I have an "out of India" H & H 16 Paradox currently getting its third set of wood (this one by James Tucker, Medford, OR). It was restocked in India with some local wood which looked like fence post and was about as tough as balsa. Not a great choice even for a light and fairly mild recoil piece!

The guy I bought it from said that Westley Richards aided him with the export issues. I think that would have been early 1990s at latest.
