	Asquare, I think that he modified the full length forearm into the short one. Interesting nose cap adaptation. I have thought about building a woodset in similar form that goes right up the the muzzle. Need to find a neat way to terminate the end. Nose cap or horn tip? The impression I would try to create would be an officer's carbine without fittments for bayonet. Classy little guns. Yumastep, nice little project that you have there. Looking good!

	If you get a forearm tip from a military 98 mauser, cut off the bayonet lug, and shorten it by about half - it works nicely for a mannlicher type of tip.

	........and thats exactly what I did in both cases.........the fore stock is the original one shortened......and I used a Mauser bayonet mount, cut off the bayonet lug and welded and modified it to fit. Roger

	A few years back I used a Williams side mount to scope a previously sporterized #4 rifle for a customer. It gave the rifle a suitably 'period look' I think. Also you can get rings for it to either mount the scope to the side (for a rifle that still has the charger bridge you can still load with chargers) or over the top center of the rifle.
