This is an original Steyr M95 straight-pull rifle chambered in 8×56R, representing one of the most iconic military rifles of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This example remains in solid, honest condition and retains its original military configuration.
The action has been function-checked and operates smoothly with a tight lock-up.
