Mounting a scope on a 1903.....
#213697 - 30/07/12 07:41 PM

Hello all.

I got it, my first Mannlicher Schönauer 1903 carabin 6.5x54 MS.
It needs restoration, a new barrel and a new finish.
But, it is a Mannlicher, original, so I am happy.

It now only got the open sights and I like to add a scope on it. But, what kind of scope mount will fit, be best? Yes, original is best....But hard to get. Anyone who reproduce the original?

The original finish, what was it called? A gunsmith I talked with sad it was not bluing, but more a red looking finsish to them original. Really?

Cheers all, Vegard_dino

Hi and thanks for the tip.

A new EWA is also, I guess, a better mount than the original.
On the other hand, will it look "right"?

RECKNAGEL also sells claw mounts. But IMHO high quality sidemount is a good alternative too. It`s usefull and much cheaper if you some day want to change scope size.

May I ask where you plan to get the new barrel? And do they have two? Many thanks.

Thanks. I think I will have to go to NECG here in the states. But, I hear they do good work. Good luck on your project!
