Assumin your on about, basically, a 97 power plant in a plaggggehh stock... knowing you and your knowledge jjm... what type of question is that?

Funnily enough what drew me to your post was mine was originally a silver line/black line/knickel whatever most call them. Best rifle I’ve had and will have. Simple as that. With work mind.

As an extra note, and again, if your on about the 97 blackline, I swapped out my synthhhhh stock as shooting a spring rifle with a thumb hole just didn’t work for me, the shooting cycle didn’t quite work either. The holding position was all wrong, so swapped it for what’s his name, old member, Scott something, noodle arms... stock. But his 77 foster stock for my 97 worked and I’ve never looked back.

I have one in .177 cant seem to gel with it like my .22 in a CS 500 stock 

I will change it over today into the wooden stock which came of my ,22 and see what happens

I've got one in 177. I hate the stock as I've got long fingers and can't get onto the trigger properly. My 77 in a sporting stock is much better for me.

rez the question is mate what are these plastic stocks like mate ,do they make the rifle front heavy or what ive not owned a placa stock before I would imagine there pretty light ,I know all about the mechenics of the 97k just want to know what there like with this stock fitted 

[j j m 6,480]

thanks villaman

[Jonnyb6161 80]

They're not especially heavy and still balance well enough. The only question is whether you get on with thumbhole stocks.

jonny that's all I was really wanting to know about the plastic stock mate ,I don't really like the look of them and think there might be a balance issue with them being plastic,i don't want to then have to shell out for a wooden stock,many thanks for help

[j j m 6,480]

thanks jonny bud

[Jonnyb6161 80]

Glad to help. Let me know how it goes as I'm looking to go the same route.

[j j m 6,480]

will do mate,im looking at it this afternoon mate

[villaman 9,979]

Buy it then sell the stock and buy CS500 stock ,a real nice stock for the 97 or any gun IMO 

[j j m 6,480]

villaman ,went to look at the rifle today I could not get away with that stock my fingers are to long the way it is,if I bought it id have to sort another stock its not worth the bother had a good few 97s ,and always found them a good work horse I just could not get away with that stock it spoils the rifle
