Thank you Josh.

Doug, let us know how you get along with that. I'm thinkinig about one as well.

Thanks

Mike

Been trying to call the past few days. No luck. Anybody had any luck getting thru to order the stocks?

I would also be interested to know if anyone has been successful in reaching Mr. Bridges.

Same here.

I also posted this thread over on AR and the phone numbers I got there are a no go.

I sent Rick a PM asking if maybe he could contact Mcmillan and see if he could sell the stocks here.

I’d be in for a few if they could.

I spoke with McMillan a few months ago. I was told that it's been over a year since they've heard from Mr. Bridges, but when I asked if I could order one from them the answer was no: the design and rights are owned by HCR, so any chance of getting a stock is through them, and from what I understand the only way to get it is as part of their accurazing package. I just can't justify spending $2000+ for a $600 stock. I wish they'd just sell and bed the stock without it being a part of their package.

BTW, I've looked at the MPI Dakota design and it looks like it might be an option: nice open grip and pretty light-weight, much like the Bridges.

"I'm in" for one Left Hand Rem 700 inlet, if Rick can arrange.

Mike, a few months back I called HCR after not being able to contact J. Earl and was told they are no longer involved with the Bridges stock.

Although at the time I did not speak with Matt.

Difficult to know what the truth is, maybe Rick can clear that up.

That's good information. Hopefully that means somehow/someone can free it up.

I’d like to find out if we can or cannot get them. I’ve got a couple I’d like to order. If not they’ll just get the plain old Compact EDGEs I guess. Good info fellas. Thanks for running it down.

Talked to my pard yesterday and he said Earl no longer works for them. Mr. Bridges was having some health issues last year and moved back to Missouri to be with family. He was going to check in with him and see if he was back to working some and get me an update.

Rick responded to my PM. He is looking into it.

Thanks Josh for the heads up. Appreciate it.

Was able to get in contact with Mr. Bridges. If you guys are still interested, PM me and I’ll give you his new contact number.

I just got off the phone with Mr. Bridges at the number Josh sent me and was able to order two stocks.

Thanks Josh!
