Steyr m95

[fredfarkle]

Attachment 62225Attachment 62226I'm looking on the Internet on the arsenal markings of foreign countries on mosin nagants. And I noticed this on their list. This is my steyr m95. Looks like it has a Czechoslovakian arsenal mark. What are your thoughts? Do you agree? Looks like a Austrian rifle, given to Czechoslovakia. I'm coming up with Czechoslovakian acceptance mark 1919-1922 Military District 2 plzen. I think it's part of the 300000 that were in Czechoslovakia when they won there independence after ww1. Or is it one of 5000 that were manufactured in Czechoslovakia. It's a carbine, not a cut down long rifle. Because there are no Bruno marks. I don't know. What do you think?

The rear sight is in paces not meters. Another clue?

What cartridge is it chambered for? I see it's marked with an "S" denoting Spitzer bullet.

If this were manufactured in Czech I believe it would have BRNO on the receiver, so perhaps as you indicated, an Austrian made receiver with a Czech barrel. Bolts that are numbered either electro penciled or stamped nearly always means Bulgarian refurbished. The large "S" means that it is chambered in 8X56R Steyr, and not in the original 8X50R. Check out the website hungariae.com for lots of good M95 marking information. Regards. Tom

It IS a cut down long rifle. The rear sight is a dead giveaway.

Yeah the sights on my Budapest are smaller. And front sight is taller.
