1903 - 1910 magazines or sale.

Ebay has a few MS magazines for sale. This one I asked the owner about and it's in 6.5mm. I got lucky and bought one for $50 10 days ago.

Casper, Very interesting. I assume these come from parted ou rifles. If that is correct, why would someone part out a 1903 MS??

there's a guy on there that parts out a lot of MS rifles. He gets more for the parts than for the whole. But seems to take a long time for him to make a sale as he asks astronomical prices.

The 'Greek Contract' military Mannlicher Schoenauers (Y1903, Y1903/14, Y1903/14/27, 'System 1930' and variants) were the same 'action' and used the same Schoenauer magazine as did the M1903 sporting rifles and stutzen. Many have been poorly stored, damaged, left behind in battlefields and such over the years and have subsequently been 'parted out'.

Numrich Arms once had vast stores of Y1903 parts.

Magazines and other model specific parts for M1905, M1908, M1910... are exponentially harder to find.
