![]() ![]() Rifle" was introduced in 1903 and manufactured without fundamental change Mannlicher-Schoenauer Model 1952 Carbine. ![]() ("sold" meaning, don't ask me now what year is on the barrel !).ġ registered and 6 anonymous users are browsing this forum.The Mannlicher-Schönauer Model 1952 Carbine Model - Caliber -Serial - proof date as stamped. These are on barrel and receiver, with a + on one and - on the other. I have encountered them on prewar rifles, runnig from 05 to 2. Those +- numbers, +-05 on your rifle, are apparently measurements to help fitting barrel to receiver. Note that the post-war proofdates are above the stockline, visible without disassembly. *my 6.5圆8 is marked " Mod.1950" on the receiver ring, though it is obviously a post-1952 action without clip guides, but with low bolt handle, side safety and dummy side plate inside stock to facilitate side-mounting a scope. Model_Caliber_Serial#_Proof date as stamped Here are my Mannlicher-Schoenauers sorted as to proofdates: The Steyr factory serial number is not to be confused with the proofhouse ledger number stamped on M-Sch's until the late 1920s. All other parts are unnumbered, different from Mausers. Yes, the serial number is on the right side of the receiver ring, barrel shank, inside the stock channel and under the bolt handle only. Is the serial number stamped only on the action, bolt and stock? Thanks for that kuduae, my mate has one that is a 1920 manufacture date and it has the serial number before the year stamp. FI my own M 1924 in 30-06 has the factory serial number 299, while my slightly earlier M 1910 is # 11400. The Steyr factory used seperate serial number ranges for each of their Mannlicher-Schoenauer models, so a comparatively low-numbered HighVelocity rifle, M 1925, may be much later than a higher-numbered M1903. ![]() The M1910 serial number should be on the right side of the receiver ring, above the woodline. Perhaps they registered the M-Sch rifles by their serial numbers then. Since about 1928 the Steyr factory department of the Vienna proofhouse did not stamp the proofhouse ledger number. But I am a little confused, there is no serial number then. ![]() I have read posts about how you date the rifle. I was wondering if someone may be able to help me with the year of manufacture. I purchased HuntingSchneider's 9.5x57 a few months ago. Shooting & Reloading - Mausers, Big Bores and others ![]()
