Steyr M95 Long Rifle

This is my Steyr M95 long rifle made by Steyr in 1917. She was converted to 8x56R but other than that was unaltered.

I was shooting 1938 Nazi Surplus ammo.

does this rifle used the rotating bolt system like the m1 carbine but operated manually??

@LuvZaku1753

The bolt head rotates 90 degrees during initial extraction. The rest of the bolt remains level. It is not like a Garand or a Swiss K31.

I got one for Christmas and its 8mm?

@DrShakalu619

Yep, 8x56R. Sorry about the delay.

I heard these were like the AK-47's of World War I, in that they could operate in the most extreme adverse conditions. Is this true? Based on your own experience with the weapon?

@CaScA

My experience pales compared to those conditions. I'd say it is a tough action, but the Mosin Nagant is the AK of the bolt action world.

@DrShakalu619 do not try using normal 8mm!!!!!!!!

[F4Wildcat]

@CaScA M1895's where very sturdy and reliable. But they required proper care and maintance under battlefield conditions. A tad more then regular bolt action rifles of its day
