    Both you two above show us a pic of a two year old fallow stag you shot last weekend in the spine and neck at 155 yards with your AR15 you got two days earlier on the run as well as witnessed by 4 others

    It looks like shit, carbon fibre doesn't have any benefit in that application, it's too long for my preference, moulded in finger grooves are awful

Be good enuff then would it Sometimes. When people ask questions they may just want realistic answers not bullshit money answers just technical
    Lol he qouted me $800 at the Sika show. FletchNZ was there with me and we both thought it was a fuckn joke. At that price point I would expect adjustable LOP, QD sling attachment points, and a complete lower. But no lets come up with some mediocre design with an annoyingly long LOP, for most people, and make it out of some wizz bang carbon fibre shit, then sell it at a price most people would look at and think "can't be bothered keeping it A cat, may as well sell it".

    Happy its sound like you need a hug.

    If you love it then by all means buy it but don't come crying to us when you spend $800 on a stock and then all AR's are made E cat by an "order of council". The police tried to do it with the thumb hole stock on the SL8 why, -when they get these new powers- will the not continue with their plans?

    If it was me - even if the police don't proceed with an order of council -I would buy a $50 monster man grip and save $750 as that seems to be better value to me.

    Oh and Hamil's are currently selling the stock for $799 at the moment.

    Would save the cash for a E cat safe if things look like going that way, How many would get their E endorsment declined ? if they already own an A cat AR. What would be the conditions, Belonging to a club may be one.

    Would save the cash for a E cat safe if things look like going that way Foxhound

    for $800 he can fuck right off Beavis

    Fletch Foxhound,Beavis,
    it was a freebie.. I was just trying to see if someone had tried one before I bothered fitting it... Not realising it would turn into a slang off match about the producer and his pricing..

    I didnt spend money IT WAS FREE !!! OK Sometimes I dont read everything either before I put my foot wrong place. Thats Free ,Gratis,Nada ,Zy ro, zero dollero ..

    My fault should have started conversation like " From a technical point of view fitting,weight,strengh,durability prospective (NOT MONETARY) what do you guys think of these??

    Has anyone tried one? If so what were your thoughts ? The manufacturer can worry about his method to market and if hes too expensive he ll accumulate stock not profit. That was never my concern.

    I don't know anyone who has bought one so I cannot comment on the technical points of that stock - however from using thumb hole stock before ( I assume its has the same aesthetics) it pays to have an ambi safety as you are no longer able to operate the left side safety with your thumb

    Yep...Ask a question get a barrage of how much the supplier charges and all sorts when price wasn't the question... Never mind teach me to word my queries
    more accurately so hopefully you dont invite price sensitive results, just no havent tried or no response or yes have tried heres what I found,,

    By the way that bit I got from you is Awsome and you were right it works great..

    I thought based on the options of everyone none of the above applies
    It's simply:
    -ugly
    -overpriced
    -has ergos of a frozen poo

    You seem to have taken it very personally...
