Mannlicher Schoenauer Rifle Serial Numbers
Rifle #730 finished in 1926. By all means post photos when you can! Sometimes the board's upload software barfs when the image file is too large. You might try reducing the size of your photos (dimensions) and/or the resolution (both of which will reduce file size) and then trying again.
I have a very nice Mannlicher Schoenauer Puch Model 50 (I think) in 7x57 Mauser and a second M-S Model 52 (again, I'm not sure about the model) in.308 Winchester. The Model 50 has signed factory engraving, a bolt-mounted aperture sight, single trigger, and a very dark conventional- not full length and no Monte Carlo configuration- stock. The serial number on the gun is 9857 and the serial number on the scope is 6581. (This is an original M-S in 6.5x54 with the original Zeiss Zeilvier 4x scope in claw mounts. Once I got the gun apart I did not find the date code (or at least the date code in the form I expected to find it.). 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. Auction:13120934 LSB#: 140515DW05 Make: Mannlicher Schoenauer Imported by Steyr-Daimler Puch Model: 1952 Rifle Serial Number: 9018 Year of Manufacture: 1952 C.
If that fails, you may want to investigate a free image hosting service, and link your photos rather than uploading them to the board's server. In some cases, you may already have the ability to upload photos to a web space provided (free) by your ISP, and not even know it. Rifle #730 finished in 1926. By all means post photos when you can!

Thanks for the advice. I'm normally somewhat tech savvy but this has been a challenge.
I know its heresy to modify these if they are a true collector's piece, but I wanted a shooter and found a gun that was cosmetically so-so but otherwise sound. Its rigged with EAW mounts and a Leupold VX-3 1.5-5x20mm scope. Several whitetail taken so far.

Open the photo with Paint and on the tool bar, you will see a 'Resize' option. It's easy to use and with a little experimentation, you can decide how much you need to downsize the photo for posting. Hope this helps.

Hope this helps. Warmest regards, JPSJPS, note that the photo problem is from January of last year. By accident, I recently noticed that the forums now appear to resize photos for you.
A great, though not much ballyhooed improvement. Last edited by tplan; at 07:29 PM.

There is a reliable way to date a Mannlicher-Schoenauer, at least on the commercial versions. I do not know if the military versions have the same proof requirements, and this data ONLY applies to Austrian Mannlichers, not the Breda ones. On the underside of the chamber you will find a number series like this 122345.19 That is a proof number identifying the unit as the number 122345th unit through the Vienna Proof House in the year 1919. I have seen this numbering standard on every Pre WWII Mannlicher-Shcoenauer I have had the opportunity to study. Austria changed their proof markings after WWII, moving the proof data up to the side of the barrel and the receiver, just above the wood line, where the last two digits are the year of proof.

Jrr230 – Welcome from another M-S owner! I have a 1961 Model MCA in.30-06. It’s the sporter stocked, 22” barrel rifle. Over the course of two years, this forum and a gentleman over in Germany, I have collected all the information I think I can. 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. These firearms were meticulously manufactured (hence their demise) by hand, and handle and shoot like it. I have not handled a prettier, perfect functioning, inherently accurate rifle, not to say they don’t exist.
