Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Steyr 1903 Mannlicher carbine

What's the good, bad and ugly? I found one for sale. Asking price is 750. I'd rate it overall at 70% finish remaining. Open sights are there. Scope bases are there but no rings. Give me your collective knowledge, please. The more I read about them, the more I want it. I think it's a prewar, but I can't swear to it yet.

I believe it is the 17.7 " barrel . The stock goes all the way to end of barrel like a a ruger international. The floor plate turns sideways to remove magazine.

Edit: went back today and bought it . It's not perfect ,but a cool rifle.independent Gunsmith checked it for me and said it's a 6.5 caliber still.
