Bobby Hart Laminated stocks

[Deton8tor]

I am considering getting a Bobby Hart Laminated thumb hole stock with the aluminum block, which looks similar to the Whidden V block for a sporter hunting rig I have. Do any of you gentlemen have any first hand knowledge of these stocks with the block system in them? Thanks in advance for the replys.

I have a hart stock ,not a thumbhole but the original pistol gripped stock.Anyways,let me give you some advice if you plan on skim bedding,it wont stick to the aluminum very well unless you tape it off real well and bead blast just the bedding surface's.It is a nice stock but I roughed it up and evidently the one I have had something in the aluminum that it wouldnt stick to.I am over that now and it is bedded the way I wanted it. The fit and finish is really nice and an attractive stock.
