HW/Weihrauch Custom Stocks UK - HW30!!!!

[beerthief]

Stock arrived from Custom Stocks UK on Friday. Very fast turn around and two box packaging. Luckily it flew through customs. Dusted off my HW30 and realized that I had left it cocked for at least two months....

They did an excellent job on the stock. The top of the comb is lined up perfectly. My HW30 slid right in. Really happy with the way it turned out. I highly recommend one. The stippling is awesome and the schnapel front end cups my off hand perfectly (hard to see in the photo).

I have a new Savior rifle case showing up this week for it. Great rifle cases!

Good thing I have an extra HW30 Vortek kit stashed away for just such an emergency I took Monday off, I know what I m doing now

Scope is a Hawke 2-7X32 Airmax and a BKL 260 droop mount, one of my favorite combinations.

So what was your 30 like after 2 months cocked ? I did leave a TX200 cocked for about 6 weeks and after a few shots it was fine , same FPE/FPS as original .

I lost 100 fps and my spring was about an inch shorter. I put a new Vortek kit and VAC seal in it to fix it. Right at 7 fpe with JSB RS or H&N Terminators now.

Does it load up as soon as you break the barrel past the ball bearing.

The cocking cycle is so easy there doesn't seem to be a load on the HW30. Not like my HW50, it starts with a load and keeps getting harder.

I bought an amazing HW30 stock off of SC. Cost 750 idk how he even sold it that cheap . Amazing piece of wood. Plus I sent it out to be grip checked that was another 250 or more.

I know that you're very knowledgeable on this topic. As we both know, a quality blank can cost even more than 1k and upwards of 2k for a display quality one. Seems to me that we've been down this road before and have found the same results. People want high quality for low money. That's not a realistic expectation!! You only get what you pay for.

I got one from Steve Corcoran. He does nice work, but I think he's concentrating in other areas now.

No! Don’t say that! I have some projects I need done by Steve!

This is why my 30s see way more use than my 50 or any other rifle for that matter. I like the size of and feel of the 50 a little more than the 30. But it's no fun to cock for hours like I can with my 30s.
I refuse to take the power down on my current 50 so I'm currently looking for a used 177 modern Hw50 to soften up for extended use. I'll probably put peep sights on it as I enjoy plinking more with them.
