Fuhrmann,
Thank you for the additional explanation with regard to the grip on this gun. I had been told that it was a "Kaiser Grip" and then "Kaisergriff" but after reading what you had to say I did a quick search and yes, the Heinrich Scherping rifles in the NE post and some other later guns shown on the Internet all have a forward sweeping hook (in profile) where the Bemesu looks simply more like an extended grip. The terms used to define the fillet wrapped around the interface of the grip and butt-stock is good to know as well. Whatever the reason for the extended grip I'll go with the notion that the gentlemen that placed the order for this gun was either Austrian or held an Austrian preference to stock design.
Regards,
Mark
PS - Yes, you would be less likely to have this gun get hung up in your armpit on a quick snap.
