Anyone got the goss on this mob ? What they got, do, patterns etc. Tried but cant find a web site for them. just a blog. Saw some of their stocks advertised on used guns the other day, wouldn't mind supporting an Aussie supplier and their prices seemed reasonable good. Any info good to me. :D

There is a site I was on it the other day when I saw them as well. I try to find a link. I book marked it.

I had a good look around on their site the other day as well - can't find it now though. I also bookmarked it and can't find that either......

I like the look of the Sako L461/A1 varmint stock, and the Ruger m77/22 stock (was thinking of giving them a call about developing a pattern for the M77/17. The site said that they are amenable to developing new patterns as required - from memory it stated that there would be little or any cost to the customer as it would be part of developing their business.

Thanks fellas, I googled them and got the info off their blog that they are developing a new site, maybe why we cant find them now. left a message for them with email address, hope they get some answers to me.

Yeah same here. The Tassi black wood look nice. For the Sako L 461.They also mentioned that you could send thema stock you like for duplication.

all semi finished so would have to get it sent Via Yass for a quick rub 8)

I spoke with the bloke just after he put up all the adds on UGs, seems pretty switched on, he bought in all new machines from the US but has bought all of Slee's old patterns from a bloke in Tassie who bought them off of Slee and some of his blanks, he is also sourcing timber from Tassie & Queensland I believe.

I have ordered an XX grade blank off of him for my Howa, I'm just waiting for him to make it, I'll post up some pics when it arrives.
