Just as I like them :vcool: :vcool: :thumbsup:

Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Nice.
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Stock dated 915r. Under buttplate. So it survived totally intact for most part from original except bolt. Still has the early style ejector too.

Crossbolt on this rifle is almost centered in finger groove and comparing wood to my Chatternault m91 it looks the same. Walnut? Wondering if izhevsk got parts from France to use or if Chatternault assembled any for them. Being 1915 and how things were going.

Does not look like a walnut stock to me. I think Chatellerault would have been out of the picture as far as M91's go by 1915....they ceased production in the 1890's
