Hi: I've written before asking about loads and experience with the MS1910. I was very concerned when I read that there is a possibility of the barrelled action shooting out of the stock on occasion. Looking at that thin wrist, I could see the possibility of a split occurring. Has anyone actually seen or had any of this happen with a 1910? Thanks.

I've seen very few 1910's that weren't cracked somewhere.

They all crack inside, thru the web just above the trigger. Some crack where the wood is thin, under the bolt handle. Many crack thru the wrist as well.

Keep your screws snug and your loads on the mild side. They are great rifles, but there is a reason the post-war models have thicker stocks.

Just great. Just what I was asking about but didn't want to hear or see. Guess I better be looking. Thanks. Any others????

Hi Tanker, I happen to have the same rifle...and what I read here I do not like...

I wonder, can we do something to strenghten the original stocks....?

Any suggestions anyone...??

Any stock can be beefed up to take almost any amount of recoil...Cross bolts help, glass bedding helps and a threaded bolt glassed in the grip from the tang to the grip cap are some examples..

I have a very thin manlicher pattern stock for the G33-40 Mauser and I have to beef it up inside to insure it does not split out n the grip and action...

I will have a gunsmith look at it Ray...
