Firstly I still can not work out how to post photos to this site even following the instruction posted in multiple places. Very frustrating.. and rant over!

Walked into one of my local gunshops for something entirely different and walked out with another rifle!

In this circumstance it is a Manlicher Schoenauer or perhaps more correctly, a Mannlicher Steyr. I believe, based on searching through this site and others, it to be a 1952 GK, it has the swept back polished bolt handle, bbl and action stamped "60", European stile full stock with the Steyr Pivot mounts, Pecar 6 x 59 in .243 cal. Unfortunately, the mounts cover the model designation as they are fitted to the front receiver ring so the only other markings I can report are "Steyr Daimler Puch" on the side of the receiver marking, the Steyr "Target" logo on the Magazine floor plate along with John Sark & Co Sydney also on the floor plate.

Despite being involved with the firearms trade, shooting and collecting for many years in AUS, I do not know of this company. If any of the Aussie members know anything about Sark & Co I would appreciate any information. An internet search only produced an auction sale from of Ferlach Drilling also marked with their name.

Cheers Steve
