CS stocks

Well I’ve just bought a second hand one off here for my 95, so I’ll soon see what I actually think…

Well that was a good read and in all honesty I hadn’t really noticed when I looked on the site for an upgrade for my BSA S10.
I may well eventually order a plain one but keep eyeing up the sales to see if a nice stock comes up

I think you’ll find it’s limited by the machine they have, it only works in two dimensions, in other words it doesn’t go round the grip, it stay’s parallel to the horizontal. I had this conversation with them and they said if they made them bigger it’d stretch the pattern and some diamonds would would be bigger than others as well as being stretched.

One of the pitfalls of speeding up production by the sounds of it, shame as they are really nice stocks, as already said I’d have a blank one or stippling
 
Looking into this for my TX200, and I would be willing to pay extra for an outstanding walnut stock. Very interesting thread 😎👍

The stippling has grown on me the more I see, but I’d want nicer walnut, rosewood grip cap and schnabel forend in addition and then you’re into £400 😢

I've not long ago popped in on passing to CS, made very welcome, been given a good tour and run-through of what goes on, and I think what they provide is worth every penny. I have a 2009 CS500 on my HW80, took it with skip chequering, upgrade walnut, and it is gorgeous to look at and even better to handle and shoot. Agree about the concerns over the size of the chequering but if I was ordering now I'd do your spec and think that money well spent.

I’m from the ‘measure twice cut once’ old school. Steady as she goes. I’ll probably start on some old off cuts before I let myself lose on the stock later on. Looking forward to it TBH. 👍👍👍

There were some Gunline tools on EBay just come up. If not I got quite a few bits from Peter Dyson.
 
Photo to come later, but on initial fitting, I LOVE the CS stock on my 95. it's lighter, handles differently, the more upright grip and LOP are great, and the (skip) chequering is MUCH nicer and deeper than it looked in the photos.

@Jay Butts - genuinely no offense meant, and that CS500 stock of yours is a nice one, and my favourite of their range, but that checkering is so far out of proportion that it just looks all wrong to my eye.
Really nice grain in the timber though! 👍🏻

I have to agree the grain in this stock is really good but this is out of proportion to it, no offence meant but I think that CS should look into this issue.

I’m going to do it myself mate. I’m good on the tools and love a challenge. Watch this space. It’ll be checkered to hell. 😂😂😂
