The 1903 Mannlicher rifles and carbines were the last designs of Ferdinand Ritter Von Mannlicher, who died the next year, and his friend Otto Schönauer who designed the exceptional rotary drum magazine intrinsic to all Mannlicher-Schoenauer rifles. Austria and Greece adopted the 1903 military rifle and the 6.5×54 cartridge that same year. Our Assessment: The Mannlicher-Schoenauer rifle dates to 1903 when the 6.5x54mm cartridge and both military and civilian rifles to shoot it were introduced. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance requirements. There is a bolt release on the left rear of the receiver. The rifle has a rotary magazine with a push-button release on the right side of the receiver at the port. There is a rotating latch at the front of the trigger guard, but it doesn’t seem to do anything. It has a Mauser style safety on the back of the bolt which blocks the triggers and locks the bolt. Mechanics: The action functions correctly. Overall, this rifle rates in about Very Good to Fine condition. The screw heads are mostly sharp with a few showing very light tool marks. The bolt and receiver show operational wear and the bolt body has a streaky, reddish discoloration we believe may be a touch-up. The barrel has a few scattered light marks. Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 96% of its metal finish. There is some very light erosion in the grooves at the muzzle-end. Overall, the stocks are in about Very Good-plus condition as possibly not original to the gun (see Our Assessment).įinish Originality: Original, the bolt may have been touched-up with Cold Blueīore Condition: The bore is bright-gray with light wear in pronounced rifling. The pad has hardened with age with wear and slight loss around the edges, in about Good condition. The LOP measures 13 5/8″ from the front of the trigger to the back of the recoil pad, 12 1/2″ to the back of the wood. The checkering is well defined with light handling wear. The stock has some scattered light compressions, scuffs and drag lines. The grip cap has a cleverly concealed plug on a small compartment for storage of small items such as patches, peep sight inserts, etc. Stock Configuration & Condition: The stock is one-piece checkered walnut with capped pistol grip, monte-carlo comb, ventilated orange rubber Mershon White Line recoil pad and sling swivels front and rear. The front leaf has a vertical line aiming reference, the rear a triangle, we believe both references are platinum-plated. There is no provision for mounting a scope. Both leaves are “V” notched and the front face of the rear leaf is marked “100”, the front “200”. The front leaf is folding and the rear leaf fixed. The rear sight is a 2 leaf express sight dovetailed into a boss near the rear of the barrel. Sights / Optics: The front sight is Lyman brass beaded blade dovetailed into a banded mount at the front of the barrel.
