KofO made a very, very limited Brownell Series, like Lenard Brownell. I got to meet Lenard and we spent most of two days together ... he was one heck of a great man and a true artist.
The Mannlicher stock and bolt handle were the signature of the Brownell Series.
After the series was finished, we had ONE Mannlicher bolt left and I high-graded this damnably killer piece of wood. Never seen the like of the wood, so it simply had to be mine. Cost me a few bucks, but I've always considered it was worth double
Later, we put this puppy together a few months later and it totally exceeded my expectations in every possible way.

Beautiful gun with a great story to go with it. Keeper for sure..
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.
Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.
Ken Howell worked with those folks some and he had one of theirs that looked a lot like that one - serial # was KEH1. Seems like his kids used it for a hunter safety or shooting class up in Prescott. A few jaws dropped.
Nice gun, and best of luck with the surgery/recovery.

Steve my friend, I noted the beautiful rifle, but more importantly I noted Karen's surgery. I hope she has every success with it. Please let us know how well she makes out as we'll be looking forward to the good outcome.
Really nice rifle.Hope everything works out right for the wife.Will send a prayer.Huntz
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience
I've taken apart maybe a thousand (or more), mooses, elk, caribou, deer and antelope, but when it's a wife of 53 years, it's different ... a lot different.
