It would be nice if this was for a Handi

It's too bad this guy hasn't got on the Handi bandwagon.  He is making stubs for Contenders now and Encores soon.  I hope he goes the the extra "handi" mile.

That would be nice! I just wonder how much more difficult it would be for an (un) universal system like the Handi.

Thanks, Dinny

I can't see it happening that way for the Handi platform due to the liability of fitting issues.

For a Handi, EV would need to add one step to the process, fitting the monoblock stub.  If you never want to have to shim the monoblock then they are going to have to make it so that the stub will not fit any Handi receiver pivot so that a GS always can remove metal to get a good fit.  Other option would be an adjustable pivot on the monoblock but that would just add money and complexity.  Don't see it happening for the Handi platform. :P

Why be difficult, when with a little extra effort you can be impossible?
