I apologize for not explaining more thoroughly because I didn't know exactly what it was until I had it in my hands and did some research. It is an 8X57JS caliber rifle with a Mannlicher action marked 98/44. It has the distinct M stamping and the Nazi Eagles. They were made for the Nazi's by the Austrians (I believe, but it could have been Hungary) in WWII and most of them were sent to the Eastern front, where they were used against the Russians. Most of them were never seen again. This one has a serial number 57 and I imagine it was sent to Germany for some reason so it didn't get confiscated by the Russians when they clobbered the Nazis. For a military action, it is very nice with a decent trigger and a really homely and ill balanced sporterized stock conversion. I don't think the rifle has seen much shooting at all. I would post a photo if I knew how. Basically it is a 1940's Mannlicher action so I guess my question is, can it stand what the 98 Mauser can stand and is it viable for a conversion?
