This Mannlicher m1910 is for sale in local gun shop. They tell it's caliber is 6,5x54. At first I thought they have make a mistake but then I inspected more carefully it´s sights. The front one seems to be more rear than normaly and the rear sight looks quite much similar like british Enfield rifles have. What do you think ? Klick every photo to get it bigger.






Not much can be determined from the photos but that the receiver is clearly an M1910 which, as I'm sure you know, would have originally been chambered for 9.5X57 (.375 Nitro Express Rimless 2.25") and that it bears the Oesterr, Waffenfabr.- Ges. Steyr stamping that was changed in 1926. It is not stamped 'Made In Austria' on the bridge which dates the receiver no later than 1924.

Other than that all is guesswork without images of proofs and other stampings.

The rebated front sights are not uncommon, often seen on early examples.

The rear sight may have been added post - manufacture, perhaps along with a rebarrel to 6.5X54?

These sights are pictured in a 1935 Steyr catalog:
