Got a call from one of the gunsmiths here on the AH forum that works at the best gun shop in town that they just had something come into the shop that I should look at. Well a nice mannlicher schoenauer was in the shop and it was in need of a new home. So it was my tough luck that it followed me home.

Clodo yes the bolt handle is so well done and different from the standard, we had to consider was it a custom order from the manufacturer. The bore is perfect and it came with 60 rounds of brass and a set of dies. So later this morning need to go reload some shells and get the old girl out to the range.

Spike.t yea very presumptuous but is kinda like my dog, found her running around my property, underfed and sick, but friendly! She followed me home walked into the house and has been the best dog I ever had for the last 11 years, so I hope this rifle is a kindred spirit.
 
You poor devil. Well I guess someone has to take care of the homeless.
