Wow! And a presentation rifle as well.
Can you tell if the take down ring is just silver soldered or did it WR also thread it on to the front of the receiver?
Kynoch continued to make that ammunition until 1970, as did Kynamco more recently and Bertram make brass.
Lot of loading information on Nitro-Expess Forum in the Mannlicher section.

The ring has a notch cut out in it and abuts the threaded lug for the front stock screw and is just silver soldered in place.

What action is it built on ? Are the original threads removed from the action? So the barrel is fitted to the interrupted thread ring then fitted to action? I have never seen one before but I like it.

Built on the rotary action model 1910. The original threads are removed from the action. I believe the ring would be silver soldered to the action and then the barrel fit to it.

I have a WR martini in 300 Sherwood with that kind of takedown mechanism. I always wondered what kept that system from being more popular. It is super easy to use
