for me over the years. He
recently installed a RCS adjustable pad plate and Kick-Eez pad on a Winchester
101 Pigeon Grade. I'll be sending him a Browning Superposed stock in a few weeks
for a Gracoil install. His work is First-Rate! 100% satisfaction!
Thanks Rod, Al Kryl

Rod, thanks again for the good work adding the adjustable plate and pad to my Browning XS Skeet over and under. I removed the plate and easily added the weights into the stock bolt hole. Thanks for the tip on adding the screws in the bolt hole to keep the weights in place. It worked perfectly. I'm looking forward to shooting it next weekend.
Good luck in the future growing your business. With the quality work you do I'm certain you'll achieve all your goals!!
Thanks again, Perry Heise

HI Rod.
You may remember
me. On Monday of this past week my friend Joe and I picked up 2 shotguns that you had mounted adjustable butt plates
on. You were kind enough to go ahead and custom fit both the butt plate and adjustable comb on my
BT-99. You also mentioned that I had a horrible way of sighting down the barrel and gave suggestions on how to fix that.
On Wednesday of this week I took the gun out to the range (Robinson Ranch here in Inglis) to shoot in the league, we shoot in every week.
First round I had a 25, and second round had a 23.
Just wanted to say thank you and let you know that your expertise is most appreciated.
Best Regards,
John Harrington

Hi, Rod:
I just wanted to let you know that I shot the shotgun you worked on for me and absolutely love what you did to it! The gun fits me well and the craftsmanship on the pad is outstanding. Thanks for a job very well done! Good luck on your deer hunting, and send me a photo when you kill one.

Hi Rod,
Thank you so much for cutting the stock and putting the gooey pad on my newly acquired Browning BT-100 Stainless. It is wonderful to finally be shooting a gun that truly fits; my scores have improved dramatically because of the work that you did for me. I would highly recommend you to any and all shooters. I will see you at the Cardinal Classic as I am going to have you do the same fix to my Browning BT-99 Stainless.
Thanks Again,
Lori Ann Slimmer. ;-)

The work Rod did installing a new pad to lengthen my stock was performed quickly and reasonably but my recommendation is for the time he invested with me to make sure the gun fit properly. That was worth at least what he charged for the pad and installation.

Rod,
I tried the R.A.D. system on my BT-99 that you installed a couple of weeks ago. It works great! I have never “smoked” as many targets as I am now. Maybe I’m actually shooting where I’m looking and not anticipating the recoil..imagine that. I wanted to thank you for doing it as fast as you did, and for doing quality work.
Also, I’m still interested in ordering the shooting glasses. I’ll be in touch in the next few weeks to do that.
Thanks again,
Holger

Rod,
I received my BT-99 stock back this morning and I couldn't be happier with the adjustable comb, soft comb and recoil pad installation. I'm really lucky to have stumbled on to your web site which is now a permanent fixture in my favorites. I'm sure there are many out there doing good work on shotgun stocks but only a handful that do exceptional work and I think your the leader of that pack!
Thanks again Rod, Chris Nowacki (Blackfoot Idaho)

I just received my BT-99 from
FedEx. I had considered at one time to do the the work myself.....no more!
Your work is extraordinary! Beautifully done.
Thanks , Tim

ROD,
Received stock today.
All work requested (soft comb adjustable stock, recoil pad, cutting stock to obtain desired LOP) was completed in a timely manner (less than week) with outstanding workmanship at a reasonable price.
The stock cover was a
nice touch and was greatly appreciated.
I am very pleased and would not hesitate to recommend your fine service without reservation.
Best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season.
Merry Christmas.........

Another great job Rod. You are an excellent craftsman and I always refer anyone wanting stock work to you.
Thanks for the Pen's.
Wishing you and your wife Happy Holidays and a good winter.
Growing up in Toledo, I know what shoveling snow and cold is all about.
Also many cold days on the Maumee river and Lake Erie marshes. Too old for that today.

