Hello all!

Your cartridge release button (cartridge stop - #29 in image below) appears to be missing.

The stock has also been altered significantly.

Logical options would be to restore to original specifications (stock may be difficult to obtain), further 'sporterize' it to your own preferences, or enjoy shooting 'as is' (are there any sights on it?).

Regardless, get a box of proper fitting cartridges, take her out and shoot her, You may find yourself to be a lifelong MS fan thereafter.
You stated that the "cartridge release button" is missing. Can you higlight in my pictures where that part SHOULD be?

This should not be an open hole (the small oval opening along right side rail):

It should be filled by the cartridge release button, a part of the cartridge stop:

When cartridge release button is pressed, any cartridges loaded in the spool of Otto Schoenauer's rotary magazine will eject, tumbling outward. Have you tried loading the MS?

Here is proper function of the cartridge release:
 
Greetings PastorTaz,

Good luck with your rifle.
Mannlicher-Shoenauer rifles are fascinating.
If only they could talk, what stories they would tell.
