Hello all,

A local dealer have a M1908 carabin in, the barrel is 49 cm, around 20"(?), caliber is 8*57 IS, but is that a re-done? Maybe it was a 8*56 MS to start with?
How are these short barreled Mannlicher to shoot, make a BIG blast and a lot of noise? Or not that bad??
They are some handy guns for short range hunting in thick cover.
