[silvertaco1]

@EmilAWA Because the fascist pigs return fire.

[1kalakula]

PANG!!!

OH SHit MY Freaking ears!!

[MACEX1000]

what country is that rifle from

[caseyreavis]

@MACEX1000 austria-hungary... well, that's what it was called back then...

[MACEX1000]

@caseyreavis yeah pre ww1

[MavHunter20XX]

Disregard, I see the comment below my last.

[MavHunter20XX]

Is that a straight pull bolt action?

[kpadmirer]

I love straight-pull rifles. Have a K31, now need to get one of these.

[abigpurplemonkey]

is the helmet neccesary?

[ytykg]

@abigpurplemonkey

I don't suppose anything is necessary. He just felt like wearing it.I didn't feel the need to stop him. After all the video is about the rifle, not a reservist's apparel. 

[altops]

@abigpurplemonkey abso lut lee old steel not worth leaving up to chance.

[fritzy1964]

My son had one of these in .303 British. retooled after the allied occupation. On a side note I'm really not sure what you're trying to say by the camo and kevlar. To be honest you look like a dork

[ytykg]

@fritzy1964

That is my friend in the video. He hadn't had a chance to change since he'd just got back from UTA.

[airspaceamation]

i think im gonna take that from you its my favorite gun XD

[kazetehskylord]

I have one of these rifles in my room at the moment, (Chamber welded shut) but when I pull the bolt back, it doesn't lock i place at the back of the gun. Annoying. -.- I have several times ripped the entire bolt assembly out of the gun.

[rubbindubbin4life]

@HalfBak3dM0nkey i know right looks odd.but gotta love that m95

[rubbindubbin4life]

@HalfBak3dM0nkey i know right looks odd.but gotta love that m95

[rfs12345]

does anyone know where i can get ammo for this rifle?

[zverbrycke]

I have a Hungarian M95 and I gotta say that for a small rifle its surprisingly powerful.I shot a tree that was about 10" or 12" thick(in diameter)to see how much damage it would do and it punched a hole all the way through(I was surprised)!By the way if anyone could tell me where i can find METAL stripper clips I would appreciate it.

[RadeonAno]

Pre-WW1 M95s made in Austria and Hungary costs about €150. M95 made in Czechoslovakia during 1920s costs €450. So WTF? Quality difference or something?

[ytykg]

@RadeonAno

My guess is rarity. Millions were made by the Austro-Hungarians before WWI. Although I don't know the level of production by the Czechs. I assunimg it is much lower, not in quality, but in quantity.

Kind of like how a Finnish M91, will cost more than a Russian M91. There were simply a lot fewer made. Although The stocks are usually better on the Finn.

[WurledPeas]

@HalfBak3dM0nkey Try ACU and WOODLAND.....

[Sturmmann]

were these used by the Austro Hungarian mountain troops?

[sdkfz162kingtiger]

its austro-hungarys standart rifle of WW 1 and the worlds fastest repetier gewehr in this time.

[Kdssow]

My country, The Netherlands/Holland, used these bieuties in WWII.

They were working really fine.

But we capitulated after 5 days because Rotterdam was bombed and the entire Dutch Government and the Royal Familly fled towards England.

[Hubscharber]

Flinch!! lol

[WVliberty]

looks like a mosin nagent

[andyskillen1992]

well considering austria and hungary were in a union back then (the Austro-Hungarian Empire) id say its entirely possible it was made in Budapest

[videoww2soldier98]

ive shot a gun jut like it and it has a kick but not that bad u could drop a bucket of water from 200 yards it powerfull

[GIJeaux1]

Why the helmet and ACUs??????

[Breakneckhydra1]

@GIJeaux1 better question is, why NOT?

[ytykg]

Yep, he was in a reserve unit at the time, and they were in transition.

[Captb55806]

I am looking for 8x56 Ammo. I see them at gun shows but they are so damm expenceive. I bought my Steyer last Chirstams but I have not shot it yet because I could not find a good deal on ammo.

[RVANGOL]

hornaday makes it. they sell it for about 26 for 20

[Captb55806]

Yeah I already know Hornady makes them

its just that they get sold quickley where I live. I herd Olympic will be coming out with the Styer Ammo.

