Unique HW97k

Thank you all! It is gorgeous and is currently in pride of place on the table.

It is not for sale and I am in negotiations with the current Mrs Bum for permission to mount it on the wall, but a stern look and thick ear indicate it may not be going my way.

It's really pretty and if General Ursus of Beneath the Planet of the Apes was still alive and interested in some recreational shooting with a springer, I am sure he would swap two of his finest war horses for that 97.

Last year I got a ropey HW97k cheap. I started mucking about immediately and ended up shortening the length by 65mm, the stroke by 8mm and fitted a new genuine spring with fitted guides. It shot really well but still looked rough. I sent it to Paul at Shooters Restorations for a full re-black including Comp tube and gold lettering. When it got back it was amazing, but it put the stock to shame. I tried a synthetic stock first, it was good, but not quite right.....


At this weekends Boinger Bash I found a truly unique stock, a CS800 in stone laminate. Now I say unique, the rumour is they made one, possibly two of these before the laminate destroyed the tooling and they said: "Never again!"


Today I put the action into the stock and fitted a Rowan extra set back trigger. I think it's job done now. It's short, heavy and gorgeous.
Just like me!
