Mannlicher-Schoenauer in 9,3x64

[Vashper]

It is a Russian rifle MC-19, with its legend: they say that Leonid Brezhnev, a great lover of guns, saw a Mannlicher, and he liked this rifle so much, that he asked Tula designers to do the same. They did not duplicate completely, but made their design by combining the modified Mosin bolt, the Sauer type safer, and the Manlicher overall appearance and the rotor magazine. This rifle was issued in two calibers - 308 and 9,3х64.

That is interesting Vashper. Do you have anymore photos, maybe some close-ups of the action?

Or, may be, closer?

For those still interested....

An acquaintance of mine found and bought this....

It is an GK with the next to mine serial number!

So now, there are at least two 9,3x64 Mannlicher-Schoenauer we know.

A MCA and a GK

For the still interested 9,3x64 Brenneke aficionados.....

We found the third confirmed 9,3x64 Mannlicher-Schoenauer in South Africa.

The serial numbers of the three rifles are close together.

There are rumors for a fourth in USA....
