I am still kinda wandering around in the dark on this rifle as far as a stock. Is the action the same as the Greek?, would the 1910 MS fit in the Greek stock as far as the action size. Reason I ask is I can find a couple of places that make stocks for the Greek actions and if they would fit I might be able to go that direction.

I think the action would fit into a greek stock but it could be the barrel is to thick in diameter.
you have to try it.

---

What I hoped was that if the action fit up to the barrel ring then I could request a smaller barrel channel and fit it to the barrel contour on the 1910. I have done that before on the Dutch Mannlicher.

Member * kuduae may have the answer.

He is _very_ well versed on the subtle differences between models of Mannlicher Schoenauer and of European sporting arms in general.

I have a 1910 MS in 9.5x57 20 inch barrel. It came to me with out a stock, my question is can I fit a Greek pattern stock to accept the 1910 action. I have listed photos on the web site.
The reason I ask is that Richards in Calif does have the Greek pattern and will accommodate the changes ie: full lenght stock and smaller barrel channel as well as a larger butt to fit the trapdoor butt plate.

I disassembled two of my Mannlicher-Schoenauers for comparision: A M1903 in 6.5x54 M-S by G.Gibbs on an 1905 dated action from the Steyr military production or the Greeks and a M1910 in 9.5x57 M-S built in the 1930s.


There are very few differences: The receeivers proper are the same as to length, diameters and bolt size. Merely the magazine base (# 40 in the old Stoeger parts list posted above by Rothammer) and the floorplate (# 41) are 1 mm `= .04” wider (not longer!) on the 1910. The barrel dimensions are the same. The trap buttplates are interchangeable from the M1903 to the M1925. So I see no major problems apart from a bit of hand inletting on adapting a m1903 stock to a M1910. As the 9.5x57 produces considerable more recoil than the 6.5x54, you should install and glass bed a hidden crossbolt behind that small recoil lug under the receiver ring.

Ok another question on the 1910 model, did they ever come with a trap door grip cap?

---

Why, certainly.

Many 'Take Down Models' had the feature which allowed for storage of sight beads.

My grandfather's cased, 1922 proofed, M1910 TD had a spare sight bead in the grip, wrapped in cheesecloth.
