Hi James...we can do you a carbon finish...there might a be perhaps a four weeks wait and it's not as good a finish as say Hitech (but everyone who has one seems happy enough).
Its a stupidly difficult process which makes a classic carbon finish difficult and painting has just been easier. Paint is actually stronger to some degree because we can use toughened resins that don't give a great visual appearance.

What colours do you paint them. Any pics? Cheers

@Fisherman
I see in the pic there is a LH action on your bench. Are you also making LH stocks ? Is there any price difference ? Cheers

If you want a different finish it is very easy to get a stock repainted or hydrographically printed. A few people on here have done some pretty good diy paint jobs.

Yes, no difference.

An older stock which weighed a bit more.

One of my fisherman stocks

Not in the near future.

Clive Judd of Precision Platforms does a real nice stock

I have one of the NZ hunter carbon stocks on my Tikka. Was drop straight in. Makes carrying any other gun horrible now because the Tikka is so light.
