I recently ordered a walnut stock from Freds and I believe it was an "excellant as new". The stock is near perfect and all the metal was like new. The stock had 40 years of dirt on it and required some cleaning and oil. I think if I would have spent more time on cleaning the stock it would be a gem. In its current condition I would say its a really nice stock. I think it was around $120 shipped and arrived in about a week. I am happy with mine.

Yep working a couple of P grade walnuts I got about 3 weeks ago. He didn't charge extra for the mold. They are coming along beautifully.

I got 2 of the Exc. as new from Fred's last week. One was birch and the other walnut. The birch was real dirty and had a sticky goo black coating on it, but it cleaned up very nice. It is indeed as new, once I got the goo off.

The walnut was beautiful. Only needed a little cleaning, a light sanding and a couple coats of oil and it looks brand new.

I'm very happy with both of them. Still in the finishing process and deciding which one to keep.
