    There might be more than one side to the story of the carbon stock company you are talking about.
    As to the lot from the uk, is that not how accuracy international was started more or less?

    @Friwi Yeh there is always 2 sides to any story ,but that does not change the fact he was caught operating out of a Cambridge house for years & had never even applied for the relevant permits or permission while going for lucrative Gov't contracts/sales against those who had & yeh Accuracy International was who l was trying to remember ,from memory they were operating out a small COMMERCIAL premise & just made out they were bigger than what they were at the time.

    The only reason l remembered the name as soon as l saw the stock was l was in the process of deciding on parts for my 300 RUM build at the time & it was all any of the suppliers were talking about & like l say these were popular in Varmint rifles at the time as they were a fair bit cheaper, from memory he had been doing that shit from 2014 or so & once they found out he had never even applied for permits they were going to throw the book at him ,but the company cupboards were bare .
