1980s Webley factory tyrolean stocks

[Geezer]

As many of us know, Webley briefly in the mid/late 80s offered factory tyrolean-stocked variants of the Vulcan, Tracker, and Viscount. But sold very few. I’ve always assumed they were from Custom Stocks in Sheffield, but can anyone confirm that for sure?

See pics on the VAG below. Looks very CS to me.

The stock is very different to the cs600. There is less drop to heel and and different butt pad to the CS, also the pistol grip is very different. I have a factory tyrolean Vulcan and had a cs600 HW77 in the early 1990s. Very different stocks but I have no idea who made the factory webley tyro/sporter custom stocks.

The gun I have was bought by a friend from The Mart in Lowestoft around 1987. He then took it to Venom who tuned it while he was there as part of a school project. It was always inaccurate, I gave the action away quite recently and put an sfs action in the stock and fitted a Chambers trigger. It's not bad now, very smooth and pretty accurate. The top edge of the fore end is incredibly thin, it's a distinctive stock. I'd try to put a picture on here but it seems to be an arse ache.

They also made a sporter version for the same stock, I'm not talking about the deluxe walnut, other than the comb, the design of this sporter was identical to the tyrolean

This is a CS on a modded TX, I did change the front a bit but also think the Webley looks a bit CS style at the back, that's not to say obviously it is like one of their standard range of offerings, but as Geezer says, just something about it.

The quality of finish and inletting is way ahead of CS stocks of the time.

It looks very much like a camargue stock and they were made by CS - when I last spoke to them they had a chap there who used to make the camargue stocks, (they are always happy to do a refurb on one of their old stocks and it will come back looking brand new).
