    OK I know what this stock is from now.

    Don't get too excited - it is actually off a Chinese made sidelever rifle, here is an example fitted with the correct action that I received yesterday:

    Ignore the semi-circular cut-out on the fore-end in the lhs picture, this example has been badly messed with, looks like someone tried to modify it to take a tap loading sidelever action.

    Now IIRC and I do stand ready to be corrected, Titan (yes the same Titan as in Manitou) did a short lived run of springers based on a Chinese sidelever action fitted with an upgraded stock. I believe these might have been designated the SL800 in .177 and SL600 in .22, but could be remembering wrong on that.

    Anyway the action is typically Chinese i.e. not great. I will let you know how it performs once I have given it a bit of a fettle.
