Hi Rothhammer1,
Thank you for the latest Stoeger extract; I've been re-reading the M-S ad in their 1970 edition, which I've just found, after sorting through some old boxes. I think this was the last year the M-S was made.
There's also an article about M-S's written by Sam Fadala in the 1997 'Gun Digest'.
All the best,
Spikey.
The internet has become a treasure trove for hunting images.
I read a Sam Fadala article in Rifle Magazine about that same time (same article?) in which he had fond reminisces of Northern Arizona rabbit and pronghorn hunts with his MS. Living in Winslow at the time, I actually wrote a letter to the editor and enclosed a personal letter to Mr, Fadala inviting him to drop by anytime he was in the area for some Jeepin' and shootin'. He wrote back accepting, but that circumstances at the time prevented his being away from responsibilities.
I have the article, letter, and published reply somewhere.
Mannlicher Schoenauers were built and sold through 1972.
