The model 1952 had the trim stock and the curved bolt handle. It was also available in Europe up until about 1958, when it was renamed the GK (Gebogener Kammergriff) = bent bolthandle.
Hi KurtC, As the other post-1952 models MC and MCA were named for their buttstock shape, Monte-Carlo and Monte Carlo Amerikanisch, both with swept-back bolthandles too, and the designation "GK" is also found on 6.5x68 and 8x68 magnum rifles with straight bolthandles, I rather believe "GK" stands for "Grader Kolben" = straight buttstock.
