That rifle has a Bulgarian crest, not Austro-Hungarian. It was made under contract for Bulgaria. Very nice rifle, I love M95s and have a few.

Beautiful, steyr is an underrated titan of firearms development and production

i bought mine for 100 dollars about 20 years ago at big 5, i wish i picked up up few more at that price. mine was in great shape once i cleaned it up.

I have one of the. Mannlicher Steyr str8 pul rifles brought back from WW1 by my Dr on horse back grand dad. now over 100 yrs. old and works perfectly. The rifle fired fast enough to get the inside of the stock charcoaled from heat! Brilliant design!

Ive got a few long rifles and carbines. Even have some 88/90s. Made tons of videos on them. Even shot them all on the channel. 8x50r is hard to find haha

Beautiful rifle

I had one of these in the mid 90s, 8 x 56r carbine length with very heavy straight pull action. The recoil was very sharp, have fired old 303, 308 and 30-06 at that time ex military and this was worse. The straight pull was tight, sometimes it got stuck, the rifle I had was in absolute mint condition but the heavy trigger, the recoil and close range I was shooting ,i traded it on a Mossberg ATP8 12 gauge pump, even the 3” 12 g shells in the shotgun were not as bad as the M95. Did like the latter sight setup. One day will get an old Winchester lever and fit a reproduction ladder sight.

Another U'S' rifle used the en-bloc type clip was the Lee 6mm straight pull bolt action. That one didn't stay around for too long.

The Mannlicher M95 is my favorite milsurp rifle. Very underrated gun and designer.

Great video 👍🏽

Please make video on Winchester 1861 please

I own two of those things [I am a glutton for punishment]. The recoil impulse of these things makes them the most uncomfortable of all my mulsurps to shoot. My friends say the same thing. Maybe it is just me but if I have to sell any of my collection, they will be the first on the block.

3:51 that's not an m95, it appears to be a dutch mannlicher. Very different action, still very cool.

I have one but never shot it. I did buy 100 rds with it but it is WW2 Wehrmacht marked ammo in boxes of ten.

As a Hungarian, I have to tell you this rifle is anything but good. 1. 8x50mmR Mannlicher and 8x56mmR Mannlicher neither were a spectacular cartridge. The .30-06, 8x57mm Mauser, but even the rimmed .303 British and 7.62x54mmR Russian were simply better. 2. The action is way much weaker than a regular Mauser action. Also weaker than the Mosin-Nagant's or the MAS-36's action (I know the French one is a later design, but Hungary still used, and even updated this useless relic in the 1930s!!!). 3. The gun was quite "custom quality", and the bolt only matching the rifle what they were put together in the factory. If you mixed up bolts and rifles on the field, you would be in trouble, as the bolts did not matched and the rifles would become unreliable. Also sensitive to dirt on the battlefield. 4. The "magazine" sucks. Only the Italian Carcano series had this terrible design. You could not top it up until the whole magazine got empy. Also open underside, the dirt could get in very easily. Not a good design. This rifle was good in a range, maybe good for non-military units (prison guards, etc), but as a military service rifle it was not good at all. As a hunting rifle it also sucks, as the ammunition is one hand scarce, on the other hand it is weak (for its size and competition). A decent .30-06 or an 8x57mm far outclassing it. And they are also more widespread (.30-06 and 8x57mm are "evergreen" cartridges here in Hungary. If you are a hunter and run out of ammo, just go into a random gunshop and you will 99% to get ammo for your gun). I would never ever get this gun other than a wallhanger. Any Mauser would be a better hunting rifle if it get sporterized (of course, ruining a piece of firearms history is not a welcome thing).

The steyr M88, M95, are fantastic rifles. The only problem is, there are no new made parts anywhere. Id like to see somebody make new stocks, and barrels. Springs. You can only go so far with 100 year old parts.

👍👍

dude did you just say , AUSTRIO HUNGRARIAN empire

Kind of looks like a Mosin?

Mannlicher....

Loved the video, but as a steyroid i must say, the mispronouncing of some of the austrian words, namely mannlicher and steyr, irks my 'tism a little bit.
