Mannlicher Forend by Gunstocks, Inc?
« on: February 28, 2005, 09:58:16 AM »
Lots of discussion these days about stocks and forends.  Those of you that have purchased the factory Mannlicher forend- have any of you contacted Gunstocks, Inc about making one in purtier wood?  I would really like to have a Mannlicher but not in pallet wood.  I sent them an email but haven't heard anything back yet.

I don't know about gunstocks, inc., but I plan on talking with the folks at Boyds in SD.  They got a stock duplicating machine and great prices...

The only thing I could see that H&R offered was a full length forend with a barrel band, I got a true Mannlicher forend from Gunstocks Inc. that takes a nose cap, I suppose you could put a barrel band on it instead of a nose piece if you just wanted a full length forend.

Actually, H&R DID make a true mannlicher style single-shot.  Take a look.... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=29227945

roostertails- the Mannlicher with nose piece is exactly what I want.  Did you buy yours from Gustocks, Inc?  Do they have them in stock or was it a special order?  I like the nose piece much better than their plastic barrel band.
