I Would Definitely Put one of those Actions To Use And Build an Awesome Sporting Rifle Out Of it 😮😮😮😀😊You Have Quite an Amazing Collection I’m Really Glad I Found Your Channel 👍🏼
I'm always looking for "Vintage" Steyr Mannlicher Model SL Actions, preferably in 222 Remington. They're amazing are getting much harder to find everyday....
Just in case: I visited Turnbull in Canandaigua,NY to have them restore my 1956 Mannlicher. They told me to go to NECG(New England Custom Gun) in Claremont, NH for parts and restoration for the old German firearms. But I figure you most likely know this already.
You are correct (I have an M1910 Takedown). The early MS models corresponded to the proprietary MS cartridge for which they were chambered. M1900 and the Y1903 'Greek' were 6.5X54, followed by the Steyr built commercial models of: M1903 - 6.5X54 M1905 - 9X56 M1908 - 8X56 M1910 - 9.5X57, known to the Brits as .375 Nitro Express Rimless (.375 RNE). The M1924 had a longer action to accomodate .30 - '06 for the U.S. trade. They didn't sell well and many were rechambered to various calibers. Production continued, in various chamberings as what Stoeger called the 'High Velocity', which collectors oft refer to as the 'M1925'.
There's nothing smoother. A fully open bolt of a 'prewar' MS will slide closed and lock itself completely by merely tilting the muzzle down about 40 degrees. The Schoenauer magazine disassembles without tools (for cleaning) and operates flawlessly.
Try Numrich / Gun Parts Corporation. Gun shows seem to have everything but it takes time and a few visits to find. Best of luck to you - a very worthwhile project.
Greatest rifles ever made. Two Mann Sch. Rifles of 9.5× 57 mm excellent condition. One is for long range shooting rapid fire with aiming mechanism for fast aim through peep hole. One a carbine with full wooden. I will post the video.
The M1908 would be commercial as would any with M1903, M1905, M1908, M1910, or M1924 on top of the front bridge. If marked Y1903, Y- anything else, and / or a Greek military crest, they're military. All unaltered military actions will be chambered for 6.5X54, the pre - WW2 Steyr built sporting arms had corresponding MS proprietary cartridges prior to the M1924, thus: M1903 - 6.5 X54 M1905 - 9X56 M1908 - 8X56 M1910 - 9,5X57 (.375 Nitro Express Rimless) M1924 were .30 -'06, later rifles and carbines were of various chamberings.
It's such an underrated action Rick and sadly, becoming more and more unknown. I've seen sporters built on the MS action in the field in Austria that were absolute gems and hunting every year for over a hundred years. These rifles almost never fail.
Steyr rifles❤ Them and mausers are to die for 🤔😳🥰
Those Savages - fantastic
One of my all time favorite rifles! Maybe a review on this one as well could be interesting, they are very scarce in my country.
Hi Alexis - I will as soon as I have one complete. Thanks for writing.
Ok. Thank you for posting interesting videos.

9,5x57 is a good one also, think it was m1910 it was made in. But the 6,5x54 is very good.
Thanks for reminding me!

9.5 was very powerful- for big game hunting. Today's sniper rifles are like that.
love the mag design

My personal all-time favorite rifle is the 1952 MS Carbine. For me, there will never be another rifle to surpass its elegance.
That is undoubtedly a gem. So smooth, reliable and as you write - elegant. Thanks for noticing the screwdriver - not many people do.
excellent !
Yes
I have a 1903 styr I'm trying to restore I need a barrel bushing I have a monte Carlo stock but would rather have the original where can I find parts?

Thank you Jaspal!
The M1910.
I have a cased M1910 Take Down Model with claw mounted Gerard B scope that my grandfather bought in Ceylon, 1930.
those were military or civilian versions?
Military and civilian. All fine actions.
The M1908 would be commercial as would any with M1903, M1905, M1908, M1910, or M1924 on top of the front bridge.
