Mannlicher Schoenauer Rifle Serial Numbers

Private Message. Junior Member. 6.5x54 Mannlicher-Schoenauer 1903 date code A little help please confirming some information. Santa gave me a gunsmith screwdriver set and it emboldened me to pop open my 1903 MS. Mannlicher-Carcano; Mannlicher-Schoenauer. The chamber and buttstock. No serial numbers are stamped on the other parts of the rifle.

Hello, New member here trying to ID my Mannlicher-Schoenauer. I inheritied the rifle, never fired it. It is absolutely beautiful. I am trying to determine a rough manufacture date and verify caliber. Information; Bottom of magazine plate marked GERMANY. Left side of rifle has following markings; 86892 (I assume SN). It again has 86892 7,6S (I picked up somewhere 7,6S is metric for.30-06).

Other markings US 1906. Then what I assume is a standard manufacture marking Waffenfabrik Mauser Oberndorf A/N. With the exception of various proof markings there is not much else.

Any additional information you can provide or confirm would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any assistance. I realize you think you've supplied enough information, but you haven't - remember that you have the M-S in your hands, while everyone else is blind. That's presuming it's actually a Mannlicher-Schoenauer, and not a later Steyer-Mannlicher, with the outside of the barrel's spiraled ridges, i.e. The M-S was chambered in 5 different models of half-stock/long barreled rifles and/or full-stock/short barreled carbines - and so could be a High Velocity Sporting Rifle, a Model 24 Carbine, a Model 1950 rifle, a Model 1950 Carbine,a Model 1952 rifle or carbine, a Model 1956 rifle or carbine, or a Model 1960 rifle or carbine.

Pictures would be a big help, as would a description of barrel length & type, stock type, sights, etc.

All, Here is some additional information and hopefully successfully posted pictures. The overall length is 40 4/16', Barrel is 19'. Two folding rear sight plates front and back of a stationary one (consecutively marked 100/200/300) each with last three digits of SN. Action stamped Waffenfabrik Mauser-Oberndorf A/N. Forward of that is US 1906 and SN 86892 below with BU proof mark. Forward of that is SN again followed by marking of 7,6S. Double set trigger.

Trigger guard push button floor plate release. Floor plate marked GERMANY. Butterknife handle with last 4 digits of SN and BU proof marks. Other small parts marked with last 2 digits of SN.

Butt plate marked MAUSER with small detailed scroll work above and below name. Mauser mark is on hinged door that opens to two round storage holes. One larger than other. Still has brass wire pull cleaning brush with string. Looking for any additional information that can be provided; Caliber, manufacture date, value.

Posted info in pictures in case attachments doesnt work. Again, thanks in advance for any help. A picture is truely worth a thousand words - Thank you. You do not have a Mannlicher-Schoenauer Carbine, which have an internal, detachable spool magazine and the bolt handle ahead of a split rear receiver ring when in battery. What it appears you DO have is a pristine, and much more valuable by far, Oberndorf Mauser 98 Commercial Sporting Carbine, Type M, that although made from 1898 to 1946, was produced between 1914 and 1946 because the Modell M was introduced in 1914.

Any alteration, or damage to what I see pictured, can easily change a $4K +/- collector's item into a $400 shooter. It is a very fine, Oberndorf commercial Sporting Rifle, in Carbine form, and the 'Type M' just means that the model has a mannlicher, or full-length, stock - copied from the M-S - as opposed to a sporting half-stock. Many custom gunsmiths copy the fullstock design, and some modern factories like Ruger do, also. When most people refer to these non-Mannlicher-Schoenauers, they call them 'mannlichers' instead of the more proper 'mannlicher-style', which can cause some confusion abong those not familiar with the genre.

Only the Mauser factory would number the barrel to match the action like that, and the hand-matted front receiver ring is a joy to behold. It it a wonderful example of Old World craftmanship. Thank you for posting the pics. BTW - It should have a 20' bbl. It's common to measure barrel length incorrectly. It should be measured internally, via dropping a cleaning ron downbore so that the end rests against the face of the closed/cocked bolt. The rod can be marked at the muzzle, then withdrawn and the resultant length measured.
