Good day members
Would my assumption be correct if I say that according to knowledgeable persons the Manlicher Schonauer became to expensive to build? What other influences lead to the demise of the real Mannlicher Schonauer up to the 1950 era? I do like historical information regarding manufacturing of venerable calibers of old...






Two issues killed the M-S back in the 1970s. The major contributing factor was, as you rightly note, cost. M-S rifles were always significantly more expensive than contemporary US built mass production rifles and this eventually reached breaking point in the late 1960s. The other significant factor was the relative difficulty of mounting a scope sight due to the split-bridge receiver on these rifles. In the 1960 and 70s the use of scope sights became pretty much universal. M-S rifles could be scoped of course, but at the expense of greater complexity and cost.
