1. Mannlicher Schoenauer 1903 6.5x54

I would appreciate any help on my Mannlicher 1903 rifle. I think at least to me there are special factory extras on this rifle. It has a popup tang sight and a rear sight with five folding leaf sights.

The serial # is 13*** I am trying to download a photo but keep. 6.5x54 Mannlicher-Schoenauer 1903 date code. Can someone clarify these numbers for me. I have a Mannlicher Schoenauer rifle. Serial # on bottom of receiver underneath the stock is 5690. # on trigger - Answered by a verified Firearms Expert.

The stock shows quite a bit of wear but no cracks. The stock and barrel have the same 4 diget serial number. The bore shows strong rifleing. If I have the stock refinished does the rifle lose value? If I decide to sell it what would the range of value be.

Link to the Mannlicher photos is included here Thanks for your help. I would not refinish the rifle.leave it alone just clean it up and do that carefully.what caliber is this one? If it is 6.5 x54mm then brass will have to either be fabricated or you will have to pay big bucks for it. Buying 6.5 x54mm loaded ammo is next to impossible in the US. Of course, it could be anyone of a dozen other chamberings. I have seen several rifles of this vintage and all had similar accessories.In addition to the flip up tang sight, there was a striker sight that was common.

Hi Booba I have a rifle that is very similar to yours although without as many extras. As far as I'm aware, it is the take-down version of the Model 1903 M-S rifle. Mine is in 6.5x54.

When I've worked out how to post pictures I'll show it to you. I can't tell from the photos but I assume the front sight on your rifle can be switched between a standard post and the ivory insert, which is intended for dim light or night shooting.

I don't have that feature on mine, or the multi-leaf express sights (just two), or the opening horn cap on the pistol grip. I do however have the retractable peep and the trap in the butt stock etc. I would think long and hard before I launched into a serious clean-up operation. If you decide to steam some of the dents and gouges from the stock you will have to completely refinish it. The steaming will raise the grain so the surrounding wood will have to be sanded back to get a smooth finish. If you decide to do that I'd just hand rub it with linseed oil.

This has to be done slowly using very small amounts of oil each time, and rubbed into the wood until it completely disappears. However, although very labour intensive, the end result is very attractive. A proper job would take months to complete. If you have a competent firearms restorer in your area it may be a good idea to discuss your options with him. If you do refinish the stock you will probably have to get the checkering re-cut (otherwise it will look odd). Don't attempt this yourself unless you really know what you're doing. Generally speaking its a job for a professional.

Although I understand the reservations expressed by some, I dont think these rifles are so rare that they shouldn't be restored and shot. The important thing is that any work is done properly! So, think about the options carefully before you take the plunge.
