Re: Mannlicher Schoenauer barrel size

Waidmannsheil

Apologies for this belated reply but I have been travelling over the last two weeks. Please find below the requested information about M. 1903 & M. 1908 barrels' size:


Measures come from the following rifles:
- Model 1908 - Take Down - Pre 1925 - This rifle was already presented on the Forum.
- Model 1908 - Stutzen - 1919 - Not yet presented on the Forum.
- Model 1903 - Stutzen - 1926 - This rifle was already presented on the Forum. Note that it may not be the best example of a standard 'stutzen' as it's barrel has the same length as rifle or take-down versions; however the stock looks original and bears inside the rifle's serial number so I assume it was a special order.

Measurements were made at:
- The far side (closest from the muzzle) of the ring on which is set the rear sight; this ring is soldered at the same place for my M. 1903 & 1908 rifles.
- The far side (closest from the muzzle) of the ring on which is set the front swivel; this ring is soldered at the same place for my M. 1903 & 1908 rifles.
- The muzzle.

I hope this will help.

Best regards.

Louis
