Wouldn't it be nice if that's what they still cost, what do think the value of yours is now bud?

A stupid question from a non-air rifle collector, but exactly what is a "natural laminate stock"? If there is one thing that isn't natural, and that is laminate in any form.

Brown ,looks like wood, rather than the gaudy colours normally seen.

Most laminate stocks are made up of coloured layers where as a natural laminate is left its natural colour. They are also referred to as blonde laminate occasionally but that term doesn't really work on these Hw77k LE as they are a rich brown.

Thanks. Any pics anywhere ?

Here's a picture of the HW77k-le :
It's a scan of a magazine photograph so the quality is not brilliant.
When I get a chance I will photograph my own example.

Thanks David. Something of an acquired taste for a lover of natural woods like myself, but I think I can see the appeal.

I too prefer nicely figured natural wood stocks, but I do like this laminated stock using natural colours rather than the later HW coloured laminated versions, one of which was green - I call it the garden fence version - and I believe the other was red.

1, natural laminate as in your picture, Hw77k
2, autumn forest laminate consisting of red, brown and grey. Hw77k and full length
3, jubilee and kls hw35, blues, greens and yellows & mixesof those.
4, anniversary, browns and greens very variable shades/ combos hw95
5,centenary, green and silvery grey Hw97k.
6,summer forest, green, brown and grey Hw77k and full length. Lots of variation in colour shades.
7,blue laminate, blue and grey with some black depending on the variant. Some with checkering but most smooth gloss like the centenary. Again a few different shades. Hw97k.
8, red laminate (not actually red but sold as red) green, brown and grey, basically a variant of the summer forest stock again with various tones and shades Hw97k. Mine is very green with hardly any brown or grey.
other countries got the same stocks but not necessarily on the same rifle.
