Middlestead Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I'm already thinking of one........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17 Rem Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I do indeed have a thought, as you asked. I thought that everyone knew better than to even think about dealing with Roedale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrek Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 i could imagine it being a fairly easy job to inlet an AICS for a tikka, a sharp end mill, a vernier caliper and a couple of hours going spare?? possibly the square edged tikka actions would make it look more like an AW?? ( at a distance??) haha im not planning on doin it, get on with the stocks my tikkas are in already! An expensive peice of aluminium if you were to order one mind you!!

ejg223 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I met Pete last weekend and we talked about that stock. Apparantly it's very difficult getting parts in from the states reliably. Roedale is investing quite a bit in getting kit manufactured locally to avoid the long wait. I fitted one of his own made mag systems to a howa recently and thought the workmanship of the system was excellent. I also met the chap who runs the outfit that supplies the cnc parts. I'm sure we will see a few new things comming from this combination especially since roedale has employed two staff. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I think you will know better than most, Edi, just how much a set of dies for an injection moulding machine, to make AI skins would cost ? i would have a rough guess at £100,000 ? I take it the stocks aren,t being supplied by sporting services here then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejg223 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Your guess could be fairly close because that bugger has a left and a right skin. I don't know how Roedale is gonna cross that bridge but one can take a few short-cuts when the output is not expected to be too high. This can bring tooling costs down. For instance slides in the mould could be left away and one could mill or drill in the skins in a seperate step later. Maybe even manual extraction out of the mould. This all could bring a mould down to maybe £ 30000,- at a very rough guess. No risk no fun, also for the injection moulding companys which often charge tools under cost to get the product rolling. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 As I understood it Roedale are using standard AICS skins on their own milled chassis? I can't see how the volumes can possibly be high enough to justify injection tooling. TC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
