Staffordshire Synthetic Stocks.

Cass

I'm on the lookout for a new stock and while i thought i had one sorted turns out i'll have to go another direction. I started looking at the usual suspects from Boyds to McMillan to Robertson, etc. then onto custom made ones.

I had a quick look at Staffordshire Symthetic Stocks and their selection hasn't really changed but one did take my fancy. Not an out and out winner, but a nice stock none the less.

I e-mailed the owner Danny. He informed me that the website is the original one which has not been updated in years. They had it when the company started and are very close to launching an all new site. So the stocks on the old site have been improved on with some new models while others have been discontinued.

I asked him for any info he could provide so he sent me the pictures below. He says the stocks are all new and some are still in design phase. There are a variety of colours and finishes other than those in the pictures. The range will include a new range of fibreglass/Carbon/Kevlar, pistol/rifle/shotgun stocks, recoil-pads, and other over-moulded-rubber component-parts that they make in-house. They are also branching out and doing new custom rifle-actions, DBM systems and stock-chassis.

I'm waiting on a price list so i don't know anymore than ye on that front.

Anyway, thought i'd share the pictures. Everything seems to be centrefire but he told me they still do rimfire stuff.

Hi Cass,
Did you ever get prices on these.?

Cheers

Cass

I'll be honest, i forgot all about them.

I'll lash off an e-mail and get one now.

Cass

I've sent that mail, long overdue, and am awaiting a reply on inlets, prices, etc.

I'll update when i get more.

i got a stock recently from danny at stafford synth stocks and i have to say you could not deal with a nicer more competent person email him directly he will give you any prices you need only problem is the postage it wont post by conventional methods

I emailed SSS myself around that time Cass and we bounced a few replies back and over. As fieldcraft says above, Danny comes across as very sound to deal with and seems to know what he's talking about. They do have some tidy stocks but I opted for a different solution to the problem I was facing. His prices vary depending on exact requirements but I would definitely keep him in mind for anyone thinking of changing stocks.

I spoke to Danny way back when he was only doing a small few stocks, then again when i started this thread and as you said he was quick to reply and an all round nice bloke.

I got a reply from him within the day and he has offered to send me even more stocks he is working on, and a full price list. So i'll stick them up when i get them.

Have been in contact myself with Daniel recently and must say he is most helpful to deal with
