casper50, congratulations! Those whiteline recoil pads were stndard on the "Magnum" Mannlicher-Schoenauers. Quite often, they are perished and useless by now. I would replace it with a solid red one and carefully refinish the stock. The black foreend tips were plastic first, but most often simply painted on. There ought to be the year of proof marked besides the NPv proofmarks.
