The Random Ramblings Of An Airgun Addict

A few years ago someone sent me a picture of an Air Arms ProSport in a Custom Stock CS800 thumbhole stock. I really like the CS800 stock design and it thought the ProSport really looked nice in the CS800 stock. The stock in the picture was very nice. I decided then that I was going to try and find one for my ProSport.

I called Custom Stock back then and at that time they told me that they weren't shipping to the US market. I was disappointed but not deterred. I decided to try to find a used stock here in the states for my rifle. Since then I have kept a close on my classified ads and others for a CS800 stock either by itself or with a rifle action. I figured I could always resell the extra ProSport action in my standard stock and keep the CS800 stock. I even posted wanted ads from time to time. But, alas, I have had no luck finding one.

After shooting Hunter class in Baton Rouge this year I decided I was going to pursue a stock purchase with a little more energy. I brought up the issue of getting a CS800 stock to David Slade and he told me that he thought that Custom Stock was now shipping to the US again. Well, it was time for another call to them. I tried emailing them but I was having some problems this week with my email so I decided to call. I got up early in the morning and gave them a ring. A very nice gentleman answered and I told him that I was looking to get a CS800 stock for my ProSport. He mentioned that he had just read my email (so they did get it) and that he had replied to it.

Long story short is that they are now shipping to the US but they no longer make the CS800 for the ProSport. As it turns out, they upgraded their equipment over the past few years just stop making that stock. He mentioned that they do make it for several other models like the TX200 but not the ProSport. Darn. I was so close too. I know that there are a few US stock makers like Jim Macarri and Mike Abernathy that have designs for the ProSport but I really wanted a CS800. But that is life we don’t always get what we want. For now I will just keep using the standard beech stock until I find something I like better.
