    Mannlicher stocks? Opinions and pictures?

    Mannlicher This is a little Mannlicher that was built by the Piedmont School Of Gunsmithing. They apparently build a rifle every year or so and put it up for auction to raise money for the class. I was lucky enough to see it for sale in our local paper and gladly picked up gun #2. This came...

    When I was young I had no use for the Mannlicher stock but they have grown on me over the years. I now think they are a beautiful addition to any rifle! Case in point a 7.7 Arisaka (pictured)......Take care and God bless

    Hello skyhorse, Actually the Bay Of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis "the nukes stood down", were two totally different issues. The Cuban crisis came about in Oct of 1962 (6 months after the BOP) when Kennedy made the blockade off the coast of Cuba, effectively quarantining the island. Many...

    Bay Of Pigs Hello longshot and skyhorse, Unfortunately guys I missed the Bay of Pigs by 2 years. The Bay of Pigs took place in the spring of 1961 we relieved the Marines on the fence in 1963. I really don't know much about the BOP's, but what I have heard is as follows. The main invasion...

    skyhorse and longshot, Well skyhorse thank you again for the compliments and you are absolutely correct with your assessment of the fact that these were brought into places like Ye Olde Hunters (Alexandria Virginia) and placed around the floor in barrels!!! Most were in what was then called...

    Hello longshot, Ten years and out with a check is smart thinking, unfortunately somewhere during a 20 to 30 year career a war or two pops it's ugly little head up and we are placed in harms way. We will keep you in our prayers!!!! Were you able to ask your brother to test a spot or two under...

    longshot, I don't know, but again you can do a small spot on the bottom of the barrel and see what happens. I think $600.00 for a strip and blue is ridiculous, strip it yourself and by that time we may have a gunsmith on this thread who will do it for you at a reduced rate. If all else fails...

    longshot, Better late than never, I finaly dug out the Barnes .450 built on a 1917 action by Fred Barnes. It is the only one that I have seen with his initials and I am reasonably sure this was one of his personal rifles (that and a $1.00 will get you a cup of coffee ;-)...). This rifle will...

    doubleh, It is something I never tried and never wanted to. I had a friend years ago that did my checkering and he had the patience of Job. Unfortunately his eyes have failed him and I am now using an even older fellow that is very reasonable but limited in his patterns (his way or no way:D)...
