tired ol steyr m95

[Jay2020]

hello
i don't think my original message went out. If it did sorry for the double.
I recently bought a Steyr M95. I was taking it apart for a well needed cleaning when i know so little about it. I know it is a carbine by the length of the barrel. Is it natural or not. It ha very few markings as you will see. Any help would be appreciated sn is 228V what does the V mean, thanks

Need a photo of the rear sight to tell you if it's a true carbine or a cut down rifle. Both are "real", just one is purpose built as a carbine. The others were "modernized" to be shorter between the wars.

here are 2. as you can see i just laid the blade on top as i am redoing things

Do you know what the V is at end of sn

Originally a long rifle converted to the short rifle configuration. Should have a large 'S' or 'H' on the chamber. The V would just be part of the serial number.

S or h + 8x56R easy to find

No S or H stamp, then its still 8x50R, time to reload
How about a picture of the top of the barrel with the date and other markings?

[Eaglelord17]

If its shortened to carbine length it should be 8x56r. As far as I am aware no one cut down 8x50r rifles into 8x50r carbines.

Barrel length is 20 inches if that helps
