I just got back from doing a few late season Banteng hunts (We did well , got some Monsters) & picked these up from the PO .

G/Day Sarg, you have peaked my interest with that timber mate, where did you get it from thanks. I have a No1 Mk3 in 303.35 I pick up from the Gunsmith in early January wearing a shamefull synthetic stock. A Lee Sppeed inspired timber stock would finish it in the style it deserves.

regards Jacko

I'm with "Jacko" any chance of telling who provided these blanks,

Cheers,

I have a suspicion that they are a reverse import as Geoff has quite a few slabs of NZ timber.

I heard that Geoff Slee was real crook and not doing much work of late. If he is back at work and well thats good news.

I believe Geoff has been undergoing chemo.

Fantastic!

Great that he got the cheekpiece right too.
They're so often miss-shapen saggy colostomy bag looking abortions. The work you show there looks perfect.
Can't wait to see them on rifles!!

Ok , Sorry for the delay on my reply !

Yes Geoff did these , I had a couple of butt stocks copied off a Speeder butt I had .

The other 2 are from his pattern (cheek pad one's).

He is getting better after his treatment & I hope he makes a full recovery !

I did ask him if he would take orders for the duplicated stocks & he said yes , I think that would be good , but don't go rushing him to get it done .

Cheers
