    AUSTRIAN STEYR 1888/1890 RIFLE FIND (questions)

    An 88/90 found me this weekend. I bought on impulse knowing what it was but not much more. There seems to be relatively little information here and else were on the internet about these. Are they rare? Not much finish on the metal with some pitting but the bore looks clean with sharp rifling. Is there a source for safe modern ammo for the beast?

    Photos to follow.
