I recently picked up a nice 1894 Swedish Mauser
I like the style and military history
I am not knowledgeable of other military mannlichers similar to the 1894 Swede
Is there a web site detailing these rifles or posting photos?

In reference to the Mannlicher rifle action, the rifles I am interested are like the Swedish 1894 Calvary rifle. 37 1/2 inches in length with forearm wood full length to front sight
Thanks
Other military Mannlicher style rifles; 1893/95 Spanish Cavalry/Engineers carbine, 1909 Argentine Cavalry/Engineers Carbine.
Others that have been falsely accused are Mountain Carbines/Rifles which have the short barrel but the stock has a bayonet lug like a standard rifle.
An excellent reference source for military mausers is;
Robert Ball's "Military Mausers of the World" , it's about $40-$50 bucks @ Barnes & Noble. Good luck !
A standard M24/47 short rifle,
A 1909 Argentine Cavalry Carbine
and a cut down 1893 Spanish long rifle (Bubba'd)

Tul, Here is a partial list of rifles that I would consider to be of Mannlicher design (action type) (I'm sure this will be questioned as well):
M93 Romanian
M95 Dutch Mannlichlicher
Greek Mannlicher
Mannlicher Schoenauer sporting rifles
35M Hungarian
43M Hungarian
G98/40
Portugese Vergueiro
Salt Flat
Add 1891 (et al) Mannlicher/Carcano.
Al
what about my 2 Steyr M95 and my Budapest Hungarian M95/34? they are mannlicher also but not listed here.
No need to fret about a list guys, just get this book and view the lot!
"Mannlicher Military Rifles" by Paul Scarlata. ISBN 1-931464-14-6.
The one I really, really fancy is the M.86. Just about the only black-powder clip-loaded magazine rifle. 11mm "Werndl" caliber. Most unfortunately, it was production-ready just as the French turned the rifle world upside down with the "small-bore" smokeless powder Lebel. Talk about instant obsolescence!
Me, too. So much so that I hoarded a bit of ammo and clips.Quote:
