Hi Gang
I'm excited to be receiving a new addition to my hunting rifle collection. I purchased a Mannlicher 1908 Stutzen last week and I expect that it will be delivered to my FFL end of this week or next week. I was lucky to get it at a great price. The main issue is that somebody previously removed the set trigger. I will need to see what inner components remain. I'm in the process of trying to track down the appropriate parts.
I now have a 1903 full stock rifle, a 1905 Stutzen and this 1908. My intent is to have one of every proprietary Mannlichers for my collection. That means I'm on the look-out for a 1910 Stutzen or take-down rifle. I've seen some 1910's for sale, but I would like to find one that has not been modified for a claw mount scope. It seems that the 1910's are less common than the other years.
