    ....I'm assuming you haven't heard about a recent incident that put the business into a state of flux? If you know why they may be a bit slow in responding, you are a cunt. If you don't know, then maybe you should have a look through the forum to find out why you haven't received a response.... @Larskramer - you may be in the same boat?

    Looked at Southfort and HiTech Carbon Fibre stocks a few years ago for a restock project. IMO the HiTech was much better so went with that and never regretted it. Rifle handles better, shoots better and dunno if it's imagination but recoils seems to feel more dampened...?? Wanted to restock a couple of other rifles but Ken didn't do inletting for them.

    I had not been aware of any issues. Hence my question on this post. Had it been important enough a matter that I needed to look into it, I'm sure I would have found an answer online, yes, or on their website or FB page (nope). The above post merely reminded me of my prior inquiry.

    Thank you for bringing this to my attention so eloquently.

    No point in eloquence - I apologize if you weren't aware, but stand by my comment if you were berating the business and knew what happened.

    Yes nice stocks, yes still in business after Kens untimely death.
    I went threw Terminator Products to get my latest.....ordered just after...

    Perhaps going threw a dealer with previous history with the company may help with getting replys/stocks.

    I know of his death, RIP to ken, I have 3 of his stocks, pre ken and post ken. they are all great quality, but the company is hard to get reponses from even when placing an 1800 order. I went through another company who supplied it to me for the same price within a few days of ordering.

    I dealt with Ken directly, rang him about a stock for a sako black bear, met him out front of the workshop the next day, and collected the rifle less than a week later. Bedding was excellent and it was considerably cheaper than what he had initially quoted, couldn’t have been easier.
