Description

B-STOCK AirWolf Stock Thumbhole Black #212

With gauge cut-out, composite Tactical finish

This is a B-STOCK AirWolf Thumbhole Stock in Black (#212), made by Staffordshire Synthetic Stocks. This stock is ambidextrous and is the version with the cut-out on the left hand side of the forend. So it will best suit earlier models (ie not those with an info display LCD screen on the breech).

It is genuine Daystate factory replacement ‘woodwork’ and fully functional, but due to some slight blemishes or other reasons, it is not in the condition Daystate considers ‘new’. We are therefore able to offer it as a B-Stock item, at a reduced price that reflects the imperfections (see condition report below).

What is B-Stock?

A ‘B-Stock’ item is a product which we consider is not ‘new’ (or ‘A-stock’) for a number of reasons. It may be because there is some cosmetic flaw, imperfection or damage, that spoils the look of the item, but which does not stop it from properly functioning. In some cases, it may be a test item that’s been returned, so we can no longer sell it as new. We offer such B-Stock products at a one-off, reduced price and provide a fully outlined condition report of it. B-Stock items are inspected, tested and sold as being fully functional. They are also offered with a six-month guarantee against faulty workmanship. However, any flaws outlined in the B-Stock listing are not covered under this warranty.

Why you might want a B-Stock item

Unless stated to the contrary, all B-Stock items are guaranteed fully functional. While their reduced price is reflective of the flaws, it gives people the opportunity to acquire the item much more cheaply than if buying it new. In the case of a gun stock, it might be that you want to replace your tired-looking, existing stock. Or you may want to protect your current stock by using a cheaper replacement for the field or range. Or you may simply want to practise working on this stock with a bit of DIY woodworking, safe in the knowledge that you’re not going to ruin the factory stock fitted to your pride and joy!

Condition Report of this particular item

Our factory technicians have inspected this stock. They consider its condition to be B-Stock for the following reasons:

• While it looks pretty sorry for itself, it’s mainly only showing the primer under its matt black finish. Because this is a composite stock, it is therefore easily refinished with some rattle can paint (of your colour choice). This makes it a good DIY project if you want to customise it yourself. Camouflage, anyone?!
• All over are surface scuffs deep enough to expose the primer underneath
• There is one hole in the belly of the stock. This is easily fillable with a bit of epoxy filler (or similar), prior to repainting

This stock is structurally sound, and we’re listing it due to its rarity. It also sports the ‘SSS’ oval medallion in the base of the grip.

Please also refer to the images of the actual item in this B-Stock listing. We have endeavoured to show the flaws we consider make it unsuitable to be sold as ‘new’. The aforementioned flaws are reflected in the reduced price that this item is offered at.

Compatibility

This thumbhole stock is best suited to AirWolf models with a side-mounted manometer (gauge) on the side of the action. So it can be used as direct replacement. However, the action of later AirWolf versions with the LCD information screen will still fit this stock; you will need to make some minor modifications to enable the screen.

Design and Features

The stock is ambidextrous, so it can be used by right- and left-handed shooters. It is one of the most classy looking, sporter style stocks around.

It features a ventilated butt pad and raked pistol grip. There is stippling, but no logos – this stock was designed as a ‘Tactical’. There is an ‘SSS’ medallion laid into the underside of the grip.

Fitting

This thumbhole stock fits to the AirWolf action (earlier gauge-type) using the rifle’s existing fixing bolts and trigger guard. (Note: The stock is not supplied with the bolt or guard.)

Please note: This is a one-off listing for a B-STOCK item. Please ensure you are familiar with the ‘Condition Report of this Particular Item‘ report above.
