The head of the screw that holds the front sling swivel (and barrel) in place. It was a screaming deal, too - I think I paid something like $175 for it. Oddly, none of that stuff ever shows up for sale

Stuff that I've had on my want list for it for years: Good ideas on how to repair this damage appreciated. The screw holes were filled with studs which were then filed smooth and possibly filled with brazing:

I suspect they had some sort of side mount peep sight or something (scope mount?) installed, removed it and then tried to undo the damage. The other issue is that somebody fsck'd the receiver over at some point. Apparently somebody used the wrong size screwdriver on it. There are only a couple of things wrong with it. They nicely wrote back that due to the unpleasantries a few decades back, their records had been destroyed (along with the factory), so they had pretty much bupkus to give me. A while back I wrote a letter to Steyr-Mannlicher asking about dating it. The serial number is just under 16000, which I believe puts it well pre-war. The sexiest thing on the rack and I had to have it. I saw it in the gun store back in the mid-80s. One classic Mannlicher-Schönauer M1903 carbine - double-set triggers, 6.5x54 Mannlicher-Schönauer, the 9 yards. It occurred to me today that I didn't have any decent pictures of my Mannlicher-Schönauer M1903 carbine so I could prove I own it to the insurance company if need be.
