Another stock job for my B28 was done . This stock has Peruvian Walnut tips and Grip pads. The base wood is quartered Hevea with 25 coats of hand rubbed oil . The interior was sprayed with a light coat of black tack paint. (Deadens the sound) The flash does not help the picture. The stock bolts were fabricated out of Grade 5 hardened steel. They are tapered cups that have been blued to match the gun. The trigger guard was machined to fit a tapered bolt that was fashioned and blued. Its a great feeling gun with good balance. The recoil pad has been shaped to fit the stock.
This stock could fit a RWS 350 as well as a B28.
I am now testing a few different springs for maximum power. (Not speed) I will report after my testing. This is one of 3 other Power guns I am working on.
Enjoy !

Well CAP, it looks like you took a chunk of wood from inside your house to make that stock..:) Very sweet CAP. I really like the shade and details you put into it.

Very nice, indeed, especially after seeing so many of the new "space stocks". What, exactly, is the black paint you used for the bedding? Sounds interesting. Know it's not true bedding, but seems to be out of the box! I'm always looking to tame vibration.

You're a real artist C.A.P......great job.

Wooooah now, Chris!!! Slow down for us newbies!!!
I can see the trigger pillar and apparently you felt the trigger group was not strong enough to support the action, so you added plates to it? I think I can see that in the last picture. Do you have a picture of the bottom of the trigger group? I seriously doubt that I would ever get this far into any of my guns, but I'd like to see how that trigger group looks with the plating and how it engages the pillar/screw.
The other trigger screw is a wood screw?
And the fore-end pillars are inletted in and go through the stock? What are they made of?
That's a beautiful piece of lumber!
Thanks,

I take it you inletted the stock a bit to provide room for the liner and eventual bedding? I'm redoing a fairly beat stock and that might be something to try. Do you feel that enlarging the channel is called for?
Reinforcing as you have done is something I've been wondering about since I picked up a Barnett Spitfire (Webley Tracker). It came with a penny sized metal plug that goes part way into a hole in the stock's belly and mates to another hole under the compression tube. (Being a tap loader, that area has sufficient depth to accommodate it.) According to Chamber's schematics, this is a recoil pillar. Doesn't fit tight. Just drops into the hole. Webley really did a heck of an engineering job on its last tap loader designs, so I would imagine the idea has some merit. Been wondering if it (or the principle) could be adapted to other springers. Your pillars may be one way of doing that.

Did you make this stock from scratch or did you mod a bought one?
