BIN apparently takes with it the pictures, so I am left to my imagination. Was it a pair of choppers?

I can really only guess, the prewar bolt stop. I saw a 1938, made in Germany sold for thirty two on GB, I'm not sure if the link is still live or if I can find it. I didn't see the auction when it was live, my user name should really be hindsight anyway. I was hoping to be informed of how large my fools award should be for acquiring the M-S Premier, I know Blue Book value, "so called" it's not mint.

Now I see two bolt stops, but they aren't the same and I'm not yet sure which one is rare. The link has expired on the "Made in Germany" M-S.

My apologies. I see I was hasty in my review. My Mother always said my mouth would get me in trouble.
Cheers, Hoot

Hi Tshinke
First, let me say that I don't think that you deserve a "fool's award", your words not mine, for getting that M-S premier. Most of us here, focus on custom rifles made in the US, and that M-S Premier is not something that I follow, and I don't know if there are many on here that do follow what they go for. It is hard to price items that appear rather infrequently. Is there a Mannlicher collector's website?
In this parts grouping, there is a Mannlicher-Schoenauer 1903 bolt stop and a bolt stop for an 88 commission rifle which is also used on the Mannlicher Haenel. They aren't particularly rare.

Cheers, Hoot Actually, I am grateful to you, when a person posts a link to an auction in a thread and the link expires, the value of the thread is sometimes lost. So for what it is worth in preserving things for as long as my photobucket account lasts. The buy-it-now price on the parts grouping above was $60 which included shipping.

Thanks PhysDoc, I'll wait until I can do better than process of elimination. There is an M-S collector's Acc. and I asked someone about it, the carved stock isn't common. I'm learning what a real custom made rifle is. Hopefully I'll get up to speed with photo bucket and computer skills, presently I don't need a smart phone and know nothing about digital cameras either.

Ok, I think this was a hard challenge, so here is are two pictures of the piece that I consider rare. Do you know what it is? This piece was on the left-hand side of the images on ebay.
