Talk:Mannlicher Model 1905

It is worth noting that the available information is somewhat confusing. The M1905 was actually the M1901 designation for the Argentine army, so the Model 1901 would be a more correct name, it seems to me. Therefore, some sources refer to it as M1901/1905. The information of produce is also somewhat contradictory: about 10,000 were ordered for the Argentine army, while the M1901 was declared in 4,000 guns produced (i.e. at least 14,000 - 15,000 o' M1901/1905 were all produced). --Slon95 (talk) 08:27, 10 August 2019 (EDT)

Really? I mean, I get the suggestion to change the page's name, but I thought that the M1901 was the original, smaller version, and the M1905 was the larger variant (the one with the distinctive "bulge" towards the base of the grip); IIRC, the M1905 also held 10 rounds instead of 8 like the page claims. There's a C&Rsenal video about this, so I can check if need be. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 08:46, 10 August 2019 (EDT)

It seems that they were presented in compact and full-sized versions; 8 rounds, therefore, is the capacity of the compact variant. P.S. Yes, according to the Forgotten Weapons, the M1901 was a small version. --Slon95 (talk) 11:53, 10 August 2019 (EDT)
