ken98k Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I've been trying to call Richards for 2 days and keep getting a recording saying they're "busy, call back in the afternoon". I get the same recording in the afternoons. I've never used them before, are they always that busy? Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken98k Posted December 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Finally got through this morning. The guy I spoke with said about 9 weeks, sounds a little optimistic to me but I'll be happy if they can do it. The last (custom) stock I ordered was from Boyd's and that took 8 months.

swamp_thing Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 I have bought several stocks from Richard's. First off, calling is a nightmare most times as you will get the recording you mentioned. Also, the time frame has always been off by about three or four weeks in my experience. This is always on oddball stocks due to left hand configuration and non popular actions. Now, for the good points. I have always gotten what I asked for on my orders and the only time I ever had a complaint on one it was handled by the owner personally and within three days I had a more than satisfactory solution. This was on a Mosin left hand stock, and the inletting from the bottom and top sections did not line up quite right. The wood was grade A fancy and when I called them they offered to either replace the stock or refund 50% of the purchase price. I took the second option and worked through the alignment problem myself with the aid of some glass bedding. They still have my vote. swamp_thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad_jack Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Richards microfit does have good stocks, but you cann't get in a hurry. it will be 2-3 months at least. I was very impressed at the quality for a mass produced stock company. and they also sell blems, at a fraction of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken98k Posted April 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 I finaly got the stock this afternoon. A bit longer than the 9 weeks they told me but I'm used to waiting for things to get get shipped up here. I think I've got all the parts to start on this one when I get a chance.

bubbamauser Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 I waited 3 mos on a RIA m48 stock from them I finally cancelled and ordered it from Sporter express and got it in 2 days, that didn't leave the best taste in my mouth about boyds. Sporter express though has a client for life. Roy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
