Description:
Very Good Steyr 1908 in 7.65.   The 1908 Steyr Pieper is an extractorless blowback design with a drop barrel.  The recoil spring is mounted over the barrel, in the fashion of the FN Browning of 1900, and the guide rod for the spring has a hook on its rear which engages the reciprocating breech bolt when the barrel is latched down.  There is a release lever for the barrel on the left side of the gun.  A separate breech bolt receiver is mounted atop the rear of the frame and is secured by two transverse screws on the 7.65mm version, or by a single screw on the 6.35mm version.  The breech bolt moves freely in the receiver, but cannot be blown out of it to the rear.  As the breech bolt moves rearward, it cocks the hammer, and on the 7.65mm version the cocked hammer forces a small pin out the rear of the frame to serve as a cocked hammer indicator.  According to W.H.B. Smith, the extreme light weight of the reciprocating bolt gave the 1908 Steyr a relatively heavy recoil.
