Just acquired a lovely brace of AA’s, but now in need of a RH stock.

Does such a thing as a lefty actioned righty stock exist?? If so will it cost me an arm and a leg??

Oh, one more Q. Did AA give their stocks serial numbers, as this has what appears to be just that stamped inside the woodwork?

I had a similar situation crop up about a year ago, a friend of mine died a few years ago, but his parents only decided to sell off his airguns last year, he was left handed and I ended up with his TX200 Mk3 outfit.

Not being a left hander, I contacted Custom Stocks of Sheffield and they were able to supply a right handed CS500 stock with loading port cut on the left.

I imagine they could do similar for your rifle and you could probably also specify no safety ratchet cut out too.

As to the numbering, it isn't AA number, Custom Stocks made that stock and it is their serial number, hence the CS prefix.

And more thanks due. One thing I love about this hobby and forum is that there appears to be jo end to peoples knowledge and their willingness to share.
I’ll have to look into custom stocks further. I’ve heard them mentioned at various times but never felt the need for their services until now. Best get my hobby fund bolstered a bit I think. Lol.

When I went for the CS500, I opted to not have any checkering / stippling or capping on the grip and I had it unfinished so I oiled it myself to keep the price as low as possible.

Good shout, although I do quite like a but of texture to the grip…….

Have been in touch with Custom stocks and they have indeed confirmed that mine is an early one of theirs in beech. Nice to know and adds a little provenance….

Just need to boost the hobby fund now to get a replacement that I can actually use 🤣🤣

Warren Edwards is your man.
He's got the templates to recreate Air Arms TX MK1/2 factory shape stocks and will happily make them in lefthand/right loading or righthand/left loading or any combination you want.
You can also choose the grade of walnut you want, or go for laminate or a number of other woods.
These are a few grade one American black walnut TX stocks that I recently chequered for him.
