Is there a good resource for stocks and forends for Browning A5s and Remington Model 11s? Finished? Unfinshed?

I appreciate all the wonderful advice I get in this forum.

  Thanks for the info on boyd's.
  
  While they have an extensive website of information, they are not the greatest at helping neophytes like me figure out how to solve my problem so I will post my question here in hopes that someone may be willing to offer guidance.
  
  I bought an old remington model 11 and want to replace the wood (stock and forend) I have taken stocks off guns and refinished them in the past and don't have any problem with this.
  
  My question is...Boyd's wants to know the tang length and I have NO clue what a tang is! My follow up question is : Are these stocks that I order a matter of just re-attaching just like getting the old stock off?
  
  Thamks!

  The tang length is the metal part that goes from the back of the receiver into the top of the stock, usually it's also the part where the stock bolt goes into it.
  Measure from the rear of the receiver to where it just goes into the wood, and thats your tang length.
  
  In most cases the metal will fit the wood with out any further inletting, BUT
  sometime you may need to just take a little off where it hits, if it does.
  
  A fully inletted finished stock and forearm should fit without any problem at all.
