Weihrauch HW98 & Custom Stock LTD CS500
- Thread starter Bear-of-Grayling
- Start date
Maybe for the next one but never had a laminate stock, was inspired by the blue laminate on the HW97 and when a link got posted about Craftsman Vit and the ones he makes, it sealed the deal for me.
While they call it Ocean Grey, I asked, he said while he never had before he could make one in the color and my HW95 got dressed up in it for it's 5th birthday in my collection. Scope is a Hawke Airmax 4-12x40 in BKL double strap rings and I added stainless hardware to complete things. I have an R9 .20 here that when money allows is getting dressed up too, just not sure which way yet...lol.

I find it interesting that they use American Black Walnut. You can't really identify walnut origin by looks. That has to do with growing conditions more than anything.

I got this Paul Bishop stock a few months ago for some of the same reasons as you. I have 3 R9's, 2 98's and an R10 that can fit the same stock. Right now I have decked out R9 .20cal. in it that I use for FT matches.
Recently got a UK stock for my Pro Sport and made my own pistol grip cap rather than the one they offered.

Thanks sticman. You are going to be amazed. Your 50 is going to be awesome. How long ago did you place your order?

ordered mine 1/25
Paul from Custom Stock sent me an e-mail promptly after making sure i understood the 4-5 week lead time to manufacture before they ship.
so 2-3 weeks to make, followed by 2-3 weeks for shipping.
i'll mentally prepare myself for 6 weeks and hope to be pleasantly surprised sooner!

If you have not ordered the “select wood” option you still can. Just email Paul and he will set it up.

Custom stock UK does excellent work and I highly recommend them. Pictures do not do the stocks full justice. Gorgeous and the palm swell is perfect. Life is too short to shoot wrong handed stocks!
