Mannlicher Schönauer 'Prewar' M1900, M1903, M1905, M1908, M1910, M1924, 'M1925' or 'High Velocity'

[MS 9x56]

The Mannlicher-Schoenauer 1903 has on top a clip-loader guide . Does anyone know what type of clip was used? Thanks Oriano

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.
