You Sir! should be ashamed!Speaking of the Custom Shops once maintained by the major manufacturers, they once turned out some very nice special-order work. Though they were considered prohibitively expensive at the time, it has often turned out to be a good investment, with collectors now paying top prices for original factory Custom Shop pieces, especially the higher grades. Attached are photos of three samples from Remington's Custom shop: a couple of M-700 with select wood and checkering, and a M-7 with special order Mannlicher style stock.

Coal Dragger said:I thought they were now? Watched a video of the factory and the guy giving the tour said they were running Bartleins.
Who else is making them?
MHSA's website is such a disaster (always has been) it's hard to figure out what's available these days so I'm not even sure if Bartlein is still an option.
