I like a bit of Walnut, but I do like a bit of colour.

I do like a nice laminate as much as a nice walnut-grained stock, and have owned a number of both over the years. All the laminates, bar one, have been 'factory' however. The HFT500, FTP900, Redwolf blue, AGT Vulcan, Pulsar 'black pepper' have all been factory.

My only bespoke/aftermarket laminate is my HW97k in a Warren Edwards stock...

Walnut is my favourite finish for a stock but since I bought a 110 in laminate, I am definitely becoming a fan 👍
You have had some lovely rifles over the years Ian, fantastic selection of laminate stocks among them👌
 
I've owned a blue laminate HW97 and didn't hate it (with stainless action), but these days would only go for a forest type laminate or the HW100 brown/black. Others are too gawdy for me, and the 'neutral' ones just look like plywood.
 
This is starting to be a rather concerning regular occurrence @TR158 may I suggest someone proof watching threads for you?

I doubt it, but thank you for the suggestion. @Ian Cartmell knows exactly what he's doing by posting such provocative filth. It's costing me a small fortune in tissues, not to mention the devastating effect on our forests from cutting down trees to meet the demand!

I concur, after such a lengthy gallery of pics the resounding “oohs”, “ahhhs” and “mmmm’s” had my daughter wonder what the hell I was looking at!
