I ordered this Austro-Hungarian Mannlicher M1888/90 from Royal Tiger Imports as a part of their Labor Day sale. A lot of these rifles were given to Italy as war repatriations following world war one and subsequently made their way down to Ethiopia. RTI has been importing military surplus firearms from there in the recent years.

It's a handsome looking stock! Definitely dried out and shrunk. Try a soak in raw linseed oil. Should start to swell the fibers of the wood back up a little.

@rakumprojects Год назад

I'll definitely give that a shot

@russellcraven251 Год назад

Looks like an interesting project.I'll be looking forward to seeing how it progresses.Thanks for sharing.

@MidwesternFC Год назад

Thanks for showing this. I'm always interested to see what other people receive.

@kaseyturchin4390 Год назад

Definitely happy with mine considering some of the ones I've seen go out. No major cracks, trigger works, and after about 5 hours of cleaning looks pretty good considering the age.

That Crack you note at 2:20, seems to be very common, I have seen like 4-5 of these rifles with a crack in the same area

Safety lever looks to be missing from back of bolt release

@rakumprojects Год назад

That's a good point, I noticed but forgot to mention it on the video

@deskguy839 Год назад

Just got mine this weekend, missing the rear barrel band and the safety, but my volley sight is still there. My gun looks like it spent 60 years in a barrel or motor oil, the stock is unbelievably dark, almost pitch black when I got it. But I guess the oil kept the barrel in good shape because my bore is looking sharp.

@rakumprojects Год назад

Sounds like you got one of the good ones then. I just cleaned the bore on mine... yikes. Video coming out soon

@danm7298 Год назад

always check the bore for ethiopian bore spiders i call them lol. I got one in my Bertier i ordered from them. It definitely looked like it wasnt native to the americas. I thought it was just a dead bug or some gunk at first then it slowly started to move!!

@rakumprojects Год назад

Sounds like RTI needs to fumigate their imports. They don't want to get fined for invasive species!

@danm7298 Год назад

@@rakumprojects lmao yeah really :) I think i did hear of one other person having a live bug in their rti gun but i cant remember. maybe im the only one.

@brettanderson6743 Год назад

I also got one of these during the sale. Very similar condition except mine has darker wood. Same shrunken wood and loose trigger guard. Yours is missing the safety. Not a functional issue however. A trick for reinserting the bolt is to use a coin to hold the cocking piece away from the bolt body. Good rifle for the price!

@rakumprojects Год назад

I'll have to keep that tip in mind. Anything to avoid getting pinched

@Wicked505 Год назад

Very nice unboxing . I jumped on that sale too. I’m pretty happy for 199$

@rakumprojects Год назад

How does yours look? Better or worse than mine? As a whole, this batch doesn't seem too bad, maybe a touch better than the $99 carcanos.

@Wicked505 Год назад

Mine looks great nice dark stock. I was missing the safety as well but I found one in numrich. Should be here in a day or two. I did have a nice size crack on the right side by the tang. Apparently that’s very common spot for it to crack but it should be easy enough to repair. Bore is good but dirty I still haven’t completely cleaned the bore but everything else is cleaned. I had a nice big dead spider and web in the magazine. Overall I’m pretty happy with it at the $200 price point, but if I had a motor for that I don’t think it would be worth it. I also ended up getting a Gras Calvary carbine on that Labor Day sale.

@Wicked505 Год назад

I’m glad you did a video on this because I been waiting for someone to post one, for that you get a subscribe. 😆

@FPS_Wingo Год назад

Very interesting to see it not have the safety but having the safety screw. Almost all the 1888/90’s I’ve seen from them are also missing the screw. I have an 1888/90 as well as another 1888/95 for the collection coming in a few days so only time will tell

@rakumprojects Год назад

I thought that was odd too, it just shows they purposely removed the safeties. Hope your Mannlichers are in good shape

@DDR-Soldaten Год назад

How long does it take for the rifles to come. I ordered 1 this year and I keep checking but it says pending, I even sent them a copy of my license and emailed them but nothing

@rakumprojects Год назад

I haven't had any experience but I've heard their customer service is hit or miss. Both my rifles from them took about 3 weeks to arrive.
