Guest varmartin Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Col...my new Bell & Carlson was only £215...you could get x2 for one Mc stock....and they ain't half the stock the Mc is !!! ( if that makes since) If you dont like the shape of the fore end there is enough material to make it look like an A2 or A3 by re-shaping it.?? There is a section on the `hide` about the stock work... What do you think...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Tell you what Martin, you had the deal of the year there, unless Wayne has any stock left, there wont be any more at that price. They cant be bought for that now trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest northernchris Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Was going to say £215 seemed like a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermincinerator Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Hi Colin, I just worked out that a personal import of your chosen stock dirct from Mcmillan would cost £423.94, thats including all shipping and duty and tax at the new rate of VAT at 15% and duty of 6% I would have thought it would be even cheaper to you as you are in the trade?????

Ian. that is based on a decelerator pad and the metal work Ian. did you forget to add this?? and yes it would be a bit cheaper for me,but i feel it is to expensive for a stock.

Vermincinerator Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Yeah, i forgot to factor in the adjustable butt hardware. These stocks only become expensive once they have arriveed on our shores, take away the shipping, tax, duty then add a decent exchange rate and they become "cheap" stocks. However, i reckon that if they were made here they would be even more expensive then what they are now Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ian personally (and i don't want a argument about this) i think that mc Milan's are the best out there,and are hard to beat. i would have sent for a couple with out a moments thought,but i have a new set of eyes on order (£4,000,00 ) and they are meant to be being fitted December the 6th all being well. all so i have a work shop to build,this i keep putting off but i will get it done.so at the moment its hard to justify 2 new MC Milan's when you all ready have to on the rifles all ready. if someone was to match the MC Milan's then yes i do believe they would be more expensive over here.
