For anyone wanting a visual reference, here's link to a pic of my Steve Pope fully customised - stroked, glided and shrouded Tommy.

Wow. That’s very special indeed.

Yeah had one of those too. But stock way too large for my hands (pistolgrip). Didnt shoot much better than my Sidewinder. So sold it. Couldnt afford to keep it back than for collection purposes only. Could use the money for other things.
When I got a good job I regretted selling it. But thats always with such things.
Normally Sidewinders indeed have shrouded barrels and Cobras dont. But the prototype I have was sáid to be a prototype Cobra. I does have shrouded barrel, but it does nót have any markings on it whatsoever. (no name, no model no serial number). So what it is....who knows..
Iirc, later Sidewinders were Longbow based, not Tomahawk.

Yes, I had yours as 3rd owner and it was great (also had a Venom Cobra!). My problem was also one of size, small hands and long action - always an issue with my Tomahawks.
I therefore always preferred the Longbows (BrumBows!) and had a Sidewinder Compact - as the Longbow version was called and also 3 Cobra Compacts made specially for me by Steve Pope based upon the BrumBow.
Regrettably have sold many of my springers now since my arthritis made it difficult to cock them so just use the clinical PCPs now for pest control!

Mine was a Cobra as well. Full length though. Compact Cobra; thats extra special. Nice one-off!
Regret selling it now but only for collectors purposes.
I dont have the issue with size on my lazaglided Tomahawks, nor with my whatever-it-is-prototype. Those standard stocks fit me just fine.
I do have to add that they changed the pistol grip width at some time. Cause I have 3 walnut stocks fitted to the lazaglided Tommies but 1 is noticably thicker than the other two.
I think the older one is thicker.
Love them to bits though. They're my rifles for shoots.
One has developed a 'squeek'. Seems to be the front piston ring expanding in heat..
