Quote:
any pics from such 9,3x53 swiss hunting rifles? was the original military stock used, sporterized or new stocked?
there are also rumors about a version in 9,3x57 but till now I have not seen such a rifle.
maybe in sweden somewhere
sorry, no pics at the time. Of the few M93s in 9.3x53 Swiss I have seen many years ago, two were still in their military full stocks, handguards and all, one was restocked, but apparently quite recently. Perhaps a pre-shaped sporterstock for the M95 Austrian by Schweigert, Augsburg was modified?
The only Mannlicher-Schoenauers in 9.3x57 I have ever seen came from Sweden. Clearly rebarreled M05 and M08 actions. I have not yet seen a factory M-Sch in 9.3x57. From the factory standpoint: why should they offer this chambering? They had their own proprietary 9x56 and 9.5x57 running in the same class.
