Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

Hello All ,and Happy New Year.
Four years ago I purchased this all matching (except for the buttplate) rare 1900 short rifle...

As you can see it had some issues. It had the original butt plate removed and a bakelite one put on. Also, the forstock was cut in two pieces, and the tigerstriped stock was sanded down smooth. Well ,I decided to put it back into military configuration. I met a stock maker named Bob at a gunshow and had him restore the stock for me.
Here he is, working on the stock...

Here is the rifle now, I am pleased with his work.

Here are some of the proof /inspection marks on the metal.

This turned out better than I expected, Im glad I could bring her back.
Here's a funny one, I bought a buttplate on e-bay 3 yrs ago and the number is 192, my rifle is 162, LOL!
Thanks for lookin.

There were only 176 private series 1900 shortrifles made . This one is 162. Most of the 18,750 short rifles produced were turned into K11's.( I believe).
