I own a 1903 Mannlicher-Schoenauer made by Steyr in 1907. I have seen a few of these as a matter of fact there's a couple of these on auction at the time of this writing. My question is that these guns were produced with a double set trigger and a full lenth mannlicher stock. The gun that I own is a military version and doesn't have either the triggers or the full stock. The blue book doesn't have this gun in it, only the commercial version. Anyone have any idea if this gun is rare or where I can get some information on it. Of course I would also like to have an idea what it's worth. The gun's in great shape and shootable, thanks in advance.

  From your discription, your rifle is a Model 1903 Greek Army Rifle. There should be a crest with a Shield and Cross on the chamber, also a marking of "Y.1903".
  
  This particular Greek Army Rifle is not common, consider yourself fortunate if you have one in factory original, very good condition or better.
