Stock Inletting

[novice]

Does anyone have any direct experience of having a "flat top" stock inlet for an action not normally offered as an off the shelf option?

Looking to base a rifle build around a left hand heym sr40 action. As part of this would I like to replace the stock. Have sourced a boyd pro varmint in walnut, currently uninlet. Although as an alternative, believe GRS also supply stocks uninlet, and maybe mcmillan also.

I understand HPS will inlet a stock on this basis, and also been pointed in Brian Fox's direction.

Anyone else out there doing this, and any indication of the cost for the basic inlet, as would probably be having it pillar bedded in addition. I believe HPS around £200 mark, but that may be an agreement with Form Rifle Stocks for work on their stuff

I've not got the skills or inclination to attempt this myself, so looking for someone with the right kit and experience to take it on.

Cheers

It might be worth making an enquiry with J.R. Firearms near Dunstable. I don’t have any personal experience of using them but I believe they have the necessary skills and equipment.

Yes. Definitely contact Jack at JR. He did a left handed Heym into a stock for a friend of mine recently and did a superb job for a very reasonable price. Fast turnaround too.

Sorry this isn’t much help but make sure your put some pics up - SR40 is a nice action cool basis for a project. What calibre?
