Clinton G. (Clint) Meier in his Lee's Summit, MO home workshop.
Welcome to my web site. If you need almost any type of gunstock work done, you have come to the right place! I offer a variety of gunstocking services. The following pages provide me with the opportunity to show you some examples of my work. If you enjoy firearms, I am sure you'll enjoy exploring my site. You may not have any particular project in mind right now, but sooner, or later, you will! Please keep me in mind.
THANK YOU!
Feel free to contact me regarding any question that you might have about a project that you have in mind.
**** UPDATE- November, 2007 ****
I have
recovered quite well from the Carpal Tunnel surgeries that I had several years
ago, and have recently been able to catch up to a great extent with some of my
work backlog. I have long since
come to the realization that I will likely always have some sort of backlog to
deal with.
Last
January, I informed you that I would be trying a different approach to the way
that I prioritized my work, shifting around the emphasis on some aspects of my
work. My plan was to try and get
the “checkering only” projects out the quickest. Clients usually expect and
desire a quick turn-around time on
these types of projects, and rightly so. The
next priorities would be the “refinishing and recheckering” projects.
These would also be steadily worked on next, so that they could be
finished in a quicker time frame than they had been in the past.
The "full
restocking" projects are worked into the schedule steadily, and the time it
takes to complete these projects depends entirely on my workload. Please
check with me regarding my current status.
So far,
this plan has worked out very well, allowing me to get a handle on my work flow
and get a lot of work out quickly and on schedule.
As always, thank you for your consideration of my work!
Best regards……….Clint Meier.

Sending me a firearm or stock? Please let me know its coming!

IMPORTANT
FIREARM SHIPPING INFORMATION - PLEASE READ!!
Regarding shipping any barreled action, with or without a stock, there is some highly relevant information that has recently been made available to those of us who routinely send and receive firearms as part of our businesses that you should know about. This info is the result of a damage claim filed with UPS by an unknowledgeable shipper that was denied, and a lot of us could have the same problem if we’re not careful.
What it
boils down to is if you don't dot all the “i's” and cross all the “t's”
the way the shippers want you to, and if there is any damage, in all likelihood
the claim will be categorically denied. To
sum this up briefly, you can ship me a project containing a long arm action to
work on for you through either UPS or FedEx, using ground or air service.
You must bring the package to a company-owned facility for shipment, or
you can ship it from your work if your company has a UPS or FedEx
account and regular pickups, i.e. you can't ship through a franchisee (
The UPS Store, or FedEx-Kinkos, etc. ). Their
rational is that in so doing, you are turning over a firearm to someone not
directly under their control and supervision.
You must declare that the package contains a firearm.
They may also ask you for a copy of my FFL, to be enclosed in/on the
package. I will be happy to send
you a scan of mine to print out for this purpose.
You also have to request it be sent with an “Direct or Adult Signature
Required” at my end. The shipment
has to come directly to my home. The
shipment can also be made to me by or through any business that holds an FFL,
e.g. your local gun shop. I also
must ship the firearm back to you under the same constraints, which means it
must go to a home or work address, where either you, or an adult member of your
family can sign for it. I prefer to
use FedEx Ground, because they are inexpensive and close.
To use UPS, I will have to drive a lot further, and charge you for that
time.
The USPS, in my opinion, is the most reliable way to ship a firearm. You can select either Registered Mail, which offers the maximum security, or Priority Mail, which requires a signature. The main thing is the USPS will not leave your package at the door and take off! Their overall rates for shipping and insurance are higher than some of the other services, but worth it.
Obviously, you can still ship any way you want to, but just be forewarned that if there ever is a damage claim involving a serial numbered firearm action, it could be denied if the circumstances don't meet the shipper's strict criteria.
If you
are sending me just a stock, with no action of any kind, even with all kinds of
other gun parts along in with it, it is business as usual.
You can ship that to me any way you want to, no problem.
