Custom wood for a trapdoor

I had a trapdoor come into my possession that Bubba tried to make a target rifle out of. The stock and barrel had been cut to 30" but the bore is great it just needs sights and a better stock. I tried treebone carving but they don't offer anything for trapdoors anymore. Is there anyone else out there?

He has a variety of wood types and figures available and does very good work at reasonable prices.

Yes I tried Wayne first but all he has is the military pattern stocks.

How about this? Cut for the standard round barrel. Looks good with a 26-28" barrel. No trigger inlet to allow a choice of triggers.
PM me if interested. I can get one cut for $200.

I like the look of that one John. 
Is it still a .45-70 or something more exotic?

I bought a "sporting" stock from Treebone a few years ago and then they were 350.00 Sent it to a guy to finish fit for me and he didn't do what I asked and wouldn't refund me any money. I was so disappointed I found another stock and cut it down myself. Looks decent for my limited skill. It is in 40-50 BN. Hung the other one up as a reminder to double check a mans work before spending money. Expensive lesson... Your gun looks good. Will finish up nicely.

Yes, It is a 45/70 with an original barrel 26" long. It is now finished and rust blued with the addition of a tang mounted sight. I'm sending the stock off next week for checkering.

I made the pattern from a screwed up Bishop stock I bought on ebay some years ago. Some wood additions,  some Bondo and some rasping and I had a good pattern.
I've also got a straight grip pattern with a Hawken style cheekpiece for a Gemmer style trapdoor.
