This rifle is being offered to me. I do not know much about Mannlicher-Schoenauer rifles, but I have found a number of websites with some informaton. I had this one in hand and it appears to be unfired. The plastic you see in the first picture is the original packaging the scope came in.

Serial number appears to be 7593 or 1593, forgot to check it when I had it in hand. I do not think any of the pictures show it well, but I recall the buttplate being metal. Modelsim 10 license cracking test. Is this a Model 1925? Could you tell me the model, approximate year manufactured and value? Thanks in advance for comments and thoughts. Perhaps you've been to the below MS Website which I use for quick reference. It appears the MS rifle Model in your photos is indeed a 1924 Mannlicher sporting rifle.

The 8x60 cartridge was an a development of the interwar years between WWI and WWII and functionally obsolete by the late thirties though still available. It is now considered a 'rare' M/S chambering, allegedly offered only in the first year of Model 1924 production. The rifle in your photos is particularly intriguing in terms of the stock.

It is unlike any M/S factory sporting rifle stock I have seen, that pre or postwar vintage. It certainly appears an aftermarket addition and most likely postwar vintage.

A steel butt plate would be of the correct factory material. The net here is that even were it basically original, the obvious modifications unless restorable with the correct stock, would severely impinge on value. The Model 1924 rifle metal and period scope do look 'era'. The model itself relatively rare. If you're seriously considering acquisition, please don't rely on my valuation perspective which is essentially a ‘heads up’ aside. Here is a useful MS website: Above sub-site with two photos of a Model 1924. (Your metal apparently correct and corfirming stock definitely not!) Just my take Last edited by iskra; at 09:29 PM.

Reason: Revision of a Posthaste Post. I've just revised my post that I inadvertently fired off while still a WIP (Work in Progress); that rushing to switch screens to an overseas Skype call.

'New & Improved' info substituted in my above post. I wouldn't try to value your rifle. I simply lack the expertise.

But highest & best use would probably be to someone interested in a barreled action and/or looking for just such a scope. Still an uncommon find and even more uncommon situation. And just to also remark that the engraved floor plate surely doesn't look original or era correct, yet it likely fits postwar models and may have value. As it exists, it's neither fish nor fowl. Something of a target rifle stock configuration of a piece that is outdated for such purposes AND in an obsolete chambering.

The scope probably has value. I'd likely be doing as you are in trying to seek experts who can provide some opinions of value and perhaps good advice. If it's still in the offering stage, unless a bargain basement price, I'd likely walk away. In any case it would seem a very speculative investment.

My 'new & improved' take.
