Really?

My aim was not to steal anyone's thunder, trample your petunias, or any other such thing.

Many who view these threads and posts come across them via random internet searches (as I first came to NE) and may not have seen the "previously posted... noise". I understand that to see the same images repeatedly may be redundant for some 'regulars' here at Nitro Express but they may be rather informative to those who have not.

My aim is to propagate and disseminate accurate information regarding the Mannlicher Schoenauer rifles and carbines while gaining additional knowledge, myself, through discussion with informed persons.

Oddly enough, the following is a reply to a post that I had made in a rather similar fashion here on NE, 'previously posted noise' and all. This was posted two weeks ago by a member with the initials LRF. Have you heard of him?

Re: Researching stock numbers seen on commercial M-S rifles [Re: Rothhammer1]

Thanks for the response and a lot of good info provided.
My M1910 is a Half-stock ~20" barrel so I would call it a carbine. All the proofs are similar to as you explain. The London are interesting of course as it specifically says the 43 grain cordite and 270 grain bullet and .375 EX. The stock has the serial number of the action under the front receiver ring. There is a +2 and -2 similar to your "15".
With your gun being involved in the known Ceylon trade it certain adds credence to the thoughts that the impressed stock toeline numbers had something to do with guns sent to India/Ceylon.

If anyone else has information they could led please comment. Thanks to all

Regarding this, "The post was not about the hunt picture. It was most disrespectful.", you started this thread with two posts. One had an introduction to and images of your (very nice) M1910, the other was the "hunt picture" of my grandfather holding the M1910 that I now own .

Perhaps if you don't want dingoes about, you oughtn't throw raw meat in the yard?

If you took my post as disparaging to your M1910, it was not. It is a rather nice looking MS and your photos show plainly that the previously installed buttpad was in need of replacement. You improved it and made it functional again. The forend trim is not something I would have done, but it's your rifle. Besides, if you can tolerate one more bit of "previously posted and unwanted noise", differing stock lengths and a horn forend tip were 'cost options' offered to American buyers of new MS from Stoeger in 1939:
