A 375 Nitro express, I had PT&G build me the Reamer and gauges.
Using a 1891 that I do a lot of modifications on.
I like them as they were well machined, but I do away with the magazine , triggers safeties and some bolt parts in exchange for other types. Going to do this one in a Mannlicher stock so I guess I will cut the barrel down to 22 or so inches.
Thanks for the drawing, the drawing Kiff made for me is almost exact but has my name on the drawing

The image I posted of 9.5X57 cartridge dimensions was a 100+ year old Eley (Kynoch) drawing.

To which '1891' are you referring?

The 'Gewehr 91' variant of the Model 1888 'Commission Rifle' was a military stutzen that already had a rather short barrel and full length stock:


Ja, ist Gewehr 91

By 'Mannlicher stock' I presume you mean full length?

Here is a page from the 1939 Stoeger showing conversions and 'DIY' kits to make stutzen sporters of surplus military arms from the 'war to end all wars':



Notice they were not referred to as 'Mannlicher stocked'. That misnomer seems to have caught on in the U.S. during the post WW2 period. Not all full stocked carbines were Mannlichers, just as not all Mannlichers had the stutzen stock with which they have since become so closely identified.

Here is the full page showing a Mauser stutzen as offered in the '39 Stoeger, and, as you enjoyed the phantom view Mannlicher I've included a phantom view Mauser:
