… Steyr Männlicher: from 8x50mmR to 8x56mmR Most of the remainder were produced at Budapest’s Fegyver és Gépgyár Rt.

Over 3 million of the venerable bolt action rifles were ultimately manufactured, roughly 3/4 of them at Österreichische Waffenfabriks-Gesellschaft, Steyr. After the war ended and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was dissolved, the rifle continued to see use by the armies of Austria and Hungary but also in many of the Balkan states where the rifle was given to these countries as part of war reparations. Although if you have a loaded or partially loaded M95, you can push a button on the receiver and send a perfectly full clip of ammunition sailing through the air if you feel the need.įielded in the First World War by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Bulgarian military bought large quantities of them beginning in 1903. When the last round is fired, the clip drops free through a hole in the lower receiver. Typical of a Mannlicher design, these rifles are fed via an en-bloc clip instead of a stripper clip.Īn 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. NOTE: You can buy one online if you’re looking: they have Cavalry models too.
