We have a model 1900 Styer Dutch Mannlicher (sp?) Cowboy Carbine, 6.5x54R caliber. It is in excellent condition and we were wanting to fire it. However, we have looked high and low for ammo. We have looked for brass so that we could load our own, but have not been able to find anything. Does anyone here know of where we could find this type of ammo. Thanks for the help!

I think Norma makes it. You won't find Norma ammo in every corner store, but a gun shop could order it for you.
Norma ammo and components aren't cheap, but Norma brass is outstanding quality.

Buffalo Arms. It's also called the 6.5x53R.
