Classic Rifle stock magazine

[Gert Odendaal]

Try a buttcuff. Holds 5 or 6 rounds and ammo is much more accessible and won't affect the balance much more than the stock mag.

I know these items being very popular with hunters...unfortunately I still prefer the classic magazine inserted in the butt stock..it really give a great appearance to a classic build rifle ..

I do have something similar to that on my Steyr Scout Rifle - which is pretty darn practical.

, as do I ...what's wrong with us?

 

[Gert Odendaal]

No, no Gentleman, there is nothing wrong at all with what ever you choose to fit use on your rifle ...every person has his own ideas about these things..mine is just different , but we all hunt on the end of the day , using our rifles that we prefer with all the gadgets we like attached to our nice rifles...

Good, members I managed to get hold of three sets /parts of a semi-finishes butt stock magazine..I will complete these magazines, I will fit onto the 8x68S butt stock ...the other two I will complete to sell to interesting members..

Good day members, is this item available on Rifle shop shelves or do you have to custom make this rifle stock magazine ?? I am contemplating fitting such a type magazine into my 8x68S rifle stock when commence building the stock shortly? Any info will be much, much appreciated as always... As pointed out in the 8x68S thread I want to build a Classic slim Mannlicher Schoenauer rifle stock, I do believe this item will be a great asset to the rifle stock?? I really would like your opinions..

Hi Gert, I have such an item which I probably will never use. Contact me and I can supply pictures and we can discuss further. It has never been installed and still needs to be drilled for calibre of choice. Cheers

This is how Steyr did it on the Mannlicher Schoenauer M1900 through M1924 models:

The topmost hole held the cleaning rods, other two for 'oh shit' rounds.

Mauser offered a 'trapdoor' as well, from the 1939 Stoeger:

"Supplied with steel pistol grip cap and steel butt plate with trap for carrying cleaning rod"

handy in a "getaway gun".

Here are component parts of the original MS butt trap:

This one looks rather interesting, from this thread (on another 'site): http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?251377-Buttstock-Cartridge-Traps

That appears to be a nifty little catch mechanism on the lower right side.

A few big rounds installed like that might soak up a bit of recoil also.

It does look good, has some Appeal I guess , something nice something different or something to make a custom unique.
It may be a good upgrade to Jazz up a Blaser R8,
