I like this image of a similar M-S back in the day:

You are going to have one of our members Rothammer bombarding you with images now. That is his father or grand-father.

Yes, it is a good image.

I like your rifle. But that new recoil pad needs to fade a bit.

I'm rather fond of that image, myself!

I was even more fond of Mr, John Forrest Easton, my grandfather, who is holding the M1910 Takedown Model at center of the 1932 photo. I am now its custodian and keeper and have been for decades. The leopard's claws are in the MS's fitted case, the pith helmet and (not well cured) hide have long since given way to the ravages of time.

Mr. Easton





The buttpad is a bit unfortunate. It would originally have been appointed with one of these, which do occasionally show up on Ebay.





* Good call, Nitrox!
It seems I was composing this (with photo bombardment) as you were posting .

I appreciate the kind words some members made concerning my post and rifle. And yes time will work it wonder to soften the color of the Silvers pad.
However I decided to just delete it when another member, as predicted, loaded the post with much previously posted and unwanted noise. The post was not about the hunt picture. It was most disrespectful.

I think you've got to grow some tolerance ...

I was joking about his enthusiasm not criticising. I think Rotthammer is a good enthusiastic and active member.

If you don't like a post, just skip over it. And if a member on a thread is changing the topic, just ask them politely to keep to the topic or start a new thread.

Really?

My aim was not to steal anyone's thunder, trample your petunias, or any other such thing.


Many who view these threads and posts come across them via random internet searches (as I first came to NE) and may not have seen the "previously posted... noise". I understand that to see the same images repeatedly may be redundant for some 'regulars' here at Nitro Express but they may be rather informative to those who have not.

My aim is to propagate and disseminate accurate information regarding the Mannlicher Schoenauer rifles and carbines while gaining additional knowledge, myself, through discussion with informed persons.

Oddly enough, the following is a reply to a post that I had made in a rather similar fashion here on NE, 'previously posted noise' and all. This was posted two weeks ago by a member with the initials LRF. Have you heard of him?

Re: Researching stock numbers seen on commercial M-S rifles [Re: Rothhammer1]
#339750 - 04/04/20 08:44 AM

Thanks for the response and a lot of good info provided.
My M1910 is a Half-stock ~20" barrel so I would call it a carbine. All the proofs are similar to as you explain. The London are interesting of course as it specifically says the 43 grain cordite and 270 grain bullet and .375 EX. The stock has the serial number of the action under the front receiver ring. There is a +2 and -2 similar to your "15".
With your gun being involved in the known Ceylon trade it certain adds credence to the thoughts that the impressed stock toeline numbers had something to do with guns sent to India/Ceylon.

If anyone else has information they could led please comment. Thanks to all

Regarding this, "The post was not about the hunt picture. It was most disrespectful.", you started this thread with two posts. One had an introduction to and images of your (very nice) M1910, the other was the "hunt picture" of my grandfather holding the M1910 that I now own .

Perhaps if you don't want dingoes about, you oughtn't throw raw meat in the yard?

If you took my post as disparaging to your M1910, it was not. It is a rather nice looking MS and your photos show plainly that the previously installed buttpad was in need of replacement. You improved it and made it functional again. The forend trim is not something I would have done, but it's your rifle. Besides, if you can tolerate one more bit of "previously posted and unwanted noise", differing stock lengths and a horn forend tip were 'cost options' offered to American buyers of new MS from Stoeger in 1939:

PS what is far worse is making a post and having very few comments, "Nice", "Good" or like facebook a dozen likes and no comments, no interaction. On forums interaction is what drives it and keeps it going.

All of R's post were on topic btw.

Brian is an active and very helpful member who regularly participates and helps other members with posting of photos etc. where they are unable to themselves. He is always a source of valuable information with these rifles as well as providing a great source of photos from catalogues such as the Stoeger catalogue which has much interesting information.

---

Why thank you, Matt. You're making me blush.
It's good to be appreciated.

Gentlemen,

I am guessing cabin fever is starting to affect more and more people, and everyone is getting grumpier.

So everyone needs to take a deep breath, and post in a calm manner. On threads or the internet in general.

---

At this point it seems that I really have 'hijacked' LRF's thread, which was not my intention.

I bear no animosity at all toward LRF or any other NE member and welcome further discourse and discussion from all. To put all of this down as a mild spate of 'cabin fever' and move on suits me fine.

I would like, however, to express gratitude to Nitrox, Ash, Waidmannsheill, JDL, Eagle27, for expressing their support of my posting style, even with 'previously posted noise' , and to all present and future who appreciate my posts. It really does warm the soul and I'll try not to be overtly obnoxious .


Yes, that's me.

On a lighter note:

If it were not for being a PITA using IMGUR as a photo host to be able to post here...

As it is I quite value the informational posts from Roth, Waidmann, Eagle, et all.......I do my best to add to the interest base as well.
