In this video, Mike takes a look at an 8x50R M1895 Austrian Mannlicher straight-pull long rifle, and takes it out to 300m for a shoot. In the discussion, he talks about how you can keep an 8x50R fed despite there being no ammo available (hint - trimmed 7.62x54R brass), and describes how the Austrians loved their M95's, but the Swiss hated their model 1893 cavalry carbines, which use basically the same action but with a detachable magazine, and busts some myths.

Great vid Bloke. I love these rifles for no real reason other than the mechanics but have found everything you've said to be true.

A member of my family actually has 1 of these but I’m disappointed in the total lack of ammunition availability. It doesn’t have the “S” Spitzer marking, so I know it’s an original (He bought it in a catalog back in 1958 lol). Triggered!!! 😾😾😾

My dad had one of these, he bought a large quantity of original ammo and blanks with a wooden bullets too. He would pull the wood blanks and dump the powder and loaded it with new components. He also made his own loads from Norma 7.62x54R brass. It has quite a kick when fired. Still a lot of fun.

Great video! I read a part of an old austrian infantry manual: soldiers were to train to estimate distances in paces (Schritt) and this was also examed! (If i remember correct they had to be right 7 out of 10 times to pass) And the bolt part: as far as i read in a forum, if the bolt snaps this easy it is a sign of wear. Oh and to the conversion: Austria didn't have enough money to buy new rifles in the 30s also i think the treaties forbid anything more modern etc.

I read somewhere that the inventor of the m95 was as genius as John Browning. Ferdinand von manlicher

I actually own the carbine version of this rifle. The Germans called it the "ruck zuck", meaning back and forth. Ammo wasn't as difficult to find as the stripper clips. And the gun kicks like a bastard!!
