Re: Take Down Bolt Gun

The original Mannlicher Schoenauer (M1903, M1905, M1908, M1910, M1924/25) was available from Steyr in a 'takedown' version that was held in place by a slot at the tang, a spring loaded forend pin, and a lever just fore of the trigger guard.

To take down one simply removes the magazine, the forend pin, turns the lever and the barreled action lifts out cleanly.

Other systems were used by custom makers but this is how the original MS takedown system was built by Steyr.

I have an M1910 takedown thus configured with its original fitted case.
