    got a hemburg 1917 the serial is 323mm stamped all over it bolt reciver bbl and several other places the bore looks a lot smaller than that 6mm to 6.5mm
    the stock was made into a sportser and the top forearm is missing .
    what cal is it and what do i got exactly?
    where can i find a stock for it , and is this thing rare?
    the blueing is perfect , what side used this and from what war ?

    thanks rusty shackelford

    Dutch Mannlicher was originally in 6.5x53r. Hembrug is the arsenal.
    They are a lot like a Gew 1888.
