I'd certainly be interested in a couple of them. Have several projects in mind.

Both from the blank,
The Cadet is so easy to stock from the blank that there's no excuse for not doing it that way, Joe, I was thinking of the other guys, maybe they might like a machined stock, especially of your design? Besides, If you have 5(?!) in process, maybe it's time to start thinking about a pattern stock, eh? Sure saves on repeated motions. I never particulary cared for Martini's of any size, as long as I 've still got Low Walls and High Walls... but do like your and I'll bet the other guys (looking for actions) do too!

Well alright, I will see about getting them. More interest than I expected. Does anyone plan on bringing in any guns from the UK in the near future? If so I may be able to work out some discount pricing on the importation and shipping.

I would think there would be a real market for these. Why hasn't one of the established importers already done this? Perhaps production costs?
Regards, Ron

I am an importer and am speaking with some folks in the UK currently. I am looking into ways to cut the shipping and other associated costs with a goal of keeping the actions as cheap as possible for the end user. We will see what I can put together. It seems like we have plenty of interest.

[Joe, I was thinking of the other guys, maybe they might like a machined stock, especially of your design? Besides, If you have 5(?!) in process, maybe it's time to start thinking about a pattern stock, eh? Sure saves on repeated motions.
I never particulary cared for Martini's of any size, as long as I 've still got Low Walls and High Walls... but do like your and I'll bet the other guys (looking for actions) do too! Actually only 3 in process right now, those photos were taken years ago. And also actually one of those 3 in-process stocks has morphed into an extra one since its once-planned action now has a new home. So I'll have a spare to use as a pattern for anyone interested. Martinis of all sizes are indeed awkward-looking and awkward for sporting scope use as well, but at least the Cadets can be cleaned from the breech without much hassle. And they won't spit back at the shooter, ever. I agree that the walls are MUCH more visually attractive but also must add that some of Bob Snapp's Cadets are much better-looking than LOTS of walls I've seen (grin). AAMOF some of his Cadets are absolutely STUNNING not so much for their (of course professional-level) finish & engraving but rather for their styling & stocking details and flowing lines. Wish I had some pics of some of his work, perhaps someone else can help on the other thread? Regards, Joe
