Like sharps4590 I'm looking at a Mannlicher-Schoenauer 1908 carbine. (?) It doesn't look like it's been re-barreled or rechambered, but see below. It is sporting a Voightlander & Sohn scope with see through bases. However, I do have a few questions re this piece:
1. Is there any source for brass for the 8X56 cartridge?
2. While it has a full-length stock, the barrel is 23" long instead of the standard 19". Is this kosher?
3. It is in very good to excellent shape with sharp points on the checkering, 95-98% blue and a great bore. What would be a fair price for this? I think the asking price of $2700 is a little much, but...
Thanks in advance!
