looking for a decent scout mount to the rear sight base, and a finished, semi-finished, duplicated or whatever Mannlicher stock.

this is a pre-bubba'd, and not badly, mind you, 1895 Chilean.

When you find the Mannlicher stock if it's wood let me know where you find it as I'd love one myself.

I've only seen one and it was Fajen or Bishop from who knows how long ago.

Maybe someone has a pattern.

Great American Gunstocks has a stock you might be interested in it is listed for a M96 but your 95 should fit. Mannlicher Stock

call in the morning, thanks a million.

-I'm obliged to you for that link, I don't think I would have ever found it myself, that is one of the hardest-to-follow/figure out websites I've ever been on.

Here is a traditional pattern that can be ordered in Mannlicher length. See additional services.

Actually, it's not. I tried to order one of those once. If you read the note, only the oval forearm is available in the manllicher, which makes it closer to the classic. I bought one, then had to plane over two pounds of wood (by digital scale) to get it really trim. It did turn out a nice stock for a 6.5, but it was a lot of work.

So here's the rifle, I haven't received it yet. The first rifle I bought myself was an 1895 Chilean Mauser from Century Arms- $39.95 and apparently unissued, beautifully made. The mailman delivered it and my father had to sign. I assume this one was sold out of the same batch.



I want to attach this sight to the rear bridge, it's a "GF Diopter", I believe, and made for '95-6-8 receivers. There's a sight called a "Busker" that is similar, more compact, but I missed getting one.



I think a banded ramp front sight would be nice, also. The barrel is original length, what would be a good length to shorten it to for a "standard" aftermarket sporter stock, or a Mannlicher style?

I want to add a scout rig to the rear sight base, but not one that replaces the slide- I recall richj posting photos of a slick base he made of a Weaver rail that sat lower, IIRC.

I'll set dealing with the bolt handle aside for later.

Suggestions, criticisms, horse laughs?

Thanks for all the info provided previously, it's appreciated.
