That is a good looking rifle Mike but then I like side panels, DSTs - too bad someone removed one, I have a least three in the same condition beats me why and last but not least butter-knife bolt handles. About the only thing I would do different is make the panels narrower. JMHO --- John

On the Mannlicher Schoenauer collectors site is a photo of an original Model 1903 with stock panels. You mean this rifle:  It seems to be a custom made (probably factory made) take down rifle with full lenght rib. In those rifles any uncommon details are, of course, possible. Those side panels are IMO more essential if the caliber would be bigger than 6,5x54 MS.

Mike my 1905 is apart, I will take a photo of the rear swivel and post it. It should be the same for yours.

Mike, Here is photo of the swivel from my 1905 M/S, it is the same as ones used on European shotguns. It will fit a 7/8 wide sling, I probably have several in my junk tray, you are welcome to 1 gratis, I will try to match it to the one in photo, just email or PM. Jim A.

James your a life saver. Yes I will gladly take one. That will be thefinishing touch. I picked this up at an auction with the broken stock. And I almost parted it out, but the bore is good so here we are. Another project rifle. Al Lind did not have a pattern for this at all. He used one of his patterns and bedded my front end to his pattern and then profiled it. So yes Al has a pattern now for these rifles. Next is the scope. I have two and I would bet that nont one of the two will fit or align up the claw mounts. So that will be the next phase. And yes thanks for the picture of the model with the side panels. They are weak in that area due to the thick action. The panels will help give some extra strength. And I will cut the panels down to match your fine example. Thanks you all for the time and help with saving this old Steyr from the boneyard. If you ever need a wonderful stock maker to work with on a project get in touch with Al Lind, you would need to look high and low to find a better qualified person to handle the work.
