88, great stuff!

This looks like a blast. Nothing beats hunting with the kids!!

I have never owned an 88 but I have picked up a couple and have always loved the concept of latching on to one of the old Haenel Mannlichers. The 88/Haenel/M-S actions are slick as butter.

88, was your 88 originally a commercially-made rifle or how did it come to be?
