Interceptor stocks are crafted from epoxy with glass and kevlar reinforcement, with a durable epoxy gel-coat outer layer before a final textured 2 pack paint finish.

The bedding area is made up with a hard solid fill of epoxy and resin; the butt and forend is an epoxy and glass ball fill for balance. The materials are of the highest specification and type approved for composite aircraft construction. Standard colour is black, other colours to special order.
