Anyone know if CS are inletting yet for the LGU?

Mmm, that's cute.

His stocks are a work of art mate

Not to my knowledge

Well he should as that looks acceptable and he doesn't live more than 20 mins away.

I can't imagine tooling is an issue as they must be using cnc stuff - it's all programming isn't it?

Anyway, if they don't want to do it, thats that.

His work is miles ahead of Custom Stocks

I think they need to re name there company they really don't appear to be bothered to keep ahead of the game

John...they just do not like making money...simple as that

I was trying to be subtle Tony, but you're right, maybe they need to employ someone to laser scan inletting and apply the results to the cnc machine?

I would imagine that there is lots more to it than just inletting, overall dimensions of belly of forend. etc.

But, if it can be done, it should be getting done.

Custom stock were using an eight gang copy machine to make their stocks, I know not if they now use CNC machinery to produce them.

If they are still using a copy machine then first a pattern has to be made by hand for the inlet and exterior shape. This will not necessarily be the same shape as their other styles as the depth of the trigger mech ect will be different for all rifles as will the stock mounting bolt positions. This is followed by a master for the copy machine from which all other stocks are produced.

After that they will want to produce and finish eight stocks at a time.

Considering the cost involved in the pattern, master and eight stocks they will need to be very sure of their market before outlaying that sort of money.

[look no hands]

The strange thing is, if you contact them asking about supply for older models (like BSA Supersport/star and Webley Stingray etc) they say they can't and have never done stocks for those models, which I damn well know they have as I've had said rifles with their stocks on, also what happened to the "master" stock they must have made for the HW99 cs500 stock they made for someone the other month?

The thing is I phoned and had a very nice informative chat for 20 minutes the other month regarding a stock for a cs600 Prosport and they couldn't have been more helpful.

I have a cs 800 on order, a total of 6 weeks so it would appear that they are busy, I also have a warren Edwards on my TX, a very good stock. The only small gripe is that the inletting is not as good as a standard stock. CS told me that there is no connection between them and Warren.
