I was in the service back then, and the German Gun Clubs (Army) did do some neat things, but I seriously doubt this provenence. All of these were regular listed calibers according to Shooters Bible and Steyr pamphlets, same applies for the later Steyr-Mannlicher. That 1 of a hundred line has been going around for years with the magnum model Mannlicher-Schoenauers, 257 Weatherby.338.300 Mag, even.458 Winchester.
MANNLICHER SCHOENAUER RIFLE SERIAL NUMBERS SERIAL NUMBER
Anybody have any knowledge, thoughts or ideas? Hi, I hate to throw water on your parade, but the.264 Winchester was a regular catalog item from Steyr in the late 50s and thru 1966 (Latest reference I have in Shooter's Bible) The serial number range for your rifle is right for a 1966 MCA model. It seems like they said that a gun club had them made for each of it's members. When I purchased it I was told that it was 1 of only 100 that were made in 264mag. To my knowledge it has never been fired and is as new. You have a good one – I would shoot it, but that is just me!Ībout 15 years ago I purchased a Mannicher-Schoenauer MCA in 264mag. Here is some information and page images out of a Shooter’s Bible: Here is basically the same information as above, at a different sight: ’ I hope all this helps – if you read it all you will come to your own conclusions concerning your rifle. I never got any answer out of the first one, and if you call the guy and get info, let me know – I still have questions. Here are some links for informational purposes. It goes with me to the range each time, if only for a few or ten rounds. Though I had a rocky start with this rifle due to a loose stock and shooting loads heavier than I was comfortable with, I have found this rifle to be a joy to shoot with the right ammunition. I don’t believe in collecting firearms to admire them, I don’t judge those that do, I believe in using the tool for it’s purpose, at least keeping the bore in use by punching holes in paper. The drawbacks are that I would never take it in the woods, or hunting at all I am sure, and I am MOST careful when I do take it to the range. I have not handled a prettier, perfect functioning, inherently accurate rifle, not to say they don’t exist. There was a gap in the production of Mannlicher- Schoenauer. Need to know more about a steyr-mannlicher rifle serial. These firearms were meticulously manufactured (hence their demise) by hand, and handle and shoot like it.
I have come to the conclusion that my rifle was made in 1966, the fore end cap is possibly ebony, and the white spacers in the PG cap and at the butt plate are possibly ivory. Over the course of two years, this forum and a gentleman over in Germany, I have collected all the information I think I can. It’s the sporter stocked, 22” barrel rifle. Jrr230 – Welcome from another M-S owner! I have a 1961 Model MCA in.30-06.
