A member from Norway who occasionally posts here contacted me to tell me that a gunsmith in his country had made two Mannlicher-Schonauer actions out of Titanium alloy. I have requested pictures and information. If any of our members knows more about this project, please do post information. I'm guessing that someone would know - we have some of the best informed members on the gun trade anywhere.
Good hunting!
