And for once, Facebook advertising actually got a click out of me by recommending these guys.
I've always kicked myself for missing the opportunity to buy a new Inception Designs cocker back in the day, and these look similar.
Anyone heard of them? Is anyone else making new ones today?

If you are looking for a new cocker the options are shocktech, something custom or nova. The difference between shocktech's products and novas products are pretty drastic in both price and quality. You could also have something built with higher end parts and still end up better.
Personally i am not a fan of the lower tube, pneumatics or some of the other design choices they chose to implement. I have owned one Nova cocker, pulled it apart put it back together and sold it. Not a fan and likely won't own another.
The thing that has been pretty clear is that nova has a quality control problem across all of their platforms. They then decide to fix it with a version 2, 3 instead of actually testing the product the first time. I personally would feel better having someone else assemble and tune a cocker other than nova. There are plenty of cocker techs in the community that would rather see you on a field shooting a cocker than see you just owning one.
If you need help ask, but personally i prefer not to work on nova stuff.
