Good day. I stumbled into a 1901 steyr mannlicher and am curious about it. The bolt, receiver, and trigger guard are all marked B3501. The barrel is 6.5 mm, but I am not sure if it is 6.5 x 54mm MS or not. It is marked steyr 1901 on the left side of the receiver. The stock looks like it was a decently made walnut sporter from 100 years ago. It is stamped Proof on the left side of the barrel, and there is a crown on the receiver on the right side. There is a three leaf rear sight and a hooded bead front sight. What do I have?
