Here is another Mannlicher-Schoenauer in 6.5x68. It's got a 26"barrel and a 6x42 Hensoldt "Diatal" scope in claw mounts. I had to refinish the stock slightly and replaced the perished ventilated white-line recoil pad with the one shown. in one aspect it is quite unusual: The inscription on the receiver ring reads "Mod. 1950"! It clearly has a post-1952 "Magnum" action with the reinforced "safety lug" abutment behind the straight bolthandle. Other than the M1950 actions, there are no clip guides, but the secondary sliding sear-block safety, the low bolt handle and the inside-stock blank on the left side (to facilitate a side-mount) of the post-1952 models are there. It was proofed in 1959. Why then the M1950 moniker? The post-1952 models usually ber designations independent of action style, but relating to stock styles: "MC" with an exaggerated monte-carlo comb, "MCA" with am ore restrained m-c butt and the European "GK" for Grader Kolben = straight buttstock. So one would expect a GK on this rifle, but there is still a difference: The "GK" had the same fuller, black-tipped foreend like the MC or MCA with a bottom mounted conventional sling swivel, perhaps to streamline manufacture, but this rifle sports the slim, pre-war style foreend with a stirrup sling swivel, last used on the Mod.1950, so the factory stamped this on the receiver ring.