Rod,
After talking to you on 3-23-12, I received my stock from Fed ex on 3-24. It looks great, I didn't get to shoot it till 5-2-12, I had a 45 of 50 about my average.
This weekend I will be attending a Nora Ross clinic, so I will probably do some adjusting then.
So I want to thank you for the work you did and for the prompt service.
Thanks again,
Vernon Socks

Hello
Rod,
I just wanted to let you know I got my stock today. I thank you for another
excellent job that you always do.
I always recommend your services when anyone asks about combs and pad work as
well as refinishing stocks and forearms.
I also refer people to your website.
I look forward to seeing you at a shoot and wish you and your family a great
season this year...2012,
Sincerely, Dick
Rod,
We
just got my son's Browning back today with the new Gracoil system you installed
just in time for his Monday high school practice and plenty of time before the
state shoot in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The boy was all smiles as he keep smoking bird
after bird. Thank you for the unbelievable turn around, super fast as promised
and the craftsmen ship is out of site. I will send any future work I have to you
and advise all of the other parents to do the same.
Keep
up the great work.
Thank
you...........S. Smith

another stock to send you!

Received the stock/forend today that you refinished for my MT-6. You did a great job!! I will surely recommend you to all my fellow shooters.

Rod,
I just wanted to thank you again for the stock work you did on my gun. It is everything I wanted and more.
You did a great job on it. It is really nice to do business with trusting people like yourself. Now all I need is less snow so I can go shoot.
Once again THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
Donald Zink.

Rod,
Got my stocks back today and would like to let you know I am really happy with the work you did on them.
I really appreciate you taking such care and want to let you know if I have anything in the future it will definitely be done thru you.
Once again, Thanks and have a Great weekend.

Rod,
I received my two stocks and forearm back today. Rod, I must not have enough grasp of the English language to come up with right adjectives or whatever, to convey to you the "first rate" job you do. Your work, in my eyes and many others at my Gun Club, is "impeccable". I love it and I appreciate it very much.
I know that you told me that you couldn't remove the small dent in the BT forearm. To my surprise you did something and after buffing it out I can't tell it was there unless I had a microscope. That was a very nice "bonus".
I gave four of your business cards out at our recent club meeting and another was pinned on our board. Please let me know if you need some kind of testament for your web site. I'd be more then happy to do one and so would a Shelby Rose. He was the one that recommended me to you after he had a adjustable comb installed on his BT.
Thanks Rod. You made me a very happy camper and I would recommend you to anyone, anytime.
Take care.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Rod,
All
I can say is wow. The adjustable comb was cut so perfectly and finished exactly
as the original. It may be a biased opinion, but it looks much better than some
factory adjustable combs. Thank you for the great customer service, the amazing
turn around time, and the detail you've put into my Red Label. I hope our
members at Jefferson Gun Club see more of your craftsmanship and continue to do
business with you. Outstanding job. If there's ever another to be done, you'll
definitely be getting a return customer.

I
just received my Browning stock back and it looks GREAT, once again very,
very nice work. I'm sure it will help my sight picture. I'll see you
at PA. State Shoot.
Thank You,

Rod,
I got the stock. It looks phenomenal!
It is still slightly too long for my oldest. Should fit her great by this time next year - oh well, at least we have something to look forward to.
If you are ever in the Dallas area, please drop me a line.
Thanks!

Rod,
Just a follow-up. I am very happy with the RAD. Initially, my biggest concern was that it would be a distraction in shooting doubles (excess movement), but I have experienced no issues what so ever. Except for the moderated recoil, I don t even know its there. Thanks for recommending it and the beautiful installation. It has made the difference between electing to sell a combo set and the combo set becoming my preferred guns. Have a great new year.

job!!! I will recommend your work to anyone that asks me about your work.

