    I live approx 10 min walk from what was trap shot of lye it is now a convince store, not convenient for me I have to travel to merry hill (DAI) to buy pellets now😩
    Unfortunately even with my close proximity to the venom home I still don't own one and probably never will

    The one on my 80 is a Custom Stocks item. I'd always been told it was a Vantage, but it looks exactly like the Lazahunter Custom in that advert. The Goldstar is in a standard BSA stock.

    I really wanted one of those in 1980-something.
    You are right, it was just the BSF Bavaria Venom.

    Their Tyrolean stocked variants (Venom Gun Barrel era ?) , I know they were offered for 77's and 80's, were they available for others ?

    I recall BSA's being listed on early adverts, along with HW's FWB's and BSF, but I think this before customised versions were bespoke enough to warrant their own name.

    Mach 1.5, don't you have Steve's old 55t ?

    Early Venom stocks,
    HW77/80 Tyrolean = Hunter
    HW77/80 Thumbhole = Varminter
    HW77/80 Vantage , later the Tyrolean stock was discontinued and the Vantage stock was then called the Hunter stock.
    HW77/80 Diana52 Air Arms Shamal = Trophy (field target type stock).
    Daystate Huntsmans sporter type and bullpup style
    HW85 sporter style.
    HW95 Hornet sporter style a bit like the Vantage/ Hunter.
    Piranha 38 Based on a Diana 38 made exclusively for Cindy,s shooting shop with a custom Tyrolean stock
    Plus a load more one off stocks made for customers.

    I've often wondered why Steve pope doesn't build vmach rifles in the same capacity as venom arms once did complete with show room.
    Surely he can replicate the vantage, varminter etc.. From his past experience
    I'm certain that there would be great demand better still buy back the venom name from Webley.
