G'day Geoff, in Australia also. In the process of putting a x64 together on an FN 98 action, I have everything except the cases which I paid for in February and still have not arrived. Do Bertram do 9.3x64 cases? Do they have distributors or are they direct sales?

RWS still makes ammunition and cases, but the prices are, as the cases where drawn from pure gold.

I THINK Bertram will do cases; best bet is phone/email them Monday..... I was lucky, only waited about six months.

Good luck trying to import from the US, it can be a major pain...
Agree, export permit from US around $300 USD, import permit for AUS $? plus shipping, plus cost of cases. That's why I'm okay with $4.00 a case purchased locally, 7 month wait so far and possibly another 6 to go is not so cool.

Or you can contact Hansie Minnaar , owner of Stewarts core bonded bullets and drawn brass casing...since our currency is lower than the manners of a farm pig , you will get it for cheap and the brass Hansie is making is of exceptional quality...I do not know of any USA company that will be cheaper than Hansie Minnaar

From the 1954 Stoeger Catalog:
The full page:
I still don't get HWL's assertion that the purpose of the additional safety is to unload the MS while in ' a safe condition'.
The MS is unloaded (by depressing the release button) with bolt open and pulled back. What could possibly be safer than that?

I know a serious Mannlicher Schoenauer collector on one of the other forums, there are still a lot of original Mannlicher Schoenauers in South Africa....If we arrange a Mannlicher Schoenauer open sights only hunting I assure you we will have more participants than we will be able to accommodate on such a hunt...Almost all of these original Mannlicher Schoenauers are rifles given from one generation to the next generation....
I'd like to see that happen and to have a well written article about it, including histories of each MS involved and with many photographs.

Ok, English is not my native language, but i will try it.
What I meant was not the unloading of the MAGAZINE, but the unloading of a live round out of the chamber.
A Mannlicher with flag safety has two positions only, "Fire" and "Safe"..... left an right.
In case you want to unload the rifle, you have to go to "fire", because in "safe" you can not open the bolt.
With the additional tang safety, you can keep this safety in "safe" and the rifle can be unloaded in safe condition.
The Mauser M98 had a 3-Position-Safety because of this reason, "Fire"(left),.....you can fire the gun and load/unload, "Safe"(Right),... you can not fire the gun and not operate the bolt(no loading/unloading),......and the "middle"position, the rifle is safe, but you can open the bolt and load/unload.
To unload a rifle in safe condition is nothing but a safety feature..... in its heydays, Germany hat 8 million soldiers, most of them (idiots
) armed with Mauser M98...… every day, ONE IDIOT can kill a comrade while unloading his rifle in fire condition…..HWL

There is another feature of the Mannlicher flag safety most owners do not know…..
You can block the bolt of an uncocked rifle by pushing the safety forward and turn it to the right 180 degrees
Now, the bolt can not be opened (and lost) unintentionally….

You have to give Gert Odendaal a kick hard enough, and he will make it happen....
I would fly around the globe for this.
For sure, we will see rifles in every caliber Steyr offered in the Mannlicher-Schoenauer.
