Now it seems everybody misnames detachable box magazines, but we still know what they mean. GI's coming back from WWII started using the term "clip" to describe any magazine for any gun because of their familiarity with the 8 round enbloc "clip" used in the M1 Garand. There are lots of terms or names whose true meaning gets lost or perverted over time. Any history buffs out there that can confirm? If Sako was using the term back in the 50's, then there was obviously no trademark or copyright issues. Least that's a story I remember from back in the day. I don't think Mannlicher was a rifle maker or company of any kind.
Steyr mannlicher stock full#
Wasn't Mannlicher actually a Duke or Prince or some titled nobleman that liked the full stock rifle? Schoenauer or Steyr or whoever was making those rifles at the time named them after him as an honor or more probably as an marketing ploy. So, here is my question: Just like we don't call a paper towel a "Kleenex", should we call a long-barreled rifle with a full wood stock a "Mannlicher"? But Sako recorded both the carbines and the rifles as "Mannlicher". On the other hand, Sako "Mannlichers" came in both carbine and full length rifle barrels (20 inches and 23-24 inches). I don't think they ever made a full wood/full length barrel rifle, or did they? However, unless I am missing something, Mannlicher only made their full wood guns in carbine length barrels of 20 inches or less, while they made half-stock rifles with longer barrels.
Now, Steyr Mannlicher made not only full wood guns, but also half-stock rifles as well. You get the drift: Utilizing a proprietary name which has become a generic name for a particular product or style. That's sort of like Hewlett-Packard records using the term "Xerox" for their copiers, or a manufacturer of facial tissues listing them as "Kleenex" in their production log. Sako's full wood guns are recorded as "Mannlicher" in their records. You’d be surprised of how much one can find out about a person from just a username on a forum such ad our!
