    Tap in hydrographic printing in youtubey and it'll make sense.

    Jeremy at Auckland Hydrographics has bought in pattern for me that I wanted, just need to get a couple of stocks to him then they can be done, I plan to put a Cerakote clear coat over the top.

    Certainly worth looking at if you are wanting a fancy pattern.

    Not sure why it's upside done. Pretty crap photo but hopefully you get the idea.

    Same chap as Shearer used did mine, Nice guy to deal with.

    I checked and it's got a warranty for as long as the original person has it. Redone for free, none in four years so far.

    +1 for Paul in Tauranga (Gate Pa) he did a Macmillan Sako 75 stock for me about 18 mo ago in kryptek for me. Brilliant job & still looks like new. He's doing a Tikka stock for me at present. Top job for under $100
