SR4759Another stock maker/stock making question
I would like to have a stock made for a M95 Dutch Mannlicher.
Pattern stocks for this action/rifle seem to be rare or at least uncommon.
This brought up a question about duplicating stocks. Why is a pattern stock required for each individual rifle?
It seems that a system to locate the inletting relative to the carved exterior shape of the stock would permit a greater degree of matching a rifle inlet to a rifle stock shape. Am I missing something?
I realize that different actions have some influence on the stock shape especially at the tang but isn't that something that can worked around.
It seems a stock profile for a Mannlicher-Schoenauer could easily be used with the Dutch M95 Mannlicher inletting with a system to properly locate the inlet to the profile.
Anyone work on Mannlichers?

M1TankerCheck with GAG - Great American Gunstocks. At one time they showed a couple stocks for your rifle in their bargain section. I do not recall what pattern they were offering though.

SR4759Thanks William,
I called Great American. They said right now they are not machining any stocks do to the power being cut off. He said he would have a couple machined in about a month.
Jim Kobe,
I appreciate the information on Stephen Nelson.
I have sent him an email about a stock for my 1900 Steyr.
