Custom Mannlicher Schoenauer Model 1910 Takedown Bolt Action Rifle with Kenyan Retailer Marking
https://live.amoskeagauction.com/m/lot-d...;current_page=0

Description:

serial #8374, 9.5x57 (375 RNE), 28'' barrel with an excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain 99% maker blue with some small blemishes and a few faint freckles scattered about, the barrel is marked ''SPECIALLY MADE FOR CHAS. A. HEYER & CO''. All original factory markings are crisp, interestingly the barrel and receiver are marked ''8374'' and the underside of the butter knife bolt handle is marked ''8375'' no doubt a mere factory error. The checkered walnut capped pistolgrip takedown stock is very good plus as lightly-refinished with some scattered light handling marks and the checkering worn mostly flat-top. The serrated horn buttplate is intact although it has begun to develop age cracks, the grip cap has a neat quick-release feature that reveals a tiny compartment underneath and the rifle is equipped with a single trigger. The takedown feature works as it should by pulling the front stock pin, removing the magazine and manipulating a small lever to the front of the triggerguard. The rifle is sighted with a small German silver blade front sight and four-leaf rear barrel sight with a fixed 100 meter shallow V-notch and the flip-up leaves graduating to 500 meters. A solid Mannlicher big bore made for the Chas A. Heyer Company of Nairobi, Kenya. (22B9721-4) {C&R} (2000/3000)
