Custom Stock “CS500” Information

[Bear-of-Grayling]

Received a CS500 stock for my HW95. Thought to order this model first and try it with a diopter. Wasn’t certain how comfortable it was going to be considering the comb height. Didn’t really care because the CS500 was for my HW98 anyway and the two models stocks (95 and 98) are interchangeable. Can now report that the CS500 will allow for the use of a diopter however; it is NOT very comfortable. The cheek is really rocking on the cheekbone to get a clear sight picture. This same result be be the case for any open sight configuration and the 500 stock on any Weihrauch barrel breaker. Like a tight fit of cheek to stock especially for scopes but this it to much so. Now have ordered the CS600 Tyrolean stock for this application and will move this 500 to the 98 as planned anyway. Posted a forum just recently on the CS500, HW95, with a diopter and did want to get back with results. Especially if anyone is considering this combination. When the 600 Tyro gets in, will write another forum and post the results. Must say though that shooting the 95 with a diopter is really enjoyable. Keeps the rifle handy and light. As difficult as it was to obtain a clear sight picture it shot it better off hand than my scoped 97. Looking forward to the comfort the Tyro will bring. Would highly recommend having a springer with a diopter in your arsenal of airguns.

Thanks for the info. I plan on getting one of their stocks this year and this post is helpful.

I know it’s a new stock, but have you thought about sanding the cheek piece down to make it more comfortable?

 

[Bear-of-Grayling]

Did think about it. But decided if any stock needs sanding It may be to enlarge the saddle on the Tyro. Have not had any experience with Tyrolean’s because I’m a lefty. Also the Good Lord creating the universe and a lover of empty space, chose to give me a gigantic gourde. My 7 5/8” hat size helmet may not fit into the Tyrolean’s saddle. That’s why these stocks were ordered in this order. Hoping the 500 would work with the diopter. Sure wish there was some good information about this but can’t find any, so time to create some. Always wanted a left hand Tyrolean anyway and while the CS600 is still available, just going forward with it.

This is the 500 stock they sent me for my 95/98. Just couldn’t bring my to start filing on it. Besides, it’s time us “old school” Springer boys give the PCP “big spender” boys something to do a double take on.

One of the reasons why CS UK can sell their stocks at an attractive price point is that they only make them for a specific list of guns with few options. Proper LOP & drop a comb are necessary for accuracy and comfort. You’ve got a nice stock with just a bit too much wood in the wrong place. If it were me I’d be making saw dust. Start by locating where it’s too high then start bringing it down a little at a time with a rasp or 80 grit. With frequent try and see sessions you’ll soon get the comb down to your liking. Go thru the refinishing steps on the cheek piece (Paul says they use Danish Oil). When done you’ll have a stock that’s both beautiful and functional. Uj

Your stock is very Nice.Over time you will probably do what John says.Make sure to take a picture of the part of the stock you wish to modify and downsize ,use that picture for reference .In other words you will be able to tell where and how much to take off and keeping everything "balance" =same shape ,but fitting better.

I'm using this stock on my hw50s, and it's perfect with these sights. Admittedly, my sights may be a bit higher than yours....

Thanks! A forum member by the name of Mike was kind and sent me the front post as it was an extra. (custom made) He had one that was shorter which someone else needed, and I presume another that fit his gun the best. As fortune had it, it fit perfectly. Of course I had to drill and tap the moderator.



The Williams sight is a standard dovetail model. Also happened to be a perfect fit!
