Help, please! M-S M1952 scope mounts and Kahles H/4 x 60
28/12/20 04:20 PM

Hi all,

I recently bought a Mannlicher-Schönauer M1952 "Stalker" rifle. It was made in 1956 and I'm looking forward to shooting it next year.

However, it's fitted with a pre-WW2 Kahles H/4 x 60 scope with a crosshair reticule on (presumably) factory quick-detachable mounts and I was hoping someone could answer a few questions about them. Sadly, at the moment I cannot take photos, so I hope you will forgive my long-winded descriptions.

The forward mount pivots horizontally to the left and the bridge it attaches to is fitted to the front of the chamber. The pivot is a small stud on the left of the front mount.

The rear mount fits just above the bolt-release catch and has an oblong steel button which you push forward to allow the rear mount to be attached or removed. There are also small bolts/screws on either side of the stud that attaches to the rear mount of the rifle. I think these are for adjusting for windage.

There is also a number engraved on the underside of the forward mount under the scope - 5420 - which is not the same as the rifle's serial number.

Anyway, I'd be most grateful if someone would be able to answer the following questions:

Do you think the mounts were installed at the factory and, if so, does the number 5420 tell us anything?

Do the mounts have a brand or model name?

The Kahles scope can be adjusted for elevation only: the brass turret has a "1" and then a gap and then a "2", followed by a larger gap and then a "3". Does anyone know what the increments are for when I sight in the rifle?

Finally, the scope cannot be adjusted for windage; I assume this can be done using the rear mount. Is anyone able to advise me how to do it and how any adjustments would change the point of impact?

I'm sorry for the tedious explanations, but I'm hoping someone out there is able to help me! It's a lovely rifle and I'm keen to use it. Thank you all very much!
