IMHO that William Evans M-Sch riffle was built on a barreled M03 action from the (Greek) military production. Up to 1905 Steyr did not sell commercial rifles or barreled actions, but everybody could buy a complete rifle from the military production runs. British gunmakers like Gibbs bought such complete military rifles from the Steyr factory and sporterized them to variing degrees, most often restocked and resighted. Sorry, but none of the photos above shows the right, bolt handle side of the action, as miltary and commercial M03 Mannlicher-Schoenauer actions are easily distinguished. All the commercial M-Sch actions have the flat bolt-hold-down spring inlet into the receiver bridge just behind the bolt handle, the military production receivers have none. Compare the photos above, as there is a sporterized Greek military one shown too, the one with straight bolt handle and hollow knob. Further, commercials have The "Oesterr. Waffenfabr.-Ges.Steyr" inscribed on the left receiver wall, while military production ones are merely inscribed with "Steyr" and the year of production, "1905" on my Gibbs.
