I have an old/ MK1 Daystate Huntsman Stock with a Viking (or maybe Wiking) Recoil Pad. I think Custom Stocks in Sheffield made them, but thats just a guess Wheres your pic?
Pic's to be supplied by good guy Johnbaz....
This will be offered 4 sale once identified (on a new thread) It's very well made with hand cut checkering & looks to be hardwood...?The rubber recoil pad has "Wiking" on it & i'm advised it's maybe..Air arm's/Sussex armoury...?I've had it for ages & it's never been fitted...so in really good condition!
Q.1. What does it fit?
Q.2. What's it value?
Any (helpfull) advice welcome..

Hi,i would say Diana too looking at where the end of the cylinder slopes down to the barrel.I had a HW77 tyrolean stock possibly a venom(search my history for pic) which had a wiking butt pad?.

I would concur with it appearing to be for a Diana 52 pattern action.

Must be worth a fortune that....going by £82.11 for a Webley mk3 stock sold on da bay.
Someone did suggest...Mistral/EX88..?
Thanks 4 your "input" Binners....is it you that's got a job lot of Webley Mk.3 stocks you are slowly getting rid of at £80 a go...! Don't tell me...you had a stock copyier for your birthday...
Possibly, but the barrel cylinder junction on an AA sidelever is more squared off than showing in the pics.
Deffo not anything air arms or sussex armouries, i just looked at my Camargue stock, nothing like it
99% sure it's RWS/Diana Mod 52, i'd get mine out but it's in a cupboard in the spare room and it would take ages to get it out ( that room needs emptying )

Thanks John...certainly seems to be favouring Diana...
Well i've used the search facility & i'm going to disagree with it being RWS/Diana 52 is'h....on this stock the action to stock bolt goes into the area where the barrel meets the action....on the 52 it's probably an inch nearer the trigger..unless Diana relocated this design at sometime..?
OK, next thing is how many different sidelever rifles are there and what are they, excluding the 10m target rifles?
Diana - probably not, from above comment
Webley - no
Sussex Armoury - no
Air Arms - no
What others , can't think of any readily.
Hammereli is another...but it ain't that.
Curious 'cutout' at the top, back of the inletting (pic 5) - possibly for a safety catch?
Diana / M&G use centrally located safety levers, that cutout suggests something on the right side of the endcap.
