Found this one last month...a Steyr M95 long rifle. Converted to 8x56r, apparently in 1936, as 36 is stamped over 17. Barrel, receiver, stock match. Bolt is not numbered. Not a Bulgarian rifle. And we have the original M95 sling! This rifle is in excellent condition, and I'm really glad I found it. Wanted to share it with you guys.
and somewhere a table is missing it's leaf. :D
nice rifle too.
Yes, definitely an Austrian Republic Conversion (HV Heeres Verwaltung), of 1936.
And since the Bolt is not EP'd, probably never went to Bulgaria, but remained in Austria/Ostmark during the war, or Probably travelled with Luftwaffe AA units ( common rifle in these units); and the original M95 pattern sling is a plus ( at least, pre-WW II pattern).
Nice find.

Very nice, definitely underappreciated rifles (which just means more for us those of us that do appreciate them to collect!).
