Some DIY stock pics…
After a weekend full of computer woes, I’m back on…snapped some pics today of my DIY stocks that I finished…some results better than others. Some I have more grain to fill in one day… enjoy
So the first one isnt a DIY stock, but I’ve finally gotten my S400C in .177 back. Went to Pomona for a power mod. Screw all the way in… around 500fps 1/4 turn…600fps 1/2 turn…700fps 1 full turn….800fps 2 turns…. 900fps. All rounded off. Topped with a 4x16x50 Niko Nighteater. Carbon fiber brake.
Next is a DIY stock from Richards… non AG so I wont go into detail.
Next we have the R9 with a Macarri stock. Home tuned with Macarri bits. Topped with a 44Mag. Paul Watts brake.
HW77k with stock of unknown origin, looks to be Macarri. Got it in a trade. Bushnell Legend 5x15x44. Still need to find a suitable buttpad for it.

Well, I meant for recoil. Ive no experience with a springer but Ive heard there is allot of spring recoil when you fire it. Enough to break scopes and keep them moving all the time.
A brake on a springer does several things… protects the crown, gives a nice cocking aid, and keeps a bit more weight forward for easier offhand shooting. Plus they look cool…. 8)
Far as noise reduction… nope. Most of the noise in a springer is due to the spring itself anyway.
Beautiful! Does a brake actually help on a springer?

recoil… well, yes and no. Any additional weight on the gun will reduce felt recoil, but I dont think a brake will help enough to make a difference, no.
They will still be hard on scopes. It’s not the rearward recoil so much as the forward/reverse recoil unique to a springer that makes them harder to shoot and hard on scopes. Still, they can be quite accurate….
