very unusual mannlicher stock
      #247802 - 24/05/14 03:59 AM

look at the pistol grip, have you seen something like that?
seems to be a separate part



MANNLICHER. A 6.5X53R BOLT ACTION SPORTING RIFLE 26-inch barrel with raised foresight, raised rearsight with folding leafs to 300, rearsight bed incorporating spirit level, the receiver with file cut top surface, bolt with flag safety, the magazine housing engraved FITTED WITH FRASER'S PATENT TRIGGER ACTION, the half length straight hand stock with attached grip piece, chequered extension and tang sight, sling eyes, nitro proof, in it's canvas case with Dan'l Fraser & Co label 14 1/2-inch pull, 7lb. 8oz. Although not engraved with a retailers name, this rifle incorporates so many "Fraser" features that there is no reason to assume that this rifle is the work of any other maker. Stock with holes at fore end and butt, purpose unknown, crisp and little used overall. Good bore but not exceptional. £1000-1500

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.

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.
