Got to making it mine
Well I couldnt find any markings under the bases. But Im very happy with the rifle.
It is a beautiful Dark walnut with some figure. It had a nasty shinny varnish and a monte carlo rear stock.
I figure any mannlicher type stock needs a more traditional hogs back style. So I got at it with a rasp and file then scrapers (I was able to get the look while keeping the comb high for scope alignment). Then put some love in to it with paper, whiskered it and paper from 80-600.....
then lost of love with tung oil and....
Ill get some pics up some time.
Very Happy it has nice almost black chrome bluing. The silky smooth deep oil finish Mannlicher stock with hogs back, just looks right!
