[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 972230, member: 13632"] I think you could pull it of with a Mannlicher stock, get a nice curly maple and finish it darker, maybe a French grey finish on all the metal and I think it could bring in that old school influence and have it look like it fits. If you took and did some very fine silver wire inlay scroll to accent some checkering that would also tie in the old flintlock look to the modern rifle. A DBM would be hard to pull of, I think an internal ADL style would be needed to keep the lines down the stock correct so it would not look like a turd! [/QUOTE]
