If you have never fired a Steyr M95, you have no business talking to me about the recoil.

  • How easy is this ammunition to come by?

  • @ChrisPenta

    It wasn't too difficult about three years ago when this footage was taken, at around $1.25 (U.S) per round, excluding shipping.

  • What landed on the floor at 0:08 ?

  • @TaZ101SAGA

    The clip. The rifles magazine is similar to the M1 Garand in that when the last round is put into the chamber, the clip automatically pops out.

  • Just bought one of these! Looks like you consistently hit the same spot.

  • @PolishWingedHussar10

    Most bolt action rifles use a rotating bolt, the M1895 has a straight bolt. In a rotating bolt, you have to actually rotate the bolt and then pull it back. In a straight bolt, you simply pull straight back. It essentially allows for a simpler action and a faster rate of fire.

    However, it can be less reliable than "regular" rotating bolt action rifles, as a straight bolt can be more prone to jamming from dirt.

  • @F4Wildcat One thing is confusing me very much. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Steyr M95 bolt action over other bolt actions like Mauser ?

  • This guy used the bolt correctly.

  • Yeah, the M95 is nice and smooth to shoot in the long rifle version, but the M95/30 carbine has a painfull kickback.

    As for the clips, it is the Mannlicher system. Just like a garand, a full clip is inserted. And there's a hole underneath the magazine. Once you chamber the last round, the stripper clip fells out underneath. This gave a faster loading time compared to other Bolt action rifle, and the straight pull system made firing faster. Also the M95 was a very sturdy design.

  • @00MSG The old surplus stuff has nasty recoil. Prvi's new 8x56 isn't (quite) as bad. Such a stout round in a light rifle is like shooting a .30-06 out of an M4 carbine in terms of recoil.

  • @iceteaguy Oh right, thats for clearing that up.
