In all the furthest corner of my gun store, covered by an inch of dust, I found this one.

Love the Mannlicher-Schoenhauer range.. I had a 9.5x57 MS made in 1910, with the J type magazine!

Nice GK HWL! I really like the Mannlicher-Schoenauer too. I have a 1908 proofed in 1919:

Unfortunately not...had a house break in years ago in Johannesburg and they managed to break open my rifle safe( we were way on holiday)...stole all firearms and ammo plus plus plus...!!!!
This was in 1997 and still nothing recovered..

Sorry for this... today, it is almost impossible to get a 9,5x57 Mannlicher-Schoenauer...

...in my little MS collection is a Take Down and a "Stutzen" ... sometimes I think about to hunt with on an african trip.

..perfect for pigs in Europe

Have exactly the same rifle in .270. It was equipped with a detachable Griffin & Howe side scope mount which both looks very period and works perfectly.

53 gr of N540 will accelerate 175 gr Sierra Pro Hunter....

Tomorrow is range day, ....and I will awaken this rifle to a new life!
