Hey guys
Well I may be selling one of the S410's that I have here, and am planning on using some of that money for a regulator for the .177 S410, and possibly a new stock. Currently I have the walnut stock on the rifle, and would sell that to help pay for some of the new stock. But my question is about the quality of the stocks for the S410's that are shown on Topgun-Airguns site. I have been looking and really can't find much about them.
If these are unable to get, or something weird about them, what other stocks do you guys suggest? Would like something metal, so I don't bugger up a nice walnut stock when I take it out hunting as well.

My HFT rigged M-rod uses a HYBRID FT design that was Special ordered from Peter ( Peterbuilt stocks ) who makes the stocks for Top gun.
Had him remove the knee rest portion and place a heavy slope on fore end. Lighten butt too.
Pistol grip was left oversize and was further sized / fitted myself.
Stippling and final sealing was also done after being received.
Stock was a tad rough in fit and finish ... but had requested it RAW and unfitted, so got what I asked for in reality.
LOVE this stock !!!!

That looks great.
Was actually looking at the metal stocks shown on the site.
Just received an email from Boris, saying he has a newer model that has more adjustment and a better feel.

Chris,
One thing about metal stocks is that if you shoot hunter the the rules require that the butt pad be centered and the other adjustments set to their minimum, that can make a highly-adjustable stock's LOP way to short and the comb not nearly high enough. Of course, if you plan on shooting WFTF or open then a metal stock is great.

Not really sure what class I would shoot in to be honest.
Right now the rifle is an Air Arms S410 in .177, with a custom made mod at the end. Other than that nothing else, though I do plan on adding a reg to the rifle. The scope right now is a Falcon 4-14x44 scope that I plan on keeping there.
Will have to read about the break down of the rifle to see what is what.
