WWI Dated Austrian STEYR M95 Straight Pull MANNLICHER 8x56mm C&R CARBINE
World War I & II CAVALRY Carbine w/ BAYONET & SCABBARD
Here we present a C&R Austrian Steyr Model 95 Straight Pull Mannlicher Cavalry Carbine, made circa 1917 in Austria. In the 1880s, the bolt-action rifle was a very innovative firearm. One of the leaders in the design of these guns was a man named Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher. Mannlicher inverted a straight pull, bolt action rifle that fed from an internal box magazine. In 1885, Mannlicher combined his efforts with the Austrian Arms Factory company at Steyr and formed the Steyr Mannlicher group to produce a new rifle that fired black powder 8x50R cartridges, the Model 1888. The gun was a success with the Austrian Army, but in 1893 smokeless powder caught on and replaced black powder practically overnight. Thus, the Austrians needed another new gun, and that is when Mannlicher came out with the Model 95.
The Austrian Army issued the Model 95 Steyr and used it with effectiveness in World War I on no less that three fronts. While the army did not fare well during the great war, the soldiers said the Model 95 performed with great effectiveness. After the war, the Austro-Hungarian Empire went away, but the various countries that rose from the ashes, including Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, and Rumania all kept their inherited Model 95s around for decades.
The overall condition is fine. Excellent action. Bright and nicely rifled bore. The stock is in fine shape with less than expected handling/storage wear. Numbers match. “S” marked barrel. “17” dated. The bayonet is in good shape.
