Vergueiro sporter project

have a Vergueiro project going on and because its a Mannlicher Schönauer clone I think its fits better into the mannlicher section.
the vergueiro rifle was a portugues attempt to get a MS M 1903 for a better price.




on the first view the action looking very strange but DWM/Berlin made a clone between a M 88 and a M 98 and if you going depper into this you become familiar.
the receiver is M 88 with a M 98 thumphole, bolt stop and mauser magazin with hinged floorplate. the bolt is the construction of vergueiro but follow the dimensions of the M88/M92/Mannlicher Schönauer bolt in general.


















it looks unique but DWM was using the machinery they allready had. because of this project here http://forums.nitroexpress.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=177069&an=0&page=0#Post177069
I bought a deactivated rifle for my own. mismatched and without a wing safety but promising. with a 6,5mm barrel blank at hand I decided to make a 6,5x57.
original a 6,5x58 the common 6,5x57 comes very close to this.





now the barreled action is back from the proof house in Suhl and everything is allright. gunmaker have an old M 98 stock we will try to reutilise. seems to be a good idea I am allways short in time.
got an Zeiss Diatal 6x42 in very good shape with MS claw mount parts last year. quite likely it comes from an post war mannlicher schönauer and one shudder when thinking what they have done to this classic rifle after.
