A friend of mine has been refused a B709a import permit for a stock because it looks like a military rifle, by a very long streach of the imagination I might add.
As the current ADF sniper rifle has an AI stock letting a civilian have one of these may well be verboten
So if you want to import one of these make sure you have the necessary import permit first before you pay out hard earned $
On barrels, they are all good, with some not so good, no matter what the brand name it seems. Dont get stuck on the brand name merry go round, it is a pointless exercise.
Use what you can get in a sensible timeframe, and at a sensible price. Once the name is forgotten, all barrels look the same on a rifle.
Bill is the number one man here, pretty much no doubt about that. He is most fastidious about how rifles shoot, I like Bill, he's a good man. He armoured the rifles for the AU Palma team to Canada 2007. Bill shoots FS and FO when he gets a chance.
Time is not on Bill's side (like most accomplished G'smiths), so you might not get his attention for some time....I strongly suggest having someone introduce you to him at the range, then speak to him about what you have in mind. On Roy Alexander, Bill only does single shot target rifles, nothing else...sort of self explanatory.
At the same time, you can speak to Dave Felton. Dave is also a very nice bloke, and incidentally, last years WA Queens winner. Dave makes a beautiful stock.
