Stickier shock. Are these guys serious ?

I don't want to pee on anyones parade but I looked at that sight and it LOOKED to me that it might have been one of those rebuilt and put back in Ord as War Reserve Stocks - with one of the late supplied but approved aftermarket brackets. Anyone else look at this closely?

I could be wrong of course but when those 200(?) or so previously stripped rifles were rebuilt, they went straight back to Ord and were never used.

In a reply back from the DRP, he said it is probably one of a small batch of brackets that he released direct to the trade straight from the forge, the problem here was he was assured that they would be dressed up and finished the same way he does.

You can imagine his dismay at the poor standard of preparation work (or near total lack of it) that has happened to some of them and would say its the case with the one mentioned, for anyone purchasing a bracket direct from Roger, please dont be confused with the one mentioned or seen along with the scope etc on TAS.

I can assure all whom are contemplating on a future purchase from Roger they come cleaned up, sand blasted, parkerized and suncorited and are a top quality product, the reason I know ?

I have two of them and have an order in for the third, so I do stress again dont look at the one mentioned as this is direct from the casting mold.

For an idea of what you get and what the finished article looks like I have put a few pics below, again its for comparrison and this was one straight from the forge which has had my finishing work to it, the paint is suncorite but was brushed on, simple reason for that was a problem with the compressor and wanted paint on it at the soonest as it was about to face the elements of the British weather ( lots of rain)... it has had the same process as Roger would apply and by the way the pic is for ilustration so if you buy a bracket from Roger don't expect the Mk2 scope thrown in on the deal, its worth a try but as much of a nice guy he is, I doubt very much he would include one
