Walnut stock

[jon_h]

Funnily enough been looking myself recently. The cs500 is ok but gets a bit thick in front of the trigger and the cheek piece looks a bit high. Other than that it's thumb hole stocks which I really don't like.

Something like an early venom stock would be great. Think we could convince CS to do a batch?

Well I wouldn't mind another like this, preferably darker - perhaps in HW95 flavour as well:

Money no object: Gary Cane. Clanchief on here has a superb GC stocked 80.

I'm not sure I could justify the price of a Gary cane although I'm sure they are good value for what they are. I'm just surprised there isn't a more mass market refined stock for the hw range other than the cs 500. Bang out something similar to the venom one and I'm sure it would be the most popular stock for any hw owner.

That is PROPER air gun porn. Who made it? ... After seeing that, I've half a mind to remove my spare Webley Omega from sale, sell something else instead (maybe some of my Harley spares), and have it similarly timber dressed and kept for best?

Does anyone from custom stocks frequent the BBS?

[jon_h]

Well I've just sent them a message asking if it's even possible to do a run so let's wait and see.

Brockock had the best walnut stock for me. Oh galleons came the same. no Brockock.

Gareth my understanding is that the Venom stocks as well as Theoben stocks were in fact made by Custom Stocks of Sheffield. In the early days they certainly used 'better' wood than they do today.

I just much prefer the shape of the venom over the cs500, a bit thinner and more elegant.

I agree with you. The nicest CS stocks are the older ones anyway and once 'improved' by Venom and others they are really good. They used better wood than even the best of the current offerings. That being said they are very cheap compared with the specialist stock makers like Gary Cane. We can't have it all unfortunately.

Good morning

The action was done by John Bowkett but he doesn't recall who did the stock.

It's a nice idea and I would be with you all the way, but I think we would need more than 2 of us mate

I think Clanchief has got it spot on, his GC stock is lovely
