They didn't cut a stutzen back to a forend type stock?!

No, it’s another example of a special order rifle with a 50 cm carbine length barrel, just as my own M1905 and M1910. See my post here http://forums.nitroexpress.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=367518&an=0&page=0#Post367518 . As it left the Steyr factory as a takedown, that is detachable stock model, it was certainly half length, rifle style foreend from the start. Building a Stutzen with a detachable full length stock makes no sense as you can not shorten the overall length package by detaching the barrel and action. Instead, you would increase the risk of breaking the slim, fragile foreend without the barrel supporting it.
