Does anyone still LOVE the MANNLICHER stocks like I do??????

[1yotedog]

If the answer is YES, PLEASE contact BOYD'S Gunstocks!!!!!

I have been trying to tell them that Mannlicher builds are Trending in the Custom Classic side of Gunsmithing, and they are considering it.........they just need more interest shown! A LAMINATED MANNLICHER would be awesome, as I build my 1903 Springfield in 338 Win Mag.

Below is the comments that I have emailed them, AND left in the comments on their YouTube channel:

"PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Boyd's Gunstocks, offer a LAMINATED MANNLICHER STOCK even if it's only inletted for the action, and the final fitting and finishing is to be finished by the customer!!!! I'm BEGGING!!!"

THANK YOU, my fellow firearms enthusiasts!!!!

I've always been partial to them. Built a 21"bbl 35 Whelen on an M98 and had a local stock mfgr. make a rough inlet w/straight grip stock patterned on an M91 Argentine stock. I slimmed it down and full length bedded from tang to muzzle. A real handy close cover gun for pigs shooting 225gr. Barnes @ 2650fps! Am now trying to visualize a 243 version along the same lines so the Boyd's tip will help with that.

"In a moment of weakness..." I'm almost afraid to recall the guns I've sold in a moment of weakness (which would be an ideal separate thread). But a nicely fiddlebacked maple Mannlicher stocked Ruger #1 would rank at the top of my weakest moments sales.

I'm gonna go with the double stamped, octagon barrel, take down marlin .22 that I'll never see again

I love a good mannlicher! Was drooling over a couple of RUGER 10/22

s with them this weekend. I have only seen one lefty - and it sold very high! A left handed mannlicher-shcouner with double set triggers! Is that to much to ask? I only want one!

You've got to see this:

Just yesterday I was looking at ruger #1 international s, if only I didn't have to eat or stay warm........

That does get in the way doesn't it?

I've always loved the look of those stocks. I have a Remington 722 in .308 that would look good in a mannlicher stock. I'll call Boyd's and suggest it for sure.

Don't get in a hurry with them either. Think of them as a good winter project.....it takes quite a while to get your stock, and when you get it, plan on spending a lot of time finishing. However, if your decent at woodworking, they do make a beautiful finished product.View attachment 173229

This is a Maple Stocked 700 Remington the I happened to find in a local shop just after a guy traded it in. Some one did a beautiful job making it !!

They use to make a Ruger No 1 with a mannlicher stock. Always wanted one, but so far haven't found one In the caliber I want.

Hey Msgt, I have the identical twin to that in 220 Swift which I bought several years ago off Gunbroker. And not only does it look great, it shoots equally well.

I've wanted a Mannlicher CZ550 in 9.3x62 or perhaps the 6.5x55 just to be more unique, however it seems that CZ has DISCONTINUED it.
Discussion about the DISCONTINUED CZ550FS

Just FYI; CZs have the CRAPPIEST BLUING that I have ever encountered.........the finish looks good, but they RUST faster that any Weatherby, Winchester, Remington, or Ruger........I know from experience after hunting with my CZ550 Safari .416 Rigby in a snowstorm in Montrose, Co. All of the other hunter's rifles fared well, but the next day, even after a thorough drying out, and covering it in silicone, my rifle was covered in a RUST PATINA. That's why Kirby Allen turned it into a 338 Allen Express and finished the action and bolt with a nice matte black Ceracote.

To do it properly it has to have double set triggers and be chambered in something like 6.5 x 55 or 7 x 57
