Benchrest Martini

Sorry about the delay guys, the producer of this wonderful woodwork has been away on a business trip

Anyhow, to answer your queries:

The stock is built using the original woodwork which is stripped back then built up using a fibre glass based resin. The resultant forms are then rubbed down and finished using automotive '2pack' paint which when cured is as hard as nails.

The guy that does the work makes Target Archery Bows for a living, his company is called 'Bow Too Archery' in county Durham, England. His name is Dave Folwell, he's a keen shooter of guns as well as bows and has done a few stocks for various members of our club. Basically we tell him what we'd like and he comes up with the goods .

Cost? Well you're looking at about the £85 mark plus carriage. He only needs the woodwork from the gun so there's no hassle with firearms law .

Contact with Dave would be best done through myself, his talents don't extend to anything in the PC line, I could pass on any queries or even give anyone interested a contact number for him but I'd prefer this to be by e mail, i don't want to publish his number on an open forum

Hope this answers your questions and Jeff can resume normal sleeping habits and enjoy his food

Snacks and naps have kept me going...

Thanks for the answers, it's truely beautiful work..

I thought that the stock was an after-market replacement instead of modifiying the original. Unfortunately, I do not have the will to alter my existing MK V stock. But, you have given me some ideas to ponder. I shoot my MK V in benchrest matches.

Actually, my plate is full. Just got back this afternoon a 1215 that was rebarreled in 218 Mashburn Bee. The trigger work that was done is absolutely fantastic, light, crisp and no creep. Gonna test fire it tomorrow clamped in a workmate at the range (no stock). I'm also planning a second 1215 project and am trying to decide on 256 Win or 357 Mag.

I've also got a Kimber 82 and H&R M12 waiting for some attention.

Sure am glad I'm retired, 'cause a job would interfer with my naps and play time.
