Fantastic information! It definitely sounds like Charlie Morse was the man responsible for the work on the Mannlicher Schoenauer, especially with the roll stamp and rifle number. I had read about his role in designing the Remington Nylon 66 but not his involvement in commercializing the .22-250 or any other biographical information. Thanks!
From today's perspective it seems odd to me that an engineer like Morse could be employed by a big company like Remington and still be allowed to operate his own gunsmithing shop on the side. Nowadays, most corporations tie up their technical staff so tight they can't fart without a non-disclosure agreement and assigning patent rights to the company, much less engage in a related side business.
