Guys, you are an incredible team of dedicated shooters putting on episodes loaded with knowledge, excitement and pure joy to watch.. The level of work put in these episodes is equivalent to an army of production staff in a TLC TV show.. Loved that episode.. And every time I see that range I tell my wife that this place is on my bucket list to visit.
Thanks, Jamil! That's very kind of you! I'm sure Will would be thrilled for you to check out his school. It's pretty easy to reach, just south of Charlotte, if you ever find yourself out that way.
@@claylabusa Yes I have seen your previous episodes on Will's range.. It is like Disney land for clay shooters. Definitely worth the trip and the experience.
Another well produced video guys. Jim Greenwood is an amazing man, so much knowledge and skill, I would love to have a custom stock made for my K80 but there's nobody over here in the UK, that I'm aware of, with that amount of knowledge & experience. I love your videos, clay shooting over in the States looks amazing and worlds apart from what we have over here. Keep up the good work.
Absolutely nothing wrong with waiting for the one trip you make to the US someday including a stop in KS to visit Greenwood at his home shop. Or even attending our National Championships and booking one of his slots while there. Jim is usually one of the first vendors at a major shoot and one of the last to leave. Sometimes weeks before and after to make sure he can see people.
And yet we have some of the best shooter in the world over here in the UK 🇬🇧😉 there also a handful of stock makers in the UK and Europe, but why give up the excuse to head stateside, get it booked @168dac ! 👍
Scott, you can explain it to me, but you can't understand it for me. Now I understand why a custom fit stock works. I couldn't see it before. @TheClayLab never fails to deliver. Great video. Thanks.
Thanks, Shawn! Appreciate you watching! We're looking forward to keeping that series of videos going. Next up should be wood selection for the final stock.
@@JPShooting JP you guys are awesome my friend always said it's the nut behind the butt. Keep up the great work I'll be watching Good Luck in 2023 And happy new year
No checkering on the pattern stock, but will be getting that done on the final stock once we reach that stage. That said, that palm swell really locks your hand in, so the lack of checkering isn’t noticeable so far!
Ok, I guess I have to ask the obvious question. How much is it for a Greenwood custom stock? Skilled craftsman, great wood, years of experience, this has to be a hole bucket of money.
Currently spending the whole day with Jim building a pattern stock will run around $2500. A whole bucket of money is relative of course but I'd still trade an all factory K-gun for an A400 with a Greenwood made for me in competition. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and subscribing.
I've come to learn in this industry you can just about do anything working with the right people. There are dealers that would sell you the parts but not recommend doing so. At least purchasing the lowest category of wood is likely the best thing to do so you either have a back up stock etc.
Can’t recall the exact details, but it’s an off-the-shelf finish that’s somewhat waterproof. Not nearly as nice as an actual finish, of course, but looks a lot better than I would have expected from a pattern stock!
Hi George, can't give you the exact cost of the finished stocks, as I haven't reached that stage yet and I think prices may fluctuate a bit over time. One huge factor is the wood selection, with a nice blank of Turkish or English walnut running in the 1500-3500 range (or more, I'm sure). I'll try to make a point of discussing pricing of walnut blanks in the next video.
Jim is a good stock maker. Sadly, I can't say the same about his business skills. I paid him $2000 for a pattern stock 16 months ago. I gave him $3800 for a nice piece of wood for the final stock at the same time. We agreed he would complete the final stock within 10 months. It has now been 16 months and still no stock. Worse still, he doesn't answer emails or texts. I can't recommend him. There are other skilled stockmakers out there who also keep their word on when they'll complete their work.
Hello Douglas, I am in the same boat as you. He has my new Krieghoff since last October and I paid for the wood. I have not heard a word from him since April. Have you taken legal action yet?

So glad I found this channel. Great video.
Welcome aboard!

