Carbine is also fitted with spring loaded folding peep sight with two position aperture, which cams out of the way when bolt is operated, and is retained folded in stock by small detent. This was also a $12.00 extra cost, and special order accessory. Relatively plain European walnut steel capped pistol grip stock measures 14-1/2” over serrated steel buttplate with trap, which contains orig 4-pc brass and steel cleaning rod, and has space for two spare cartridges.

Bolt is slightly silvered from sliding in action runways. Buttplate retains nearly all of its blue, with some silvering at bump and on sharp edges. Stock retains nearly all of its orig varnish finish, grain slightly raised, with a number of light and medium handling marks. Checkering is very lightly worn, and with one small dent in forend checkering at bottom left. Bore is excellent, bright, sharp, and shiny throughout. Action is smooth and crisp. Carbine appears to have been carried a bit, but shot very little. As fine an example of this unusual Mannlicher variety as one could hope to find. 4-54006 (3,000-5,000) – Lot 2501
