Looks to be a straight grip "English" stock with a pistol grip added on.

The British gunmakers imported the Mannlicher M 92-93-95 turnbolt rifles in miltary shape and then sporterized them to different degrees. Higher grade rifles were not only resighted, but restocked too. The “economy” lower grades retained the shortened, reshaped and maybe checkered straight grip military stocks they came with from the factory. On this M93 Fraser too retained the straight grip issue stock, but reshaped it to the distintive "Scottish" style and added the seperate pistol grip.
Two pages from the 1910 Jeffery catalog, not the patterns No. 4, 5, 6:

You could occasionally see such "pistol grips" in swedish m96 mausers build for target shooting.

That .256 Männlicher is a Fraser through and through. It's not the first one I've seen cased with all the goodies, and no barrel name. Seen one a couple of weeks ago, in fact.

that this is a Fraser is obviously
the pistol grib was a later addition but this cant be a homemade job. it looks old like the stock so the owner must have take the rifle and bring it back to the gunmaker for geting some kind of pistol grib.
