We Are Now Taking Orders For M1 Extra
Fancy English Walnut, Bastogne
Hybrid Walnut, Maple, Claro Walnut and American Walnut Stock Sets!
I had given up hope of ever
getting these fine woods again. Not only are they back, but they are
improved. We can now help you pre-select a blank from pictures
provided to DGR from the manufacture
(as seen below). Both sides of the blank are photographed. Once
you select your blank all three piece will be cut from the blank you selected
by the manufacture. I do the final fitting and finishing once we receive the
product from the manufacture.

There is nothing
wrong with a "plain Jane" standard grade stock sets like most have. But
for something above what others have, spend some time with DGR,
getting the stock set picked by you, based on what you like!
Or
We now have in inventory the following
stock sets. Claro Walnut, Bastogne Hybrid Walnit, Maple, and
American Walnut, all are Extra Fancy. We could have these on your rifle
in less then four weeks!

Quality Fitting
For Better Accuracy!
This entire page has
information regarding what I (Dean) do to the M1 stock sets. Please look
to the information regarding a special receiver cut I make after the pricing
section of this page.
What do I do…please let me explain. The stock sets I receive are machine inletted, but still requires hand fitting of all three pieces for better fit and
accuracy of the rifle.
Below are pictures of equipment purchased for just the fitting of these
stock sets I work on.
Two power tools used for the final fitting of the hand guards and stocks.
The belt sander on the left has a special guide bar (hard to see in the
picture) that controls the stock while making the receiver cut I describe
below. The other tool is used for trimming off excess wood from the
bottom of hand guards and tops of stocks.
 And
this is the workbench with parts and tools used for the final fitting of
stock sets. (Not shown are many different files and wood chisels. )
Why do all this???
It is for accuracy. With the M1, 40% of the rifles accuracy comes from the
stock set. To achieve
the rifles accuracy potential a proper fitting stock set from DGR is needed.
Plus, send us your trigger group and we will fit the stock to your
trigger group, giving you a true "custom fit" at no additional charge to
you!
And I finish these stock sets! That does not mean I simply apply some
stain and oil, it means each piece is meticulously sanded. Type 2
finishes get sanded to 220 grit
before stain and oil is applied. For DGR’s type 1 finish all are sanded to
600 grit.
So if you are looking for a stock set where accuracy and appearance is
important…you have come to the right place.

DGR's
Authentication Stamp
DGR has 3/4" or 1/2" stamps that
can be stamped into your new wood to authenticate that your stock
set was finished by DGR. Stamps are only applied upon customers
request.
All stock sets sold by DGR
will have our DGR stamp under the butt plate. Please Note:
Stock sets are a product of nature, so it is impossible for DGR to
guarantee grain structure. While the type of wood will be the
same, there might be color differences in all pieces of the stock set. However, we do our best to satisfy our
customer's wishes.

Special DGR
Feature
We
believe a properly fitted M1 stock can amount to 40% of the rifles
accuracy. Customers who had dramatic increases in accuracy after
installing one of our stock sets and making no other modifications to the
rifle have proven this time and time again.
Pictured is a USGI stock, (post WWII) and a new stock
with one of the
modifications made by DGR. The arrows are pointing to the area
that has been modified, both in the USGI stock and the
DGR stock. This modification is
critical in a properly fitted stock. As seen in the
picture, this allows the back 1/3 of the receiver to set on
the wood, with slight clearance up to the receiver legs.
This prevents the receiver from rocking in the stock and is
very important for accuracy and proper function of the
rifle.
DGR utilizes a special jig
and band saw to make these modifications, assuring the best
fit in the industry.

We
offer stock sets that we have sanded as described above and with our excellent hand rubbed oil finish, which DGR is
known for. And now, we also offer fitted/unfinished standard grade
stock sets for those who like to finish their own wood. (Click
here for a description of the three different hand rubbed oil finishes.)
DGR fits all
stock sets we sell to an action in our shop. It is possible
that you might experience some difficulties with your trigger
group once you have installed your new stock set. While this
is rare, if it happens, DGR will need to have your complete rifle
to make the needed adjustments, which we will do at no charge,
(you only cover the shipping costs). This rare problem is
not the fault of the stock or our work, it is because not all
trigger groups are the same.
We have provided pictures
below of our Stocks Sets.

An
email sent to us:
Tom's wife Betty writes, I
was upstairs changing when I heard Tom say, "oh baby your so
beautiful! I missed you and you look so good. You smell good too! And
you feel great!"...yep, I ran downstairs to see who he was
talking to and found he was talking to the gun you had built for him!
I'm glad you made him so
happy, now if I could get him to put it down and take me out to
dinner!
Thank you, Betty
