This could be a real boon to restoring, resurrecting, and refurbishing a lot of rifles that would otherwise remain hack jobs. Their price list indicates "civilian" and "commercial" MII stocks as well as MkII target bridge.
This is my website. I do this as a part time gig after my real job.
MY concern with this is the Ross factory cartouches being put on the stocks. I am all in favour of restoring sporterized rifles, but things like proof marks and factory marks are things which were applied at the time. It will be difficult, in years to come, to determine which rifles are original and which are restored if even markings are being duplicated. We have seen this happen with the Luger holsters and such which are reproduced for the "re-enactor" market but can have any maker mark or date applied one wishes; now these reproduction models are being distressed and sold with pistols to increase their value.

Nice work! Would like to see more photos...

Much changes, much remains the same.
It's just a basic website. So limited on pictures and pages that it can have.
I've purchased a reproduction bayonet band and rear sling swivel from altadiver. They are high quality and I would certainly buy from again.
