Ivory? Grip Container Cap 1908 M-S
      01/01/14 08:35 AM

I thought some of you might be interested in this....I just picked up a relatively cheap M-S 1908 (single trigger, takedown) as a parts rifle. However, its growing on me, and I may keep it together and just shoot/hunt it as is. It is British (London) proofed and has this nice little apparently handmade grip cap that turns and locks over the grip cap container (which happily did contain another front sight). I am wondering if its made from ivory. It looks like it, but I don't know how to confirm that. Maybe its horn. I do know that I like it. Anyone have experience with these grip cap containers and also maybe know how to tell what the cap is made from?

It also came with a nice pop up wrist receiver sight in excellent cond.

If I decide to make it a shooter, I'll have to figure out how to make some ammo because I have none on hand. My only other 1908 is a fullstock 7x57.
