Yes John it is most certainly a Greek military rifle that has been modified. I have emailed Boyd's Gunstock Industries to see if they do an inlett for the mannlicher, their classic style looks to be quite reasonable and are available in Walnut or laminate. I bought a Richards microfit laminate a few years back ,it took about 6 months to get here and I was less than impressed with what I received ,there was a lot of work to be done to make it serviceable and the laminate is very soft so I won't be going the laminate route again.Great American gunstocks used to do a full length mannlicher but from what I have read on the net it's a bit of a lucky dip as to what you get and as with all the American made stocks, returns aren't a viable option for us.

As for my rifle ,I to will be looking for an inexpensive stock for mine ,hopefully Boyds will be a goer as their prices are quite low ( around about $100.00) The metal will need to be coated because of the light pitting ,it's not deep but it is all over the barrel so gunkote or something similar is probably the easiest solution . Internally the barrel is pitted but has strong rifling ,I'm trying cast bullets for it ,I cast 140 grain round nose pills and in the next day or 2 I'll road test them to see if they will shoot and how much leading if any it produces with a 30 grain load of 2206. All going well it should be a good thing for hunting off of a quad bike.
