Congratulations, Nitrox!

The guy in the red suit was certainly good to you this year! Who knew that Saint Nick's actual name was Rolf?

I've found myself wondering who will inherit my Granddad's M1910 when I meet my demise. I've stayed single so far (might make it the whole way through as such), so it will likely go to my eldest brother or to my cousin Greg. He would be the male lineage down from G'pa (my mother's father). When G'pa died in '89, Greg was a young'n and G'ma knew that ol' John Easton was my favorite human and how much I appreciated the lore and history of the Mannlicher Schönauer (besides, I had asked her for it).


(Someday I've got to learn to 'resize' these.)

We've discussed the projectiles appropriate to the M1910 (9.5X57) on the Mannlicher Forum, and I believe member Sharps 4590 loads cast bullets for the M1908 (8X56).

You're going to love these, of that I've no doubt. Many published references make a lot of the M1910's recoil. It's never bothered me, she won't hurt you if you hold 'er tight to the shoulder.

Surely you'll keep us all apprised of your adventures with these on the Mannlicher Forum?

Looking at your photos I noticed that on the rifle pictured, the foresight is 'rebated' - mounted aft of the muzzle - as had been done on MS rifles prepared by some of the fine British smiths. With that and the full length stutzen stocks, were they custom ordered through Steyr or are they Westley Richards or such? When were they proofed and where? We'll anxiously await more detailed photos, proofs, etcetera.
