Laid this up over the last week. Tomorrow I'll see if it'll break open. Two options: A, I've made a mould for a howa mini action. B, I've entombed a howa stock in fiberglass. 176949

Adhesive technologies in Auckland make the West Systems epoxy and stock their other products. I find it cheaper to buy from them, even with freight was cheaper than buying locally.

Thanks for the heads up, I had somehow missed that CarbideNZ had them. I just ordered a M5x0.5 I also got a couple of R8 collets for my mill which are mighty hard to find for a decent price.
