Mannlicher 6.5x 54 M-S - info on it appreciated
05/12/11 10:34 PM

This Mannlicher rifle in 6.5x54 M-S was advertised for sale online about a year ago. Tried to buy it but it had already been "sold", so ended up buying a Steyr instead. Will post another thread on that one soon.

Then while travelling up to the Top End last year, in Alice Springs, checked my mobile for messages and the gun shop had left a message the earlier sale had fallen through. A deposit had never been paid. So I bought it.

I am interested in what members can tell me about it. And whether it is worth restoring to make it into a sporting rifle of a standard of the usual M-S sporting rifles?

Is it an ex-military rifle? Or ?

Any other information would be appreciated.

The current stock is not too bad if it was originally ex-mil but redone. But the inletting etc is pretty sloppy with gaps etc. The safety does not even turn. The trigger is very basic. The bore isn't too bad.

Thanks to DarwinMauser for originally spotting it for me. I know he wanted photos a year ago!
