Hello,

A small update. I had an old, canvas rifle case which I had previously used for my full stock M-S Model NO (which I've sold). My guess is that it must have been made for a pre-war Mannlicher 1903 full stock, as no other rifle would have fit. My brother bought it off Ebay a couple of years ago for his Mannlicher, but it was too short (later, he found an old Jeffery case which fitted perfectly).

Anyway, because the extra length of the stock and barrel of mine, it actually would fit very well into this case. So I removed the previous furniture and redid the cloth. I did reuse some of the old parts, but most of them had to be done new. It was down to a lot of luck to be able to fit the scope in there, but I think it worked out pretty well. I will probably add a trade label to it, just because I think a case like this should have one.

You can also see that I've had the extension removed but I kept the old Silvers recoil pad as I think it adds a bit of charm.
