My 1903 arrived yesterday
      #392342 - 07/07/25 11:10 AM

My MS 1903 arrived from England yesterday. Case isn't original but fits, I'll look for a proper Westley label for it. Shot and regulated by Westley Richards on top of barrel, cordite 30 1/2-156 on side.

I do like. The stock timber is very much to my liking.

I like the idea of having sodern classic gun cases made. Except for the price. Putting one's initials on a quassic quality leather and canvas gun case is one way to be remembered for generations.





Lovely and wonderful condition 1903 65 mm M-S,

Congratulations.

Better shape than some of my rifles.
Just wishing I had an '03.

Agreed, every hunting rifleman should own at least one Mannlicher Schoenauer, sometime in their life!

...and 1903s are at the cute end!
