Deactivated Austro-Hungarian Steyr M95 carbine, 1915 dated, early spec
Designed by Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher in 1895 and manufactured at the Steyr works in Austria and Budapest, Hungary, this carbine equipped the Austro-Hungarian Army during WW1 and was still being used as a second-line weapon in WW2. Originally chambered for a 8 x 50mm round, between the wars it was re-chambered for a longer more powerful 56mm cartridge. The reworked rifles were marked with a 'S' or 'H' on the receiver, depending where it was done. Popular for its impressive rate of fire due to the revolutionary straight-pull bolt action rather than the usual rotating bolt, this carbine was a reliable and effective weapon. This example is in very good original condition with lovely hardwood stock and nicely blued steelwork, marked on the breech with the 'S', for a Steyr rework and a date of 1915, and Steyr M95 on the receiver. Matching serial numbers to breech, barrel, bolt and buttstock. An unusual axis-power carbine in lovely condition. Able to be cocked and dry-fired and fully stripped, it comes with a genuine period leather sling and an original charger loader, no rounds. Deactivated in the UK with proofhouse certificate of deactivation.
