hw 45 Shoulder stock

[Geezer]

Never owned one, but it's the air pistol equivalent of the Mauser C96, Artillery Luger, or Inglis Browning GP-35.

What's not to like?

A stock so long it would only fit a gibbon that had been put on a rack... that's whats not to like

Oh, and the price these planks go for even without the rare/but essential foresight!

Here's the factory version at full length: http://i.imgur.com/onO23Vr.jpg

Here's the one I made out of a broken walnut Rapid 7 stock: http://i.imgur.com/gdiWXFa.jpg http://i.imgur.com/BW7NXYQ.jpg

Tinbum mercilessly took the piss out of the second example.

I'd forgotten about that!

That first one does look like its made for a gibbon!

Don't forget that with the stock fitted the rear sight will be too close to your eye and will appear blurred (that's why the stock is so long to try and reduce the effect a little) and since recoil is such a key element to the firing cycle you will find that the pistol with stock fitted shoots very high. There was a front sight extension that fitted over the front sight and lifted it up a few mm. I have never seen one of these in the flesh.
In my HW45 days I did acquire a stock but quickly realised its limitations. By all means get one as part of a collection but don't get excited about the prospect....

If you are desperate for one of these stocks they were being sold on sportswaffen schneider not so long ago. There is quite a long drop on the stock which I expect really accentuates muzzle flip. I am now fancying buying one and making my own version of the stock :-)
Just checked the stocks are 50 euros

It's really easy to make your own version. The genuine stock only attaches with a metal plate which fits under the pistol grip on one side. I've seen them made out of old rifle stocks and scratch built from stock. Do heed the warning about the problem with the open sights. I think if you put a red dot on the rails, then with the stock it'd make a nice plinker.
