110% utterly and absolutely delicious, Craig.
Evening all, thought some of you may be interested in another lockdown project I’ve just finished.
I wanted an elegant, fast handling stock for my HW77. I have always loved Ivan’s work with the Spartan stocks he creates but I’ve known Ivan long enough to know not to ask him to make one
Shaun loaned me a template Spartan stock and I took it to Warren to get duplicated.
I picked the roughed out piece up from Warren a couple of days later and made a few changes to the shape as a Spartan action and a 77 action are massively different and therefore sit differently in the stock.
Shaping done, it was then ebony capped and sanded ready for finishing.
I wanted the checkering pattern to mimic the Spartan stock that it’s based on, so I decided to skipline checker it in a similar pattern:
Then it was a case of finishing. I chose to do a semi matt and added a couple of forend stock cups.
Handling is sublime and with that little 4x32 on a low mount, it’s nigh on perfect. I’d imagine an 80/95/99 would be stunning in one of these.
I have one more stock project left to finish and then may have a look into a break barrel project.
Cheers, Craig.
Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

That is a complete stunner Craig.
A gorgeous piece of walnut,your checkering skills are superb and I love the London type recoil pad.
Well done mate a brilliant job.

Real sweet kid lovely work but you put the cheek piece on the wrong side
Thanks all - I can’t really take much credit for the stock to be honest. It’s Ivan’s original pattern so all praise must go to him to be fair, I just made it fit a 77. I honestly believe he’s one of the country’s top stock makers. Some of the stocks I’ve seen him make have been breathtaking.
Internally it’s pretty standard 25mm. It’s got a fixed rear guide, a custom seal and uses a standard HW spring - shoots very nicely though.
Best, Craig

That you clever bugger, looks bloody brilliant😀
Never go off half cocked....
All lies matter
Looks excellent, I'd be well proud of that
Making a mockery of growing old gracefully since I retired
Very nice I must say. Be nice if they went into production and started giving CS a run for their money. Mach 1.5
Very nice Craig
