Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Mannlicher Schoenauer rifles were very popular in Europe, and were mainly made in European calibers until after WWII when they began to be imported into the United States. The Model 1900 rifle continuously evolved until the last model was developed: the Model 1961 MCA. The Model 1961 MC came about from Stoeger’s urging in order to increase sales in the United States. A tall Monte Carlo comb (hence the MC designation, A for all purpose) with cheekpiece that was added to make the rifle a lot easier to use with a scope.
As you can see in the many high resolution photos, this Steyr is in Great over all condition for its age showing no evidence of excessive consumer use or handling that we can see!
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.

The Model 1900 rifle continuously evolved until the last model was developed: the Model 1961 MCA. The Model 1961 MC came about from Stoeger’s urging in order to increase sales in the United States. A tall Monte Carlo comb (hence the MC designation, A for all purpose) with cheekpiece that was added to make the rifle a lot easier to use with a scope.
The 1961-MCA was drilled and tapped for Redfield SR-MS scope bases. Otherwise, the1956 and 1961 models were identical. Even the change in the Model 1961-MCA safety was not immediate and early Model 1961-MCA rifles retained the old style safety. 1961-MCA Carbines were made until the production of all Mannlicher-Schönauer rifles was discontinued in 1971.
The Model 1961-MCA Carbine was initially chambered for a variety of cartridges, including .243 Winchester, 6.5x54mm M-S, 7x57 Mauser, .270 Winchester, .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield and .358 Winchester. The latter is probably the rarest caliber. By 1971 the caliber selection had been reduced to .270 and .30-06.
Barrel length was 20" in all calibers except 6.5x54, which was supplied with an 18-1/4" barrel. MCA Carbines had a removable side plate to accommodate Steyr or other side mounts for scopes. Open iron sights were provided. The external metal finish was a highly polished blue with the bolt left in the white. Approximate weight was 7-1/2 pounds.
