HS Precision contact ?

Like the title states. I've looked at the HS website, and there's no contact info. I even tried an Internet search specifically for contact information. I'm trying to contact HS if they can repair a cracked stock.

The stock cracked where the rear portion of the receiver beds in the stock. This happened when I was tightening the action screws after replacing a trigger. The bottom metal was fully seated in the stock, with a couple of taps with a nylon face hammer. I also torque the action screws in incremental steps by 10 inch pounds until I get up to the recommended torque value with a Wheeler FAT. I had got a 55 inch pounds on the front action screw. As I went to tighten the rear action screw from 50 inch pounds to 55 inch pounds, I heard a cracking sound. So I stopped and inspected the rifle and saw the cracks. I disassembled the rifle from the stock, and the rear pillar is in full contact with the bottom metal. I could see if maybe I didn't have the rear portion of the bottom metal fully seated, but that wasn't the case.

This is why I really don't like the HS precision stocks. They're too fragile.

Some years back H & S specified 65 inch-pds. so it should have held at 55 with no issues.
 
SecondsCount,
Thanks.

One more of my dislikes for H.S. stocks, is every factory rifle who used a H.S. stock that I've seen, the barreled action is not centered with the stock. The offset is visible by how off center the barrel is relation to barrel channel in the stock. Some of these rifles were mine with four Remington 700. One 700 PSS, two 700 VS, one 700 Light Tactical. Every one the molded in beading block was not square with the stock. And I went as far as measuring the barreled actions to ensure the barrels were square with action. They were typical Remington machining tolerances were, but not so bad as to offset the barrel as much as I've seen.
