Offered here with a 24" barrel, from the 1939 Stoeger:
My M1925 Mannlicher – Schoenauer had it's barrel shortened slightly, due to a damaged muzzle. I just remeasured it, breech face to muzzle, as 57.5 cm = 22.5". BTW, the M-S rifle barrels were 60 cm, that is 23.6", not 24".
Indeed. My 1922 proofed M1910 Takedown has a 60 cm barrel. Apparently the U.S. catalog (Stoeger) rounded to the nearest convenient measurement in inches.
According to the 1939 Stoeger the MS carbines (stutzen) were offered with an 18" barrel for the 6.5, 20" for the .30-'06, 7x57, 9x56, 8X56, and 9.5X57.
The rifles were 24" (per Stoeger) in .30-'06, 7X64, 8X60, 9.3X62, and 10.75X68.
"Extra long barrels" were available, however. The 9.5 was listed up to 26 inches (or was it 66cm?).
That's a very nice rifle you've built (the 1920s 'parts' rifle), and the M1925 MS is just marvelous. Is that one of your modified Lyman peep sights?
Also, is that a (beautifully executed) horn extension of the butt with the original steel plate reinstalled? That's an interesting location for the rear sling swivel.
