Austrian Steyr Carbine-Stutzen Model 1895 | 8x50mmR Mannlicher

Austrian Steyr Carbine-Stutzen Model 1895 | 8x50mmR Mannlicher

You are considering a vintage Austrian Steyr Carbine-Stutzen Model 1895. These straight-pull bolt-action rifles were revolutionary for their time and increased an individual’s fire rate from ~15 rounds per minute to 25 or more. Their introduction had several variants, from the full-length 50-inch rifles to the shorter calvary carbines measuring just under 40-inches. Most full-length M95s were eventually shortened to the carbine length during WWII and rechambered for the more modern 8x56mmR cartridge. These rifles have an S stamped above the barrel just back of the rear sight notating the “spitzer” style bullet used in the converted rifles.

Our particular example is an all-original, non-converted carbine Steyr M95 from just after World War 1. It was manufactured sometime between 1918 and 1921 and is an all-matching example with Austrian Steyr K-stamped parts found throughout. Following traditional German manufacturing, its serial number features four numeral digits followed by a letter code; 6844Y — you can find this serial number in numerous locations around the rifle. The metalwork is in good condition with a nice brown patina — there is no severe damage, deep cuts, gouges, rust pitting, or other deformations. The barrel measures 20-inches in length and includes its original front and rear sights and barrel bands with bayonet lug. The tip of the barrel has some white paint on the right-hand side, just below the front sight. The bore is bright and shiny with strong rifling and some very minor pitting — no major fouling or corrosive damage — It is chambered for the original round-nose 8x50mmR Mannlicher cartridge. The wood stock is holding up well but does have a crack forming on the left-hand side forearm; it could be repaired in the right hand and does not present a huge issue at the moment. The rest of the wood is in good shape with typical storage and usage wear. The action locks up nicely and functions as it should.
