? re cocking piece compatibility
      #227150 - 17/03/13 01:06 PM

Will a Greek military M-S cocking piece interchange with that from a 1910 M-S? Any alterations required?

I see that Numrich has the Greek cocking pieces available and I recently picked up a Lyman 1A sight complete with the already dovetailed mounting nut. It looks like the nut is located on the cocking piece via two small machine screws and I'd prefer to not drill and tap the factory c.p. on the rifle if I can swap in a spare.

TIA,
Bill

The firing pin nuts are identical on all Mannlicher-Schoenauers from the 1903, military or sporting actions, to the last 1970 production "magnum" models, as are the firing pins, cocking pieces, main springs, safeties and bolt heads. The mil and civilian parts vary in decoration, checkering and knurling, only. In a pinch you may even substitute the striker and it's nut from an earlier Mannlicher turnbolt like the Dutch, Romanian or even German M88 action.
