	Well James, that’s interesting! Someone with quite the imagination made the stock. Bob

	An interesting bit of work on the action, and stock. The chamber is odd too. It appears to have an offset chamber so a centerfire firing pin will strike the rim, but the chamber looks to have a large recess around the rim area? Not sure what that's all about? The action it's built on started life as a shotgun, but someone reworked the hammer, and also did some sculpting on the edges of the action too. #1082 should make that barrel after Pope left, so likely made by Ross. Is it left hand or right hand twist?

	I remember seeing that style of stock in the old Europen and Banerman's catalogs on Belgian-made rifles. The action reminds me of Nagant Belgian rolling block actions, but in a better finish and detailing than those I've handled over the years.

	Looks to be a Stevens-Pope Krag barrel fired to a Rollingblock. Cheers, Laurie

	Do you think the builder mounted a Marbles Simplex tang sight because it was "only a .22"? Bill Lawrence

	Any marks on the action or tangs?

	If your rifle is not in 7.62 and you can't hit what you are aiming at with de-linked machinegun ammo you are a pretender.
