Description:
This USED Steyr M95 was manufactured in 1915 and is a straight-pull bolt action rifle designed by the Austrian engineer "Ferdinand Karl Adolf Josef Mannlicher" before the First World War. The M95 rifle (aka the Mannlicher M1895) served in vast number of wars/conflicts. Typical of a Mannlicher design, these rifles are fed via an en-bloc clip instead of a stripper clip. An en-bloc clip holds the rounds within the clip, and it is inserted into the rifle from the top in the same manner as a magazine. When the last round is fired, the clip drops free through a hole in the lower receiver. Initially, these rifles were chambered in 8X50mmR. This round was the Austro-Hungarian Empire's first step toward a smokeless powder round, as the powder used was considered "semi-smokeless". So when the M95 came out, they used true smokeless powder in the loading and achieved 2035 fps with a 244-grain round-nosed bullet. Some M95 rifles were later converted to 8×57 Mauser by the Germans for World War II. Shortly after the First World War, Austria and Hungary re-chambered the lion's share of their rifles in the same cartridge as used in the Steyr-Solothurn light machine gun (MG-30, q.v.): 8X56mmR. The loading of the 8x56R round was similar but used a 210-grain conical or Spitzer bullet. Keep in mind that they did two things: they made a more powerful round while shortening the barrel. 8x56mmR
