    Hi Tech recent dealings

    Has anyone had any dealings with Hitech since Ken has passed? I got onto a guy called John who was handling the administration a few weeks back who said they were still taking orders/operating but haven’t heard back from him or them since I asked for a price for a stock blank.
    Anyone got any other contacts for them? Cheers

    I emailed them a few days ago and no response. Understandable given the circumstances.

    Hmmmm really, the guy at the sika show said everything is made in house. I told him the dealings I’ve had with Ken in the past and he kinda agree and was horrified when I show him the picture of my hi tech stock. So either a good salesman or a good bullshit artist

    Good salesmen and good bullshit artists generally go hand in hand

    I have one on my custom 7RM and the finish is very good, but it’s really not that light and feels a bit fragile.

    All up in the air now, it seems.

    Yeah that's a real shame, was a great product, shame about who you have to deal with now. Might have to use US made stocks now.
