Retired Mod & Airgun Anorak Extraordinaire
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?Originally Posted by copperjacket
Well I wouldn't mind another like this, preferably darker - perhaps in HW95 flavour as well:

Does anyone from custom stocks frequent the BBS?

Brockock had the best walnut stock for me. Oh galleons came the same. no Brockock.
the only thing i can find wrong is the nut on the steering wheel.
'Courteous Curmudgeon'
I have used a number of stocks on my HW80. Currently my FAC .22 has a CS500-simple uncluttered lines perfect for 'sporting' use. My 2 legal limit 80's have CS700 and my favourite CS800. I recently acquired a lovely CS500 for my HW95 which suits it perfectly.
In terms of price the CS stocks are very reasonable whereas the more exotic examples-Gary Cane to name but one-cost a lot of money. The original Venom stocks are lovely but hard to find. Th modern CS ones are perhaps not as nice but provided you get one with the rosewood cap and properly fitting butt pad you won't be disappointed.

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.That is PROPER air gun porn. Who made it? ...

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

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