MATCHING NUMBERS Austro- Hungarian Mannlicher M95 Stutzenkarabiner 8mm Calibre Carbine. D 1391 - D 1391

This is an excellent example of the M95 Steyr straight pull bolt action carbine. The M95 was first manufactured at the Steyr plant and then in Budapest at an Island Arsenal set up by Steyr. This is one of those and the breech is stamped 'Budapest M95 (illustrated). These weapons were used throughout WW1 and in 1930 the Austrian Government updated this carbine for the 8 x 56R cartridge and the sights altered. The receivers as with this example were stamped 'S' for Stutzenkarabiner. When the Nazi's came to power these carbines were given to Bulgarian Units. They were also standard issue for the Russian Navy. The wood furniture of this weapon is in great condition as is the metal work which has its original finish throughout. The barrel, breech and stock are stamped with martching numbers ‘4378V’. The bolt has the number ‘4378’ lightly scratched on it. It cocks and dry fires perfectly. The price for this original, nicely stamped weapon includes deactivation certificate and UK delivery. D 1391
