Built myself up a HW95k in .25, loving everything about it bar the look of the stock.
Im a lefty, and its a later ambi stock, with the X looking checkering on the front end, ugly! (like this https://www.ronniesunshines.com/medi...5/h/w/hw95.jpg)
Not going to spend 200 on a LH custom stock.
Honestly thinking about taking a router to the fore end, routing out the checkering, and dropping an inlay in there. Anyone see any issues with this, or got any other ideas to home modify my stock?
Thanks!

I agree with you. The Weihrauch marketing department went insane when it thought it should cut the name of the rifle into the stock like it was some kind of Nike trainer.Originally Posted by mrgeoff
The only solution is to attack the stock and correct its aesthetic sins, or to buy a secondhand non-cheekpiece ambi stock like the one they used to fit to the HW85. That is the most elegant of the 85/95 stocks anyway.

lol, my HW35 is a nice walnut Luxus which I recently re-finished.
I kinda like the feel of the ambi 95 stock, just a shame about the X checkering.
Even the HW57 stock has a nicer look, that had the HW logo in it?
Thanks - Geoff.

You could go old school and fit an early HW85 stock, It's a straight swap and in my opinion, Better looking than the modern HW timber!
Chris Hough has plenty of them that came from Hillers supply after he retired, True ambi too as there's no cheek piece on either side!!

Another alternative is to get a custom stock made, I've some friends that have had stunning stocks made by a chap called Warren Edwards, Very tasty they are too
Then there's Custom Stocks of Sheffield too that make some nice patterns for the 95
Thinking on, There's a chap called Geordie on one of the other forums, He makes some beauties too!!

The HW85 stock looks perfect, how much will one of these set me back?
PS, I do have a Gary Cane stock I had commissioned for my custom nickle HW85k. Wasnt looking to spend a lot on a .25 plinker!
Thanks - Geoff.

If you are not looking to spend big money ,
Why not ..... take the stock off , do a little bit of rubbing and customise using a blow torch .
Sounds drastic I know , but done properly and then oiled , they look great.
I've seen it done , incidentally to a HW35 !!!

I've just tried the blowtorch idea on my 97K synthetic stock, and I can tell you, it's turned out a right flipping mess...

It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got a Spring
The original HW 95 beech stock although plain is a well balanced piece of kit that supports the action very well. And lets face it, the rabbits really don't care about stock wood when you shoot them.
