Where do you come up with this stuff???

There you go RH1, I knew I was sane all the time...but do question why I do it from time to time.
I do as you know, have a M1903 Takedown.
But Stutzen's are a delight.
It's not the older ones that are troublesome (usually), just the later ones since late 1980's

I never understood why Steyr Mannlicher just didn't design & make it better, apart from the likely instruction from the 'money' boys in the background to cut costs.
