MS 'Greek' Sporter Conversions - Shooting Times, July 1967
05/02/19 04:04 PM

Here's another blast from the past, courtesy of member Waidmannsheil.

Author G.A. Yorks provides an overview of the Mannlicher Schönauer's function and gives advice for modifications and restocking to convert the military 'Greek Contract' MS to suit one's taste as a 'sporter'.

I suppose we'll excuse him for referring the Greek, in its original form, as an "ugly duckling" and for advocating removal of the stripper clip feed slots.

These military arms have come into their own as collectibles over the five decades since the article was written in 1967. While this may give pause to some about the idea of 'sporterizing' well preserved originals, there are many well used examples showing various states of decay and abuse which just beg to be 'improved'.

Modifying a Greek Y1903, 1903/14, 1927, or 'System 1930' can be a way to own a budget Mannlicher Schönauer that may be modified, carried over rough terrain and conditions, and fired often without the stigma of having abused a fine, original, MS sporting arm.

Here 'tis, from the July, 1967 issue of Shooting Times:
