I have a 77 and 80 Vantage i do like these stocks , they have a slim fore end.

Their Tyrolean stocked variants (Venom Gun Barrel era ?) , I know they were offered for 77's and 80's, were they available for others ?

I recall BSA's being listed on early adverts, along with HW's FWB's and BSF, but I think this before customised versions were bespoke enough to warrant their own name.

Mach 1.5, don't you have Steve's old 55t ?

Early Venom stocks,
HW77/80 Tyrolean = Hunter
HW77/80 Thumbhole = Varminter
HW77/80 Vantage , later the Tyrolean stock was discontinued and the Vantage stock was then called the Hunter stock.
HW77/80 Diana52 Air Arms Shamal = Trophy (field target type stock).
Daystate Huntsmans sporter type and bullpup style
HW85 sporter style.
HW95 Hornet sporter style a bit like the Vantage/ Hunter.
Piranha 38 Based on a Diana 38 made exclusively for Cindy,s shooting shop with a custom Tyrolean stock
Plus a load more one off stocks made for customers.

I actually ordered a leftie 80 Lazahunter following a prolonged period of drooling over this particular ad. When finally picking the gun up in May 2005, I was advised that the stock had been hand finished by Ivan Hancock and was one of the last he did personally prior to retirement. The gun is as good as ever and has only required one main spring replacement following many tens of thousands of shots over the years. It is in fact probably my most prized possession still.
Will definitely be following me into my grave......

I've often wondered why Steve pope doesn't build vmach rifles in the same capacity as venom arms once did complete with show room.
Surely he can replicate the vantage, varminter etc.. From his past experience
I'm certain that there would be great demand better still buy back the venom name from Webley.
