That's some of the nicest grain I've seen on a rifle!

Obviously not a standard HW plank. This one was fashioned by Warren Edwards. It’s big and chunky at the grip but it carries the 80 action well.

It's not often I admit to being envious of another mans wood..Obviously not a standard HW plank. This one was fashioned by Warren Edwards. It’s big and chunky at the grip but it carries the 80 action well.
Just remembered I swapped a BSA Meteor for this one!, The action was Blue-less and the pratt had tried to Biathalon the stock but removed too much and it split in two!! 
I ended up getting two scrap pieces of 1" Birch ply, Glueing them together, Cutting out the inletting and then shaping the outside, It was through necessity as there was no internet to buy stuff back then!!
The one to the left of centre with the light plywood stock!
Got fed up with it and sold it through the AD Mag for £55

Its just a bit of steel sleeve rob . I had a mate who can drive a lathe and a mill machine the flutes in it for me before I got the lot re blued .
It adds a bit of extra weight like but I dont mind a heavy rifle .
Have been toying with the idea of getting a slimeline mod for it aswell , could change it out as and when its only held on with a couple of grubscrew

Thank you , I was quite pleased when it was delivered . Luck of the draw off the peg blank it was.
Dont think I did so bad compared to some of the other ones ive had from them which are still nice stocks in their own right

Just incase anyone is interested in the puddings of it.
Reduced weight and banded piston by Deleted member . Thicker piston liner for reduced diameter main spring. The photo is before the advent of britseals the aussie seal has now been replaced and its running on red

I scratched the itch....I knew this was going to cost meThe more I look the itchier the itch becomes
thankfully I had a few bits I've sold to help fund this.I bought my first HW80 MK2 .22 in reasonable condition, some light pitting but for it's age it wasn't too bad, then this lovely stock off a member on here which should be arriving any day. As soon as I got home from collecting the gun I put around 100 pellets through but the twang was not nice so the action is away to be worked on. I'll post some before and after pics when it's back and all together. I will be using it mainly for hunting/pest control and bit of garden plinking.
Thanks to the forum and artygf who was the previous owner of the stock below and the setback trigger that I bought off him through the wanted section.
Looking forward to getting it all together
So can you detail what Paul does to an HW80?
I have a 97 done by him (amazing) but am interested to know what he does different to an 80?
I always hankered after an 80, but bought a FWB 127 instead (in 1983, which I still own), which looks similar to the Mk I 80 in stock style, but is lighter (and also received rave reviews back in the day).

This 80 was done slightly differently, as its for bell target shooting. My other 80(also 177) runs at low 11's, & the insides of that will be the same as yours, if yours is the titanium piston tune
It is
