Gentlemen

I hope one of you has the right contacts.

I have sent emails to companies all over the US asking to send me a simple, black, grey or midnight lamiated stock, in a classic big game style stock, unfinished and inletted for a long action Ruger 77 mark 2

Well I swear it's like I've asked for a pot of gold, most companies have knocked me back. blaming US export laws, the over the $100 dollar threshold....bla bla

What is up with your export laws in the US at the momment and rifle stocks?

There are part finished and finished laminated stocks, available right now, for sale in the USA form $100 to $200, while in Australia I'm looking at a custom stock starting at around $500 upwards


I have tried:

Boyds - no over $100
StockysStocks - over $100 no unless I want heaps
Bob's gun shop - no
Elk Ridge - no reply
and a few others that I can't remember.

Haven't tried Richards Microfit yet, I wonder if I'll get the same story from them

I know of guys here in Australia that have been getting rifle stocks all the time from other outlets without a problem, is it because some companies are ignoring the law ?

If any of you know of a business who is prepared to send me out an unfinished laminate, for a long action Ruger 77 M2 let me know

regards
S&F
