1903 Mannlicher Schonauer 1903 w/ adj cheekpiece
10/10/07 05:56 AM

Greetings all,
first post here,been lurking and enjoying for a bit and thought I would jump in.Mostly a shotgun collector but do "dabble" in other areas and like fine rifles.
I picked this up about a month ago and have done some reasearch but still interested in seeing if anyone else has a adjustable cheekpiece like this one.
A bit of what I know about the gun;
Its a 1903,born 1905 and probably shipped as a barreled action to a "Van Hafner" in Kessel Germany for custom work,stocking and engraving.Has a Krupp barrel with Van Hafner (retailer or custom smith?) Kessel.Has both German and Austrain proofs.The adjustabel cheekpiece,which usually is a detraction for me but I like this one,is operated by the switch on the bottom of stock, which has "G.M. 54" (perhaps Gebruder Merkel?),the fit and finish on the cheekpiece is very well done and the area that slides against the stock is lined by formed horn held in place by brass screws that are all aligned as well.
Has anyone every seen or own "G.M.54" cheekpiece rifle?
Also would be interested in any other info on Van Hefner if known.
Many thanks,
Dave (nhdblfan)
