General Specs: Steyr Mannlicher, c1958, .270WIN, 7lbs. 14oz., LOP 13 15/16″
Serial Number: 29742
Here we have a pristine Mannlicher Schoenauer Model 1956 MC Carbine in .270 Winchester caliber built about 1958 in the rarely found Premier Grade, factory engraved with 3 deeply carved game animals (Elk on the floor plate, antelope on trigger guard, and deer on action ring), profuse and deeply cut oak leaf motif on action and bolt handle, and fine English type scroll and fancy borders rounding out the décor. THE RIFLE REMAINS IN 99% FACTORY ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH NO FIELD MARKS OR SIGNS OF USE, UNALTERED SINCE LEAVING THE FACTORY. The 20” carbine length barrel has a perfect 10 out of 10 bore, is mounted with a ramped/hooded front sight and a 2 leaf rear folding sight regulated to 300 yards. The action is mounted with a Paul Jaeger quick-detachable scope mount with 1” rings that allows the removal and replacement of the scope without loosing zero. This is a great asset on a hunting rifle and is period to the rifle in every way. The famous Mannlicher rotary magazine holds 5 rounds and is quickly emptied with the push of a button. The bottom plate rotates for magazine removal. The trigger is crisp and breaks just over 3.2 pounds pull, the screws are perfect, and the bolt cycles smooth as butter. The bolt safety and side safety both function as designed. The wood has the original factory finish with only a few very light handling marks. It does not appear that this rifle received any real use the last 66 years of existence. The checkering is sharp as new and the butt terminates in the factory mounted ½” thick pad. The Mannlicher Schoenauer rifles are very sought after and the Premier is the very top of the line factory engraved offering that will only go up in value as you enjoy it use. Find a period scope of your choosing and you will have a historic and beautifully crafted rifle in America’s most respected cartridge, the .270 Winchester, capable of any North American game animals. You won’t find anything like this for sale in today’s market and we have priced the gun to sell, so please call if you want to own this one! Thanks for looking.
