very interesting sporting rifle in finland. what we see on the pics it must be a romania mannlicher M 93 action. probably build by Sako its chambered in 9,3x53R and use the Mannlicher M 95 clip. remember that the 8x50R Mannlicher and the 7,62x54R have a very similar rim/ base diameter. must have been one of the romania military rifle's captured from austria in WW 1 and rebuild for the 8x50R by Steyr. than comes to finland and sporterized after WW 2. sometimes its a long way igorrock is working to get this rifle, good luck finally Bokmal found a original and complete russian cartridge box for my collection in Finland. its not in my hands just know but I am very happy about it. this is truly the white elephant of the cartridge collectors. and again with brass case so it seems right that the old production was made with brass when the new LVE ammo have copper plated steel cases. |
