Can’t say for the model 1903 but my model 1905 uses standard Mauser 8x57 clips.

Those should work on an M1903. I've actually been able to load Springfield clips, but with a scope attached, you cannot, so I don't bother. I just load one by one, and download using the button on the side of the rotary magazine.

'Stripper clips' for the 8mm Mausers work just fine.
Thanks everyone. I actually tried with the 8 Mauser clips, but the 6.5mm came out due to the different base diameters (11.52/454 for the MS and 11.95/470 for the Mauser), and the plate is narrower than the receiver seat. The Mannlicher Schoenauer Greco frame and the mounting for its plates were probably simply used... I took them from the archive: it's the stripper clip of the Greek Mannlicher Schoenauer, could it be this one?

Yes that will work if you can find them.

The 'Greek' MS used the same 6.5X54 cartridge as did the prototype and early production M1900 and all M1903 commercial models.

Good news.
The uphill struggle for finding fore-end pins for MS detachable stock models has come to an end!
Michael Miedler (Austria) can produce them upon request; he recently produced a new one for me and he was also able to repair a broken leaf spring on a damaged pin I sent him. All work is professionally done and stock pins fit well. Michael can be contacted through his email...
Here is a link to Herr Miedler's shop: Miedler

I'll update you, Brian, on the progress of the new pin for the M1903 takedown.
I've been in contact with Mr. Michael of Miedler Waffen since the end of May of this year: a true old-school Austrian gunsmith, patient and capable! On the first shot, he nailed the mechanical dimensions of the pin (thanks to your measurements), which were slightly higher in the button, but I like it even better that way. He just needs to refine and modify the spring (with the opening button), which is a complex part, but then we're ready! I'll keep you updated...

Very cool for any and all who need them, and very useful as spares.

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?
Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.
