some time ago I got a old and very shabby Mannlicher having what I thought than potential.

the rifle was laying on ice for a long time but I start now again

steal polished (80%), stock cleaned, sand and oiled

small parts were fire blued and good old mister dyson from the uk send my his blueing salt so it will look original again. thanks to Kuduae who point me on this.

action work dry with dutch surplus very well

this is an old pic showing the swivel screw "hammered" into the stock once

I close the hole and welded the srew's head on a disk, will be soft soldered on the barrel

for the scope I found a Kaps/Wetzlar 2,5x Ziellux
the rings will be extended what will go very nice because of the threads on the underside. I am looking fore pics showing old mannlicher with scope to get a feeling in which distance they build the scope over the rifle than.

I am looking for a lot of, maybe, 100 old .303 British brass cases with Berdan primer. must be british made brass or from any other country if it have the 6,34mm Berdan primer. I have a lot of RWS 6,34mm berdan primer and be a dandy enough to us them if geting brass.
