    Hw30 custom stocks?

    I'm loving shooting bell target with my hw30, but I can't shake the feeling that a target stock would make it even more enjoyable.

    Has anyone been down this road before?

    yorkiets,

    Modify the HW30 stock

    I have done this with my HW99S stock - which IIRC is the same as the HW30.

    I have shortened the butt by ca. 40 mm, and added some epoxy to build up the grip to an almost vertical pistol grip, allowing a straight line for my trigger finger that is parallel to the barrel.

    I don't know who designed those HW stocks, but you need arms the length of a gorilla's, and ten inch fingers to reach the trigger

    To finish the job off, I have painted the stock with Ford Electric Orange pearl paint

    Have fun

    Best regards

    Russ

    I'm sure I speak for everyone, Russ, when I ask to see a picture of this beauty!

    Hear hear!

    And I'd like to know if it predates Nick G's vile looking bright orange CS1000 stock, that I seem to remember he painted around the middle of last year.

    Rooti, Yorkiets,

    Here be some photos of the HW99S - the ones taken at home are crap, but the ones taken at my mates workshop show the colour better

    Thanks for that, Russ. Nice paint job.

    Has it added a lot of weight?

    yorkiets,

    WRT extra weight :

    I have just weighed it, and my HW99S complete now weighs 7 lb 5 oz.

    I don't know what the weight of a standard HW99S - I have seen between 6.8 lb and 7.2 lb on the Interweb.

    So, I suppose it is between 4 oz and 8 oz heavier than standard.

    Have fun & a good weekend

    Best regards

    Russ

    I've got a custom stock for my HW30 it cost about a million pounds because I got it from America. It is pretty though!

    Vestlenning, nice stock!

    Any tips on how you machined inletting? I've just ordered a roughed out HW99 blank from Custom stock, which I'm going to inlet and finish to suit my '30. Any info appreciated!

    Thanks!

    The stock is made from 15 + 9 + 15 mm plywood. I took some material away from the the middle pieces before gluing it all together, like this:

    Then I finished the rest of the inletting with chisels and a rotary tool.

    I have a nice piece of mahogany in the workshop that's just the right size...

    Tempting.
