hope someone buy it and rechamber the gun for the 450 3 1/4 BPE, this was a real Collath caliber. By the way, only in the Collath catalog from 1914 I found a 500BPE cartridge with a 3,38" long case. Anybody here have seen a 500BPE cartridge with a case over 3,25" long? The Manlicher Schoenauer Rifle was the little brother of the Mauser 98 rifle,allways a beautyfull and fine gun. A gunmaker in austria now build new Mannlicher Schoenauer. He have learned by Mannlicher and build the old ones when he was a young man.
