    Curious about the Webley C1 stock

    Hi Chaps,

    I was wondering about the Webley Carbine C1 (or is that Beeman?) stock. It has been described as a shotgun style for fast handling in the field and to me it looks very attractive (I need to get out more). What is the opinion on here of it? My brother in law is a joiner and has a very well equipped workshop and claims a stock would not be too much of a problem to rough out... though to my knowledge he has never made one.

    So, has anyone made anything like this? Have other actions been used? I ask because a carbine Meteor/Mercury or oh god an Airsporter! in this stock would be something to behold.

    Has anyone made a stock and shared the experience on here?

    I need to stop taking days off as the time ends up being spent daydreaming about stuff like this!

    Can’t help on making it but I believe the inspiration for the stock was the classic American Western Winchester rifle.

    The wood on that rifle is beautiful! Is it a CO2 model? I think you are right about the design coming from this... I often wonder why air rifles just don't use it more often?

    Not mine just a pic from the net of a actual old Winchester. Erma LG10 is the best copy in a air rifle.

    ive got one on display on my wall,amongst others.
    when they came out i thought ''ewww,thats minging'' but as years went on my tastes have changed,now i love it.
    not being a 'shot gunner' i find it strange/alien to hold.it does feel strange on the wrist.
    its made for a quick point and shoot not a sniping weapon and cant really be held for any length of time or youll end up with a limp wrist
    (no offence to any other limp wristed gentelfolk here)
    ive an early daisy single point on mine,plus the opens of course
