    UK Importers Hull cartridge don't do one like that.. have a look on Weihrauch's own website.. they don't even list one so i think you're out of luck.

    could always ask hull if they would swop stocks
    or buy a separate wood one
    wonder how much?

    Buy both!
    Then have the nickel plated one in the wooden KT stock for posing n plinking and the synthetic stocked one for hunting.

    This is dangerous thinking
    But makes perverse sense.
    I have made enquiries to see if the two can be combined
    Waiting to hear from HW!!

    I bought a 97k nickel (it's not really stainless steel, is it?) in the black synthetic stock and put its action into a blue laminate sporter stock. The blued action is now in the thumbhole synthetic stock. The blue/silver combo looks very smart, especially when topped with a big Leupold. The blue/silver job is V-Mached and I have today put a Woodfield kit in the blued action (previously a 6 ft.lb. German market job).

    I actually handled a 97 kt synthetic nickel today
    It is a little muzzle heavy, but the wood will be heavier.
    It looked and felt really nice.

    I reflected that I already have around 6 wood/blued air rifles of which 2 are thumbholes
    A wood stocked 97 kt would be too similar
    So I ordered one in 177 ( the demo was 22)
    Still will see what HW say re the hybrid

    Have thought about getting a wood KT in 22 as well

    I was informed today that it should be possible to special order a nickel action 97K in the wooden KT stock. Contact Hull cartridge.
