Look guys, this is all very well, the Dutch or Romanian Steyr-Mannlicher makes up
into a marvellous 'vintage' sporter, but it was NOT used by WDM Bell!

He used a Mannlicher Schoenauer!

Along with Steffanson, Lyell, Pease, Percival, Fynch-Hatton, Andrews, Selous, Stigand,
Vanderbyl, etc, etc, etc....

DarylS's earlier post has finally got me off my butt to find the magazine article
with colour pictures of Bell's 6.5mm Mannlicher Schoenauer. Alas, the magazines are
boxed-up since our move almost 2 years ago, but I did find a B&W photocopy.
The quality is poor, apologies, but it does show the 1903 carbine clearly, complete with
cocking-piece peep-sight, Bell's Nairobi phone number stamped into the butt-trap (No. 714),
and the proud owner at the time Mr Mike Hill.

The article was called "The Mannlicher Schoenauer: Evolution of a Sporting Rifle" by Don Henry,
Australian Shooters Journal (2-part series) Part 2 December 1991.

It sure took some finding! I reckon you all owe me a beer!
