Where to find the collectors...

[RobertLosekamp]

I'll be attempting to sell my 1952 Mannlicher-Schoenauer stutzen soon, however I'm not sure where the collectors of such things hang out. There are a few forums I know I'll post (SH, guns international, firearms forum, etc.) but I don't know if I'll get the listing in front of a collectors eyes. Anyone have any leads? Photo for attention, she's a beauty. Thanks in advance.

Rock island auction?

Robert, some might take this post as a thinly veiled opportunity to showcase this rifle for sale here, bypassing the selling requirements of the classifieds. Of course, if any members were to pm you and facilitate that transaction, they too would also be associated with the same penalty.

Beautiful rifle, hope you find the information to help it find a great home.

Hadn't thought of that! Added to the list thank you.

That's certainly not my intention, if it was I sure wouldn't have attached my real name to my account! If it helps alleviate concerns of the moderation team I'd be happy to remove the photo to discourage private messages and/or pass along the names of users attempting to skirt the rules. Thanks for not immediately deleting the post I do appreciate it.

Gunbroker is going to get you the best value on something like that.

+1 on GB being your best bet. A little unsolicited advice, Take lots of pictures- outside, on a white table/background with nothing but the rifle in them. While you may love your bear rug/dog/quilt mee maw made you, they all will distract from the only thing you need people to look at. Beautiful rifle good luck!

I agree, Gunbroker is likely to get you the best price. Beautiful rifle. It’s funny, as a youngster I used to think the Mannlicher stock was butt ugly, but somewhere over the last 60 years I came to absolutely admire them and find them amongst the most attractive firearms.

Got it listed over there. We'll see what happens, I'll be sad to see it go but sometimes the right thing is the hard thing.

I'm the same way JFK, always thought they looked goofy but man the shape is so nice to have in your hands. The way it tapers all the way down the the barrel band is *chefs kiss*, and it points like a really well made trap gun. It's an amazing design, truly.