__________________________________________________________________________________
Rod,
I suspect that you already know how good your work is, but I wonder if you fully
understand what a difference your work can make for a shooter like me. You
fitted my MX2005 at the Indiana State Shoot, and I immediately went out and shot
two scores that, in each case, exceeded my average by almost seven birds. I won
the vet class handicaps with a 96 and was runner-up in “C” class singles
with a 196.
A gun that fits is a work of art, and I’d be willing to bet that half the
shooters out there would benefit from a half hour in your trailer.
Rod thanks again.

Rod,
I received my Remington 1100 Classic Trap stock from you today. Thank you for
such a superb job! The adjustable stock you installed works perfectly, and your
finish around the cut in the wood is indistinguishable from the factory finish.
I can't wait to show it off at the local trap clubs. Thanks again!
Sincerely, Tom Cirtin

Hey
Rod, you did a unbelieveable job on my wood. With that high gloss finish
what is the best product I can use on it to keep it looking great.
Thanks,

Rod
has installed the RAD-2 in two Browning Citori's, the RAD-1 in two Remington
3200's, and an adjustable comb and RAD-2 to a new Browning XS Skeet for me over
the past 2 years. All of the work has been great. As long as Rod is in
business, no one else will be touching any of my shotguns.
Thanks Rod!

Hi Rod,
I received my stock Wednesday and you said it looked GREAT.... No, I think it
looks BETTER THAN GREAT!! You did a great job and got it back to me in record
time. I had a handgun at a provider for about a year and right now I have one
that has been a another provider since August and I don't think I'll get it back
for a couple more months. Anyway, I think you did a great job and thanks again
for getting it back to me in time for this next upcoming event. Keep up the good
work!
Take care,
Rick

Hello Rod,
Last week or so I got the two guns back that I sent in Dec., the Browning for a GraCoil
only and the Beretta for a gra-coil and an adjustable comb. Since then I've been
meaning to e-mail you to say that we are extremely pleased with the quality and
the promptness of your work, AA1 in all respects, my wife is happy!!! That means
I am double barreled happy!!! We have at times new shooters coming along and if
any of them want any stock work done our recommendation will be to contact you.
Great work and service, Many Thanks.
Regards,
Jim & Marial Hovet

Rod,
I received my XT stock today and all I've got to say is "Thank you".
Your workmanship is awesome. I see a lot of guns with these devices on them and
this is the best looking one I've seen. All the little detail stuff you've done
is great, and the wood to metal fit is perfect. The cool part is it's mine. I've
got it back on and I'll be trying it tomorrow but I was so excited about the way
it looked I want say thanks. Thanks also for the very fast turn around.
Thanks again,
Darrell Thompson

Rod,
I got my stock back today and it looks great!! Thank you for the fast turnaround
and thanks for cleaning up the recoil pad as it really looks beautiful. What I
really like and I think is a classy touch is the engraved base plate that you
use with your hardware. Other stock guys just put a sticker on the butt of the
gun but I really dig the class act of the plate with your info on it!! You
definitely get a 10+ on style points!! The calendar is a welcome addition to my
office wall as I have been putting off getting my own until now. I am going to
pass out your cards to some fellows at Livermore Rod and Gun Club and hopefully
you will get some more business from us out here in the Golden State.
Regards,
Ben Miller

Thanks Rod for the great work on my gun stock. Looks great and I am sure that I
will be more than happy with it. fast turn around. I will definetely recommend
you to anyone who needs work done and if I ever need anymore done I will be more
than happy to have you do it. Thanks again for the great work and fast turn
around. The stock looks like a million bucks and I am more than satisfied with
the job done.

