GK means "Gekrümmter Kammerstängel" , curved bolt grip , has nothing to do with the stock of the rifle , unlike MC or MCA where it is about the stock shape.
Grandveneur, 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 blued, straight bolthandles and straight buttstocks, as made for the European market, I rather believe "GK" stands for "Grader Kolben" = straight buttstock.
"Gerader Kolben" oder so was ähnliches für die Bezeichnung GK ?
Never heard before !
I will ask a few other connoisseurs what they think about the topic.
