mark williams 7,553 Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Keep her looking classic whatever you decide Jimmy. Now then, that cap you want in an alloy etc, try - Geoff Bullock, Liquid Steel Designs ( LSD) Preston Top bloke, I`m pretty sure he can do this for you with his eyes closed. He`ll incorporate any design/ engraving, you might fancy as well. atb Mark. 1 Quote Link to post
pianoman 3,587 Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 God Almighty this looks.....almost......as good as my HW77 stock you refurbed for me Jimmy. No, really, this is looking beautiful already. The beech grain is really beautiful as you bring it out. Weihrauch always sources lovely fullered grains of beech for the HW77. You have to bring this rifle down with you when you visit us next time Jimmy. All the very best dear pal. Simon 1 Quote Link to post

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Like Mark says mate, it's looking a lot better than the original finish already As for the cap, I say go for it ...... If you're going to make your own cap, why make it like the original? - put your own stamp on it 1 Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,553 Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Wouldn`t the rosewood cap from the likes of an Air Arms rifle and lovely white spacer be sized up nicely by you Jimmy ? Just a thought . Matches that 77 butt lovely mate. 2 Quote Link to post

pianoman 3,587 Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 God that is a beautiful stock. Please don't change or coat it with something Jimmy, it would be a shame to lose such a well-figured grain as this. Looks like a fabulous rifle here. HW77s are world class rifles. I adore mine. All the best with it Jimmy Simon. 2 Quote Link to post
