STEYR Hembrug 1911 .30-40 KRAG
Description: Guns Listing ID: 587360 HEMBRUG Dutch M95 Sporterized – 30-40 Krag - 19.5" Barrel – Open Sights This rifle comes to us as a consignment sale. We believe that it was originally a Dutch M95 (also known as a Dutch Mannlicher). We base that on the physical characteristics of the rifle and the “Hembrug 1911" stamp on the left side of the receiver. These rifles were used by the military forces of the Netherlands from 1895 until 1940. They were originally chambered for Dutch 6.5, which is now considered an obsolete caliber. Accordingly, many of these rifles were modified and chambered in a more readily available caliber. The owner of this rifle states that his has been re-chambered for 30-40 Krag. However, the barrel has no stamping so we can’t confirm that. One more note on original versus current configuration. These rifles were loaded from the top, through an open bolt and used a type of en-bloc clip to hold the rounds (think M1 Garand type of en-bloc clip). When empty, the clip would fall through a hole in the base of the magazine housing. Unless you have an en-bloc clip that holds 30-40 Krag, this would essentially be a single shot rifle. The barrel is approximately 19.5 inches and has no stamping on it. The pistol grip stock is likely not the original stock, even accounting for it being sporterized. A WFS ventilated recoil pad sits at the end of the buttstock. The rear sight is also not the original as this one sits further to the rear and the rearmost pin holding it in place covers the serial number on the receiver. The rear sight is adjustable and the front is fixed. The numbers that we’ve located on the rifle appear to match. Matching numbers are located on: receiver, bolt release, safety, bolt handle and trigger guard. The action of the bolt is silky smooth. The trigger has some takeup to a defined wall and then an easy break. The wood is in Very Good condition. The metal finish is also Very Good with no major defects. Overall, this is an interesting sporterized vintage rifle. At this price, it’s a small investment in a rifle with a lot of history. Purchase is for the rifle only. No other items or accessories are included in the sale. This is a consignment sale and, like all of our consignments, we have not test fired this rifle. We have performed our function checks and find no issues to report. As with all pre-owned firearm purchases, please review the photos carefully so that you are completely comfortable with the condition of the rifle.
