The Steyr M.95 or Mannlicher M1895 is a very unique rifle but it can be frustrating if you are just getting into collecting them! The late 1800's saw a number of advances in firearms technology. One of the most unique rifles was the straight pull, bolt action, Mannlicher M95. Many M95's would later be converted to the new 8x56mmR. Some countries had differences in their various conversions. There is so much to learn. In this video I cover some of the things to keep in mind if or when you start your M95 collection. Some of these things were a bit frustrating or annoying when I first started looking into them. If you can get over the little quirks, this Astro-Hungarian rifle is a very nice addition to any military surplus collection.
For a great amount of knowledge, join the "Steyr m95 Owners Group" on Facebook. Also check out some books or do thorough research online.
Update: This rifle is still venerated in Bulgaria. A small correction: the markings on the rear sight are actually Schritten (steps), not meters. One step equals 0.75 m, meaning shortest aiming distance is actually 225 m
(0.75 × 300)

@@tacticalsip2140 it sounds like your rifle is S marked on the chamber and import marked on the barrel 8x56r. That indicates it was upgraded from the 8x50r to 8x56r and Spitzer so the 8x56 R and RS should work fine.

At one time I had 5 of the converted carbines 1 true carbine 1 full-size and one 95/34 in 8mm. It was kind of a big rabbit hole with no end. Even among versions there is little differences like on the converted carbines most had a straight piling hook but some the hook is off set just a little and that’s the only difference .

@OldManMontgomery 3 месяца назад

Making jokes about Mannlicher is what I heard as a second grader. I thought it was dumb then. I am convinced this is proof that some folks start out slow. And then stop. I have three. Two of them seem to Stutzen (the shortened one anyway), both in 8x56mmR. The third is a rifle (longer) I suspect to be in 8x50mmR. It seems to have something stuck in the chamber and I've been distracted about figuring it out. Of the two Stutzens one is proudly marked 'Steyr' over the chamber and the other is marked 'Budapest' (the spelling may be different, I'm going off memory at the moment.) My general impression is Von Mannlicher was a genius in design. (The M95 seems to be the springboard for the Swiss straight pull rifle and the Ross rifle, including some of the basic concepts.) The other impression is that I would NOT like to shoot that 8x56mmR round (in the official loading) very much at a time. The recoil seems to be collective.

@TheGearhead222 Год назад

Had to accraglass several of my M1895 carbines, as the inletting was poor and the wood had shrunk over the years. Since my stuzten never had the rear sight modified for the shorter barrel, I had to have a little MIG weld added to the front sight and then file down as needed at the range. She shoots great now at 100 yards using milsurp 8x56R. My Schmidt Rubin K-31 carbine and M1911 are still MUCH more accurate at 100 yards shooting the stock Swiss GP-11 7.5 ammo.

He said, “But it’s a real nazi used gun just look at the markings.” I brought up several articles and even places online where you could buy fake Waffenamnts. He looked like I deflated his tires and stole his kid. I told him I would offer $50 more because it was an interesting piece of collecting history but not WWII history.

Many years ago my grandpa bought an M95 because he thought it looked cool and he hung it over the fireplace. When they moved he hung it over the new fireplace and that was where it was as long as I could remember. My dad said he always remembered it being over both fireplaces too. I recently acquired it because grandpa passed in the 90's and I have a safe, my parents don't. I've been trying to figure out more info about it. The only markings I can see are Styer M.95 on the receiver, there is no S or H marking in front where you showed the S. The sight meter marks are only in the left, I found a couple K marks in various places. Serial number is on the left, reads 9310Q. My best guess is I have an original 8x50 not converted, not cut to carbine. Is there any way to tell if it is 8x50 or 8x56?

So I did my best to right a wrong and now just needs a handguard and sling band and it will be the first gun I've un sporterized/restore to former glory. By the way if anyone knows where I can find stuff like original stock dimensions including hand garde dimensions/modelfor this thing. I would be most grateful.

@BattlefieldCurator 2 года назад

Good luck! Milsurp restoration isn’t easy but it is very satisfying!

@brendanliamgill99 2 года назад

@@BattlefieldCurator especially when the gun is a small batch compared to the m1 garand or lee Enfield or even the lebel. But yes satisfying nonetheless

@Butterybiscutbase 2 года назад

From my understanding I believe the handguard is just an M1924 mauser handguard, as well as the rear sight and barrel. They just retained the action.

So then i guess im looking for one chambered in 8mm Mauser huh? What model is that one? Any model M95 that shoots something thats still on the, market these days would be very helpful?Please HELP? lol

@BattlefieldCurator 9 месяцев назад

This one is 8x56mmR so it was converted at some time from the older 8x50mmR. You can find 8x56mmR online but they are rarely found in gun shops.

