Mae here, I've hijacked the C&R account. Round 2 folks! We've corrected some errors in the original, ammo specs in the beginning, some phrasing in the animation, so here we are with our re-release. I don't know who all had a hand in helping to spot the errors, but thanks for keeping an eye out fellas and a special thanks to Bloke on the Range for double checking some notes on the fly for us!

Honestly unless you one of the rearsenal'd ones that was done by !NOT Styer, they are pretty fun guns. For instance i have had two M95s one that was redone by Bulgaria and one redone by Austria. The Bulgarian one was awful, stuck cases, constant failures to extract (pretty sure it was the chamber not being poilshed/reamed out correctly) and all kinds of other problems. My Austrian one is pretty good. Never really had any problems with it other than a beat to cracked stock.

Seeing that lovely slim full stock on a neat short-action small rifle the first thought was: ‘This will be a highly-ranked favorite.’ Seeing all the horrors of its complicated, gaff-prone, tricky re-assembly process, and adding the possibility of spontaneous disassembly while in use, the thought becomes: ‘This thing needs to be redone as a compact Mauser-style bolt action.’ Wonder if some exposure to this rifle was behind the slightly later Siamese (Thai) decision to house their own short 8mm rimmed cartridge in a full sized Mauser action.

My bolts aren't so sticky on my 3 examples. They cycle much more smoothly than that one. Only thing I don't like about them really is the front sight protector. Not just because it'll float because they didn't use a tapered screw, but because I can mistake them for the front sight. My 2 that have a magazine aren't sloppy fitting or problematic either.

Looks to be as fiddly as a 1916 Spanish Mauser Floor Plate. I have one rechambered in .308, when the Oviedo Spanish Mauser Model 1916 Short Rifle was rechambered I believe that the workers took the attitude of 'it's good enough' when putting them back in service. The 2 that I have worked on both were in cosmoline and had broken parts throughout the firearm. May be they were the Elbonians 'We do our best with your worst.'
