    You can't add a post like this without putting up a picture

    I have always wished I had the skills to make a FWB300 style stock for an HW30 ( or pockets deep enough to pay someone to do it for me).

    Please find enclosed (crappy) photos of my HW30S in the Warren Edwards stock.

    ( Adjustable butt pad removed to reduce length of pull )

    Have fun

    Hi Russ,

    I didn't mention that we had two stocks made at the same time - just in case you wanted to keep it to yourself for the time being.

    Your have already taken a rasp to yours to make space for your lay-back trigger and removed the adjustable butt plate to shorten the reach.

    I will send you some pictures of mine. It looks slightly different to yours as I still have the adjustable butt plate that came with the stock on mine, and I use a standard trigger so I have not had to modify the grip either.

    I will order some M6 stainless cap-heads to replace the black steel ones that came with the stock and I will send you some when they arrive as I know you like the bling

    Stay safe!

    Bob.

    Bling!

    Bob and Russ

    If its bling you want, you'd like my polished alloy stocks (sunglasses job!!) I have on my KK 500 and my TR 7.62!

    I stock 6 mm stainless button heads, they look much nicer polished! Let me know the length, and how many to do both, and if I have them I'll shoot some off, I have the address of Chateau Zooma!

    Have Fun

    I have just been looking at the pictures your sent to me this morning of your super-shiney rifles.

    You have taken bling to a whole new level and probably contribute quite a lot to the profitability of Solvo Autosol

    Have you considered wearing several gold rings and heavy gold chains and taking up rapping to complete the image?

    Stay safe,

    Wow!

    Thank you for posting.

    I love the little HW30S, as do many learned peeps. I have four of the little gems and was thinking how nice it would be to have a FWB300S stylee stock made for one. Now Warren's done one and has the dimensions, this would open the door even more.

    Now all we need is some spare dosh..

    Thanks again.

    Hidden Bling

    Hi Robin,

    The HW30S only uses two cap head screws to hold the mechanism into our new WE stocks, a 45mm in the front and an 80mm in the rear, but these are inserted from the underside so the bling would be somewhat hidden!

    Russ and I could walk around holding our new toys above our heads so whenever we look up we can see the undersides of the stocks and admire the polished heads of the bling-bolts peeking out from their recessed mounting holes, but apart from that (and when they may be put into a rifle rack) they would remain invisible in normal use....but we know they won't rust!

    Not being a clever type with the MAC, I am unable to post the pictures on here of my HW30S with its new WE stock fitted, but I have sent some pictures of it to Russ (and yourself) , and you will be pleased to see that the "left handed" Anschultz rear sight that you gave me to use on my new HW30S (about 3-4 years ago?) is still being used on this rifle - and it works very well for me.

    The sight stands up well and with the new WE adjustable cheek piece it gives me a good comfortable sight picture.

    BTW - I notice that even your 7.62 barrel needs its own sun shade (very trick) and with so much bling you should be able to dazzle any opposition - even without the rapping

    Stay safe!

    Bling screws in this case a HW95. They will fit a '30.

    The sun shade is a mirage band, its stops the heat from the barrel disturbing the sight picture, a 60 shot match they get ****ing hot! As you can guess on Pam's rifles they are purple, mine are usually orange!

    The glare disturbing competitors? No point getting old if you don't get devious!

    Have Fun