@globalmilitarycollections4591 2 года назад

Do you think these rifles can be re-barreled to 7.62x54r

@BattlefieldCurator 2 года назад

That would be interesting. I know the Germans had some for 8mm Mauser. You’d have to talk with a gunsmith and then it would probably cost a lot!

@globalmilitarycollections4591 2 года назад

@@BattlefieldCurator yeah, I’minterested in gunsmithing and I know the bolt would lock with 7.62x54r but I’m not sure if the pressure is greater than an 8x56r. If the new round has more pressure than the bolt would probably explode. But yeah I think if you had the money it should be relatively easy to get a new barrel made and may a gunsmith to install it.

@matthewblack1981 3 месяца назад

There's only m95 in 8x50, m95/24 in 8 mm mauser and m95/30 in 8x56. Bulgaria just bought them from everyone they never rechambered them. Only Austria and Hungry converted them a big S for steyr and H for hungry.

@michaelw.urbansr.8617 9 месяцев назад

Well if the rifle is listed for sale ,chambered in 8x50R then where do you go for ammunition? I think these rifles are some of the coolist looking battle rifle i have ever seen? Granted its over 100yrs old and if your lucky enough to get a barrel thatr will at least hit a 10" plate at 100yrds ,anyway, I fear they are going ot just end up as wall hangers, conversation peieces......which i hate! I tell everyone i deal with for Mil-surps and other older guns, that im looking for shooters. I dont care about how pretty it looks although, that is a plus if they were well kept! I can always restock any rifle as most if not "all" old guns have some kind of after market, mil-surp partss,stocks and ammo, at times. My grandfather took two mausers during the war. One was a fully marked Nazi k98k and my cuzzin got that as i wanted the VZ24 my Pop-Pop took off ,what he thought was a conscript solder that has a rifle that had been re-stocked just before the war. Although its one of the rifles that were produced in the 1st year the VZ24 came out in 1926. Most likely its an 8mm Mauser but idk 100% for sure. So some how i have to measure the chamber to be sure it is, 8mm Mauser before ican ever shoot it? Which sux. My others so far in my collection are a No4Mk1 Enfield built in 1943 byCanada by Savage basically. I also have a Nicer then normal Carcano ,strait out of Italy, as i want a 6 rifle collection of WWII Axis/Allied rifles. So far they are the only three i have. I still need an Arisaka, and then the two most costly after that in the Mosan and M1 Garand! :>/ But man do i want a Garand! LOL Cant really make my mind up on buying one of the many floating around the open market or go, threw the CMP program yet? Since im almost 60yrs old i better do it soon!?! LOL I really want more of ,examples of what was used ,during WWII rather then historically correct ones. Because when it boils down to it, i want shooters! I want to get into target shooting and long range as well so.... There are a few other WWII rifles id like but i told my wife i would stick with 6 rifles for this "small" collection. Since 1/2 my rifles she dosnt even know about, i can expand on the collection over time! LOL I just need to flee my blue state for a Red so i can freely use my tools to enjoy my hobby! A state that i can go out in my back yard and shoot at targets, without worry. A place that is still free! Not like my state of N.J. where have ot drive at least 45min to find a public ,free range, or pay at some 15yrd indoor range for an hour of shooting. Its one of the reasons i have a number of rifles and uppers i have not even fired yet, because i refuse to shoot a rifle across the room at an indoor pistol range! :>/ I would have ot own at least 100acres here if i wanted to be able to shoot at targets on my own land! Its quite sad when i think ,that this is America today! :>(

Castos Curios has 8x50mmR for those old M.95’s. I haven’t tried them but they’re really the only source I know currently to find that ammo. If I were in your shoes, I would plan a trip to the CMP Talladega. I would get a hotel in Oxford/Anniston, AL (I usually stay at the Hampton or Home2 Suites) get a rental car for those days, and drive to the CMP South store and/or Talladega Marksmanship Park store and range. That way you’d have a pretty decent amount of options to pick one out of your liking (and make sure you meet the requirements to purchase from the CMP beforehand) you can take it back with you on the plane or I think you can have it shipped back to your house (depending if they can ship it due to your state). I’m sure there are other ways to go about it but that would be how I would do it. I usually go there once a year.

The only reason "Mannlicker" is funny, is because y'all only speak gawdz language; which is apparently "Murican". While the Austro-Hungarians had a repeating small calibre, high velocity rifle, the principal arm of the US Military was the Springfield Model 1873. It was a single shot, hand loaded and hammer fired rifle.

Different accent. Mon - lissher does not roll off naturally to a North American speaker and the actual Deutsche pronunciation would be awkward to near impossible for many. When read by a U.S. reader, _Mann_ looks like 'man' with a longer 'n' and _licher,_ having no English language counterpart (that I can think of just now) looks 'close enough' to 'licker', which is also how we pronounce _'liquor',_ which can be added to make the conversation more lively.
