Any chance of this coming with a thumb hole stock? I don’t think it would be difficult to come up with fancy foregrip that attaches to the front lower picatinny rail, then we would be looking at a Mateba 6 Unica Grifone rival and then I would snatch you hand off!

No, not seen one. They aren't even in the country yet.
Sorry, I don't think they come with the kind of thumbhole alternatives.

Stock looks a bit short for comfort on that one. Possibly too short to be legal too.
A new version of the mateba would be nice, I'm always a little concerned that one day I'm going to break something in mine that I can't replace, and that will be the end of it.
People take the proverbial about the appearance, but it's lovely to shoot.

I guess the stock could be anything you like if it is custom made.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a gunsmith who would be up to the challenge to ‘Grifonicate’ one of these Chiappa Rhinos?

If you look you can see a rail on the front of the barrel, its there, by the looks even though there is a dip it will be line, possibly with the irons....

Yup saw that, it’s quite far forward and as you say the irons look in danger !
