05:16 - The longer 'action' Mannlicher Schoenauer was introduced well before 1950 with the M1924 model (chambered for .30-'06) and continued with what Stoeger (importer to the U.S.) called 'High Velocity'; referred to by modern collectors as 'M1925'. The Mannlicher Schoenauer was introduced as Model M1900 at the 1900 Paris World's Fair (Exposition Universelle) chambered for the new proprietary 6.5X54 MS cartridge. Small batches were produced in military and in sporting form by Oesterreische Waffenfabriken Gesselschaft Steyr during the early 1900s with some of the military arms having been 'sporterized' by well known British gunmakers. A contract was eventually negotiated with Greece for substantial purchases of a military version based on 1903 revisions, hence named Y1903. Production of the Y1903 commenced in 1905. Also in 1905 Steyr introduced the M1903 and M1905 sporting models; the '05 being chambered for a new 9X56 MS cartridge. Original Mannlicher Schoenauer - Proprietary chamberings: 6.5X54 MS - M1900, M1903, Y1900 and all successive 'Greek Contract' variants 9X56 MS - M1905 8X56 MS - M1908 9.5X57 MS - M1910 Longer 'action' introduced: M1924 - .30-'06 only. 'M1925' - 7X57, 7X64, 8X60, 9.3X62, 10.75X68 ('special order' chamberings have been observed). Magnum model introduced, 1958: Initial chamberings of 6.5X68, 8X68S, .458 Winchester Magnum. By 1961 .257 Weatherby Magnum, .264 Winchester Magnum, .338 Winchester Magnum had been added. The M1924 were originally an order of about 1,000* rifles for Sequoia Importing Co., all chambered for 'the U.S. Cartridge of 1906' and stamped SEQUOIA on barrel just fore of the receiver. Many went unsold and were reconfigured at Steyr to chamberings more popular in Europe with the new 'Kaliber' stamped over prior 'M1924'. Production of military rifles and carbines for Greece continued with contracts of 1914 (Y1903/14), 1927 (Y1903/14/27 'Breda') and 1930 (System 1930), all chambered for the original MS cartridge of 6.5X54. Pre WW2 and 'Anschluss' era MS sporting arms were available as full stocked carbine (stutzen), half stocked rifle, and take down versions; all available with single or double trigger. Pre WW2 MS stocks had trap door steel butt plates with storage for cleaning rods and two spare cartridges. 'Postwar' MS were still available (through 1972) as stutzen or half stocked rifle, single or double trigger, but gone were take down model and trap door buttplate / storage. Post WW2 production began with the M1950, initially available only in .270 Winchester with 6.5X54 added (resumed) soon afterward. By the time Model M1952 was introduced, with swept back bolt handle, chamberings available were 6.5X54 MS, .270 Winchester, .257 Roberts, 7mm, '30-'06, .308 Winchester, 9.3X62. Other chamberings were added during the 1950s - 1960s. The only MS proprietary chambering used after WW2 was the 6.5X54. Production of rifles / carbines chambered for 9X56 (M1905), 8X56 (M1908), 9.5X57 (M1910) was not resumed postwar.

Very Fine little Carbines the Mannlicher Schoenaur's..... I love my Model 1903 and 1908, and I still use to this day.
