Old Man joins forum

I have always enjoyed reading this forum to the extent a mate told me to join. Been shooting for a long time and taken the odd animal during the last 50 odd years. Currently using M96 6.5x55 Swedes; one in sporting configuration and the other (1916) in original nick with all numbers matching. Looking forward to more reading. (Ingrid 51.)

Anyone able to identify this stockwood? I think it could be be Elm as rifle is 1916 manuf and Elm was used 1915 to 1917. Second guess would be Beech.

Something might be wrong with your rifle. When the bolt handle is up it looks like it obstructs view of your sights.
Stock looks too coarse grained for beech, I'm not that experienced with elm.

The only member I know from Timaru is Beaker. I am sure that a young fellah like him would not have a need for such a device. Maca would use it as a black powder compactor.