Rod,
Sorry it took this long to say thanks. I received the stock back for my Browning
XT Trap and it was a beautiful job can't say enough about it and the turn around
time. Thanks for talking me into the RAD #2. If anyone asks about your work I'll
sent them your way. I'll be sending the other stock for the Perazzi when I get
the time.
Thanks Again - Byron Nielsen

Rod:
Got the stock yesterday and re-installed it. Nice work! I wouldn’t
have thought of the filler piece in the top hole until it was too late –
that’s why you get the big bucks! Thank you for the great service. I’ll
shoot it this weekend – it’s gonna be good.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Rod,
I wanted to write you on what a great job you did on my Beretta Silver Pigeon
II, Your workmanship on the RAD2 and Adj Comb is awesome... I can't wait to
shoot it. I was afraid to release my gun to anyone for work, I am glad I choose
you. Fantastic work.. Thanks!!!
__________________________________________________________________________________
Rod,
Just a quick note to thank you for your work. I just received my Krieghoff stock
that you reworked by installing an adjustable comb and an adjustable recoil pad.
I can’t begin to tell you how pleased I am with your workmanship. Thanks so
very much! Please feel free to use me as a ready reference.
Yours in sport,
David “Tim” Cudia

I received the Beretta ASE that you installed the GraCoil LOP unit on last week,
and the work is very nice. I appreciate the fast turnaround and more important,
the great workmanship, and if you have a list of references feel free to include
my name and email on it.
Thanks again,

I got my stock today and just wanted to let you know. I think it was a great job
and really fast service. This is going to make a big difference in my shooting
3-4 birds a round will make me a lot more competitive.
Thanks again.

Rod,
Here a little way back you put on a adjustable soft comb and a GraCoil with adj
lop. My youngest son competed in the state championship shoot this weekend and
he won the class day sub junior handicap championship and also won the
championship day sub junior handicap title. He was also the sub junior singles
runner up champion. Once again thanks for the good work. He loves his new gun.

__________________________________________________________________________________
Rod,
you exceeded my expectations!!!!! You did an outstanding job!!!! My wife was
amazed by the difference. I had a chance to shoot this weekend and the gun fit
like a glove. The extra length was not a problem and I really like the
flexibility with all of the adjustments. I plan to call you this week and see if
you can help me with some counter coil questions and recoil pad options for my
Perazzi. Thanks again and I will call you this week with my questions.

Got my plate and recoil pad back yesterday. The work was beautiful and I
am very pleased. Glad I saw your add in Trap & Field. I highly recommend
your company to anyone. To go a step further I will put an information
piece on Trapshooters.com letting other shooters know of your quality work.I
personally will be sending additional work your way.
Thanks again,

Rod,
My stock arrived today! I'm am very pleased with the installation fit and
finish. It is better then I had hoped for, especially like the raduising of the
recoil pad and the toe out, the gun feels better then ever. I definitely will
recommend you to anyone who needs stock work down.
Thanks again,
Joseph Olin

Got my stock. All I can say is wow. It is beautiful. Thank you, do you like wild
rice? I have some from back home that you can't buy in the stores.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Rod,
Just a quick note to let you know how much I liked the way you refinished my new
Browning custom-shop over-and-under. The gloss finish was as good as or better
than Browning's. I was very surprised that you even bested your promised
delivery date by two weeks. Great job and great workmanship and an early
delivery date! Wow, now that's professional. You will be highly recommended by
me in my shooting travels.
Good gunning,
Larry Taylor

Rod,
Thanks for the fine job on removing the Schnable on my .28 GA Browning. It was
your usual perfect job again. I always recommend you to all my trap, skeet, and
sporting clay friends.
Good health & good gunning,

Hi
Rod--
The BT-99 arrived yesterday--she's beautiful! The gun fits wonderfully, with a
few adjustments. Will use a pattern board next week to see what's actually
happening, but shot four rounds today: my first round was better than usual,
second and third rounds were about par for the course, and the fourth round (at
which point I'm usually starting to tire a bit) was my best score EVER (still
only a 23...). I'm thrilled—not tired and no soreness. Thank you so much for
doing such a great job--LOP is perfect.
Thanks again,
Karen Carson
