Steyr 1888/90/95 Infantry Rifle (CGN Private Ad)

The SIN numbers etched on the receiver and magazine eliminated my interest in it.

The price would have to plunge from where it is for me to stomach that bit of 1960's "culture". I bet the former owner who did that also had a label maker.

There's a Steyr carbine in 8x50R listed in the EE now also. $160 and it looked correct, but I know very little about those rifles.

If it's in the original 8x50R, then why does it have that big "S" indicating rechamber to 8x56R on the barrel? Beware.

[Badger]

Beware.

Roger that ...