[nyjoe92]

you can convert 7.62x54r to 8x56 but you need a reloading press

[Shatnerpossum]

I finally shot mine a few weeks ago. It was a lot of fun, worth the cost of ammo.

My extractor is finicky though, be prepared to set the rifle down and kick the bolt.

[KholdAxe]

The ammunition is not produced and is pretty rare now, since the M95 was one of the few rifles chambered for that cartridge. You would have to make your own shells from 54r ammo and cast your own bullets to get them cheap.

[ogreatone]

what unit are you in?

[clujromanialinkin]

nice bolt... you don't have to pull it up then back then forward and down... this is just a simple bolt

[founditnow54]

wow thats a cool rifle. is that 8 X50 cal? it also seems to have a straight pull bolt. interesting!

[1337GordonFrohman]

where did you get the ammo for this?

[ytykg]

I bought it from Southern Ohio Gun back when I bought the rifle. I wish I'd bought more, I only got about 500 rounds. I quit shooting it when I hit 400.

It's 1938 Nazi marked surplus on clips. They've been out for a long time now.

[majorporpoise]

I saw a bunch of WW2 8x56 Steyr ammo at a gun show yesterday.

[guruh1]

Austrian Rifle (Steyr Austrian Weapon Builder company)

Not made in Budapest.....

Inform first before u say some things like that

[ytykg]

It has Budapest stamped on the receiver. Although it was much smaller production than the Steyr produced rifles. They did produce rifles in Budapest.

This is one of them.

[DrKorn5]

more correctly "austro-hungarian" and yes there were ones made in Budapest. When I bought mine I had the choice of a 1917 Styer or one made in Budapest and I went with the styer because it had a better bore.

[tarkin56]

is this rifle austrian?

[ytykg]

No this one was made in Budapest, Hungary.

Then again it was made during WWI so it is Austro-Hungarian.

[traktorensteff]

If there is a "K" at the parts, it was made in Austria (in Steyr) and if there is a "R", it was made in Budapest (as far as I know).

[ytykg]

It says Budapest right on the receiver.

[pintofshite]

nice little flame at the end

[majorporpoise]

Your friend in the Army?

[ytykg]

Yep. He was a reservist when we filmed this. He has since went active duty. While in the reserves he served two tours (2 years total) in Kuwait.

[majorporpoise]

That's cool. Tell him I said thank you for serving for our country.

I'm going in, right now I'm an Army cadet.

[MaxPayne719]

Carpathian Crosses!!!!!

[Georgeee1995]

LoL u forgot its a straigt pull ;D

[jeolecock]

is tis gun fun to shoot

[lupinthe221]

ah-HAHHAHAHA looks like someone at the end of the video forgot its a straight pull bolt action and not a regular bolt action =P

[ytykg]

Someone finally noticed! Yep, that's my friend in the video and I didn't tell him it was a straight pull. The last shot in the video is actually the first one filmed.

Good eye!

[RebelSince1776]

I heard they kick like a mule, is that true cuz I almost bought 1 4 200 and I dont know if I made the right decision or not, was the price too high?

[nyjoe92]

yes the price was to high you could probably find a nice one for about 125

[RebelSince1776]

It came with a the M95 bayonet, and 20 rounds of ammo, but ya, I think it was still pretty high

[ramberghini]

Maybe you can do a comparison vid of the M95 and the K31, the two most common and legendary straight pull bolt action rifles. That would be quite interesting.

-gunny55

[ramberghini]

how good are these rifles overall and how do they compare to a mauser or enfield in terms of accuracy and how enjoyable they are to shoot?  I'm partly czech, and czechslovakia was at one point part of the austro-hungarian empire, so this rifle has more than just some historical value to me. Just need to know how good they really are though.

[921945]

There very solid, but there in a different class, the accuracy is reasonable, as far as surplus goes, and it's short, and handy, and just feels right, I know mine just feels like it was built for me, it's great on the other hand they recoil, HARD think 12 Gauge shotgun firing 3.5 Inch Magnum Slugs, with no Recoil Pad, I know a lot of people can't get through one clip, also the action unlike other strait pulls is VERY stiff, and dis assembly, and reassembly is a bitch.

[921945]

All that said though there very historic, and fun to shoot.

