Ya, I was thinking that was a poor picture or a stock beech gun picture used ... If it is the walnut picture that's some bland plain Jane looking walnut ..

N/A New hw95L option?
- Thread starter Hateful McNasty
- Start date
There will likely be better looking (Walnut) stocks, but not AA quality ........ Weihrauch has never appreciated top notch stock designs/woods.
Since Minelli can produce excellent stocks, it's up to Weihrauch to pay for more than "functional".
Weihrauch stands for excellent metal work/design, but only average or slightly above average stocks.
However, their Lexus stocks are nice, albeit a bit clunky ............

On the cheap they could of use hatsans Turkish walnut stock suppler. Then maybe that's there suppler anyway ?
Still being in this recession or inflation time and malot of folks money tight why introduce a more costly gun ?
I still think a lower priced nice sl synthetic stocked 95 would of been a seller right now .. then what do I know ..lol

The 95 pictured is definitely Walnut. The thing is they simply used a cheap spray (muddy) stain and clear coat. Just like the Beechwood model. At $130 bump, then selling the Beechwood stock as a new takeoff $220, you have $350 towards a custom stock. Around $500 from CSStocks Ltd. Better way to go, IMHO.

A HW95 at $50 above the price of an HW80... And $10 less than an HW98, if I were in the market I'd think that HW95 was a bit overpriced, even if it was dressed in walnut. Not for nothing, but my plain-Jane HW95 has been a fantastic utility gun, nothing I'd want to really get banged up, but a scuff here and there won't break my heart.
I'm sure for some the walnut stock would give the HW95 some class, but they probably wouldn't use it like a utility gun either. I'm surprised they didn't go with a synthetic or possibly a laminate option. I'm sure they'll sell out, the HW95 has a strong following, it is a good gun no matter how they're dressed.

I see a bad picture of a nice walnut stock with fiddleback on the butt end.
I would strip it, reshape it, and remove the ambicrap side cheekpiece so no southpaws (Hee! Hee!) can use it. Then wet it and see how it looks. Might need some stain, might not. Then finish it. Walnut is very nice to finish. The checkering? Nice pattern. I'd chase that out with files and now it's hand cut.
Brag up Air Arms walnut but a lot is just straight grain English walnut. It's a lottery there too. We've seen a few pretty HW35's lately as well.

I kinda got to agree with just Zack above I ride mine hard and put up wet and the utility catagory sounds right..lol
I buy to use however wherever not so much to admire on a pedestal.

Hey Nasty,
We already have a pretty good understanding of what you'd do ---> unnecessary information
.However, if you're gonna spend the $$$ - might as well take care of it. If it gets dinged badly, refinishing is "Easy" (unlike Beech).

Maybe HW will make you a cheaper all plastic 95. You can bang it around, put it up wet, and it will never rust.

Be nice cause they do rust easy vs others.Maybe HW will make you a cheaper all plastic 95. You can bang it around, put it up wet, and it will never rust.
It's not like he already has synthetic stocked / supplier anyway so how hard could it be ? Seems coming up with walnut was more .. or should say less cost effective setting that up for production .
Then being a AoA exclusive item probably at no risk to them if there sellers or not . Maybe AoA footed that bill ?
