While you're at it, here's something to ponder:

Reading through the 1939 Stoeger MS pages would give one the impression that the Take Down Model was available (to U.S. buyers of 1938 - 39) by special order as a $15 USD 'cost option' applied to any model then available - or at least it doesn't indicate that it couldn't be:

Takedown model extra........ $15.00

Stoeger did not list models in the same manner as Steyr, they listed them as 'Carbine', 'High Velocity Rifle', and 'Take Down Model'

The 6.5X54 (M1903), 9X56 (M1905), 8X56 (M1908) and 9.5X57 (M1910) were listed as 'Carbine', along with .30-'06 (M1924) and 7X57 offerings.

'High Velocity Rifle' listings also include .30-'06 and 7X57 with added 8X60, 9.3X62, and the elusive 10.75X68, all of which are now referred to by many collectors as 'M1925' (though Steyr apparently never did).

That said, the options list allows custom order of "stock specifications differing from standard", "Full stock in rifles which normally have half stock", "Extra long barrel", single or double set trigger or the Take Down option, so it was a veritable free for all.

So, as I'm trying to recall if I've ever seen an M1924 in the Steyr 'factory' Take Down Model, and I'm fairly certain I've never seen an 'M1925' takedown, were they made on models later than M1910?

I suspect that, in reality, Steyr Take Down Models were not made for the longer action M1924 and subsequent models and am sure they were not made after WW2.

Of the previous models, however, did Steyr build any Take Downs during the 1938 - 45 Anschluss? What is the most recent proof date of any Steyr built MS Take Down Model that can be verified?

Inquiring minds, and such... .
