While searching for a MS to buy I happened upon this little carbine. Auction description: "Bolt action stripper clip fed rifle Chambered in 8x50Rmm or 8x56Rmm, Features, Front added bead and rear added notched sights, Straight pull bolt with safety, Dual set triggers, Checkered wooden Mannlicher stock with cheek rest and bone type nose cap, Metal butt plate, Sling swivels, Barrel Length, 20"". NSN.

At first glance it appears to be a sporterized M1895 Mannlicher or variant.

Depending on maker and quality of modifications, it could be quite valuable.

FYI, what is often referred to as a "Mannlicher Stock" is more accurately termed a 'stutzen' (full stocked carbine). As you surely know, not all Mannlichers were full stocked, not all full stocked carbines or rifles were Mannlichers.