In World War 1 the "Stutzen's" were issued to Austohungarian Artillery, and Rear Echelon Troops. Some Long Rifles were used by the Inflantry, and converted to Stutzens.

The Austrohungarian Empire broke up after the War, and the M-95's were distributed amongst Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Austria, and Germany

In World War 2 They were used by the German Police, and Concentration Camp guards.

After the War the Soviets used some in the Navy.

[ramberghini]

thank you very much, maybe ill convince my father to get one.....in about a decade if we have the money.

-gunny55

[tomterahedrob]

im picking up 3 today. 69 bucks at Big 5 sporting goods.

[ramberghini]

i saw that some company was selling them for 89.95 each, with ammo going for 10$ per 20 rounds. the ammo was the only thing stopping me from getting one of these rifles. i'll have to try one. they look pretty neat.

[RebelSince1776]

U should specify which Mauser, and which enfield, and I'm part german but that doesn't mean that german firearms have anything more than historical value to me

[johnie1992]

nice video!

[fezzial]

i love the straight pull. i have a M91. i always go to push down the bolt, such a hard habit to break haha

[3of11]

*snicker* something fell off your gun :P

(yes I know its supposed to, but if you bring a mannlicher feeding rifle to just about any public range, odds are someone will tell you just that!)

[Konstantinescu]

AWESOME. mannligher is probably, yeah it is... my FAVORITE rifle!!! i love the straight pull bolt action as opposed to the curve. :D mannlicher rules!

[PotatoGunsRule]

Try a swiss K-31, about 2 times more accurate and 5 times easier bolt throw!

[Konstantinescu]

sounds good! ill definetly try it.

[packayaker]

i got one too and i love it. what type of 8x56r do you use?

[ytykg]

1938 Nazi marked surplus in the video. No I don't shoot it with that anymore. In fact I haven't shot any of my M95's since I filmed this. The ammo is too scarce now.

[sniper034]

My greatgrandfather sent an M95 back to the United States during the Great War by writing on the stock of the rifle the address of my grandfather's house, stuck it in a mailbox, and a bit later, it arrived. True story, no lie. We still have it! ( but refurbished, not the same stock) Wish the mail system was still like that...

Oh yeah, nice vid. 5/5 :)

[apocalypse1298]

Why do you have to point the rifle at the ground to reload, keep it at your shoulder and you will shoot a lot faster.

[ytykg]

That rifle was received without the Clip catch spring. If he had not tilted it down the clip and all of the ammo would have flown out when he cycled the action. The problem has since been fixed.

[homer6632]

Wo you have any idea how hard it is to pull the bolt back on that rifle.

[ytykg]

It's really easy on that carbine. My M95 Long Rifle is kind of rough though.

[Csicso01]

Hi everybody!

Dear Mani001Obi! My grandfather was used his m95 in the second world war as a solider! He was fight in Serbia. That rifle's used 8X56 Rimmed ammo, and it was the standard rifle of Hungary!

But the hungarian's army used an another rifle what was better than the m95 that name was Type 35 Mannlicher(It was built in 1935 to 1945)

[MosinDisciple]

I absolutely hated my M95 during the time I briefly owned it. Unlike the Swiss K31, the action on this rifle is really cranky and stiff - not a fun rifle to shoot at all.

[ytykg]

You got a bad one I guess. Although I'd never say they are as good as my K-31's. My M95's are still great rifles.

[gevar234]

What's the caliber?

[ytykg]

8x56r

[homer6632]

8x56r

[Kregar292]

Steyr mannlicher rifles were used also in ww2. But just carbines, long rifles were used mostly in ww1.

[gandb21]

Straight pull! I thot the K31 was the only one.

[Fusilier7]

I have seen the German and Turkish Mauser demonstrated before. This is the first time I have seen the Steyr M95, all WW1 rifles.

Great Video!

[Mani001Obi]

Steyr Mannlicher M95 rifles were never used in World War II!

They were the standard weapon of the austrian army before the WWII.

[ytykg]

The date is very small, on the barrel, just in front of the receiver. Most have an S stamped over the date. Mine was made in 1916 at the Budapest arsenal.

IIRC all M95's were made before or during WWI. The last rifles were produced in 1918.

[nagant1934]

Excellent! Iv'e been weighing my options for getting an m95. I wonder how they stack up against the Carcano.