Thanks, Tim!
Really entertaining. Love to watch a true craftsman at work. When I win the state lottery, I’m going to have this done!
Great video guy. As always thanks for showing the experience and sharing the knowledge.
Thanks! We appreciate you watching!
This was a good one guys, thanks a bunch. Jim is the master.
Thanks! He really is amazing
Another well done video! Great job showing the process that goes into stock making. Looking forward to the next video.
Thanks, Shawn! Appreciate you watching! We're looking forward to keeping that series of videos going. Next up should be wood selection for the final stock.
@@claylabusa Oh, nice! Looking forward to it.
Great video again! Thanks for sharing this experience. ❤
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful stock for Fujiahar shoot, see you there, by the way, you videos quality are amazing!
Wish we were going! Sounds like it’ll be an amazing shoot!
Awesome video- Jims' work is second to none. Were those 34" parcours barrels by chance ????
32in Barrels, have always considered throwing some 34s on to try. 1 yr review coming up soon.
Another great video, guys. Please let us know what one should expect to spend to acquire a stock similar to Jeremy's.
Hey Matt, we each paid $2,500 for our stocks, which is the standard price.
@@claylabusa does that include wood or is it 2500 plus the blank?
@@jamesbalog4562 it’s 2500 including the wood
pleasure watching a master at work. There is also a lot of psychology in stock making.
Definitely! The hardest part of the process is knowing whether you’re actually mounting the gun like you usually would
Great video. I'd love to upgrade some of my English SXS's, but the cost on those becomes pretty high due to the work inletting around sidelocks.
You ought to talk to Jim! He does all manner of stocks, including a decent number of SXS’s
Great stuff 👍
Thanks 👍
Did not watch yet,but i am sure it's going to be good as always
Hope you got a chance to check it out and enjoyed it!
I liked the part when JP said that you can't fix all of me I cracked up. And some days that's how I feel shooting .
It really is the truth. lol every bit helps but the stock isnt gonna do all the work for me lol
@@JPShooting JP you guys are awesome my friend always said it's the nut behind the butt.
Keep up the great work I'll be watching Good Luck in 2023
And happy new year
Haha, yeah, thought that was pretty funny too. Managed not to laugh out loud while filming!
AWESOME!
Thanks, Tim!
@@claylabusa appreciate everything that you do!
Great content guys!
Thanks!
Interesting video and process. So no checkering on the final grip?
No checkering on the pattern stock, but will be getting that done on the final stock once we reach that stage. That said, that palm swell really locks your hand in, so the lack of checkering isn’t noticeable so far!
Great job 👏
Very nice, do you mind giving a cost?
Hey George, we each paid $2,500, which is the standard price
Another geat video guys 👍🏼 If you get a chance a video on hearing protection would be great 👍🏼
That’s actually coming up next!
@@claylabusa Thanks I'm looking forward to it🙂

Can a K80 or Perazzi be purchased receiver, forearm, and barrels only? Would seem such a waste to have to buy a stock too.
I've come to learn in this industry you can just about do anything working with the right people. There are dealers that would sell you the parts but not recommend doing so. At least purchasing the lowest category of wood is likely the best thing to do so you either have a back up stock etc.
What does Jim use for that spray on stock finish?
Can’t recall the exact details, but it’s an off-the-shelf finish that’s somewhat waterproof. Not nearly as nice as an actual finish, of course, but looks a lot better than I would have expected from a pattern stock!
So just the pattern stock is $2,500 so what's the final price all together?
Hi George, can't give you the exact cost of the finished stocks, as I haven't reached that stage yet and I think prices may fluctuate a bit over time. One huge factor is the wood selection, with a nice blank of Turkish or English walnut running in the 1500-3500 range (or more, I'm sure).

@@claylabusa Okay thanks. Keep up the great video's.
The answer is more than your gun cost lol. Generally figure 4k and up (final stock) soooo potentially 6500 plus?
Why does the young man lean out so far and becomes less upright when he mounts and shoots and why does he take hulls out in a supe-fast move?
Alright…what did this cost?
Pattern stock was $2500
Jim is a good stock maker. Sadly, I can't say the same about his business skills. I paid him $2000 for a pattern stock 16 months ago.

English walnut medium fancy with fitting was $2500 at Wenig in 2021 for my K-80. That price included fitting cost of $500 and the pattern stock.
Hello Douglas, I am in the same boat as you. He has my new Krieghoff since last October and I paid for the wood. I have not heard a word from him since April. Have you taken legal action yet?
