I will add there are exceptions,
The below was a US$80 blank off ebay, shaped on a duplicator then finished the owners friend who is gunsmith with excellent stock making abilities.
The below shows the finished stock from post 30, I sent a couple of blanks of NZ Walnut to my friend as a gift both of them are in this pic and both were shaped by Mike Kokolus who did this for a living.
I have thought about building a stock pantograph, but so far have resisted the urge
