There are some bite marks from a Grizzly on both sides of the stock, reaching down about 12". An interesting story I may share sometime.

Nice fluted barrel




There you go.

Thanks for sharing...just looking from my BlackBerry so can't see the detail - it is really interesting that they retained the front lugs; made them multi-lug like current SBS; then soon after ceased production. Must have still been too expensive to manufacture and sell. The grizzly story must be interesting!! ??

I have a couple of very old boxes of Dominion ammunition for the "6.5mm MANN. SCHOEN."

On the top flap of the box it says:
"For use in rifles of Mannlicher-Schoenauer Model 1903 pattern. This calibre is also known as 6.5x53 M-Sch., 6.5x54 M-Sch. and 6.7mm M-Sch.
(then in French)
Important: Not interchangeable with any other type of 6.5mm ammunition."

So somewhere, at some point in time, some people/manufacturers also referred to the 6.5x54 as the 6.5x53

Do you still have this ammo? I have a 6.5 x 54 M-S.

Hey, take it easy there! You never pm'd me and I haven't checked back on this thread.

Yes, I do still have the ammo. It is not for sale but I know where there is 2 or 3 boxes of current production RWS for sale. I believe the price is *ahem* $94/box. You could always pick up some Privi brass and roll your own. On that note though, for some reason I could not get 160gr Hornady RN bullets to feed well from my M1903.

Sorry if I ruffled feathers.

I'm not much of a photographer but here goes. The front sight is missing.

Finished off the conversion others had started. This one's destined to be resting on some deer hair in the big timber this year!

A few more Mannlichers to share. First the Steyr variety. A Model SL in .223 with a spectacular piece of wood. This one is so pretty I may need to sell it because I can't bear the notion of it bouncing around on the back of the ATV.





A Model S 7mm mag ready to do its stuff.





The hybrid. A Model 72 carbine in .30-06. Sweet little, good shooting rifle with a weird safety.






And finally the real thing. A Model 52, 7x57 - by far my current favorite

 

[west250]

Those are real beauties Cowboybob, thanks for sharing!

Not bad for a 94 year old rifle:

Now if I can replicate it to at least 1 1/2 moa I'll be ready for the timber!

Great

Its great to see pictures of these rifles. This "Mannlicher" thread seems to be working.


Here's a picture of some Mannlichers and Mannlicher-type rifles taken at a gun show on the "not for sale" section of my table. (From the top, 1959 Husqvarna 30-06, 1954 Sako .222 Rem., 1945 Brno 8x57 JS, 1919 Mannlicher-Schoenauer 6.5x54, 1928 Mann.-Sch. "Sequoia"30-06):

Steyr-Mannlicher Model L in 22-250 Rem. Fullstock, DST. Made in 1968, first year of production and it has the early features like a three-position safety (later versions are two-position) and trigger guard mag release. Near new. Scope is a 60's Bushnell Banner 4X.
