No shooting today, just another coat of polyurethane on the 97 stock..lol. BTW Krale has some deals on the HW rifles right now, you can save about $50. Been checking them out.

What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
Got up to 26F temperature. No wind, got a morning shoot with a HW97 .177. Or a laser
After lunch and a few chores I tackled a Pro Sport .177. Easily on the favorite list. And easy on the eyes.
Last for the day a cannon a Diana 350
Stubborn at first. Once stabilized, became a tack driver at 47 yds. Crow

Top 2 are my favorites. If I ever buy another Diana it will be the D54, also a cannon. I hope you have your thermals on.

While we're all waiting for the polyurethane to dry on your HW97K stock, would you please tell me how you got the butt pad off of it?
Mine looks like it has screw holes in it, but they don't look like plugs. They look like it's one solid piece.
Our ProSport doesn't even have anything resembling screw holes.
So I ended up masking both butt pads off when I refinished them last year -- but now you have my curiosity up again!
If you wouldn't mind, please?

Well the Prosport had two tiny slits in the butt pad,
and when you squeeze it, would show itself, but it's still a tight fit. I used the smallest screw driver that would get a good bite, and I put some lube on the screw driver so it would slide in there without tearing the rubber. I left the screws in the butt pad.
The 97 was easy because I could see the screws, so I just unscrewed it and removed the buttpad. I took those screws out and cleaned the holes up a little so the screws weren't grabbing the rubber when trying to reinstall, causing the pad not to stay flat.
On yours, I would try and poke in there and try to feel if there's a screw head in there under the rubber. I wouldn't think it would be glued on, but IDK for sure. Maybe take a sharp pick and poke in there to feel around where the screw should be.
