Originally they were chambered for the round-nosed 8×50mmR cartridge, but almost all were rechambered to accept the more powerful spitzer 8×56mmR cartridge in the 1930s. It was nicknamed the Ruck-Zuck-Gewehr by Austrian troops (ruck-zuck spoken as "roock-tsoock", in common language meaning "fast as a flash", at the same time echoing the repeating sound) and "Ta-Pum" by Italian troops who even wrote a song about it during World War I. The Mannlicher M1895 (German: Infanterie Repetier-Gewehr M.95, Hungarian: Gyalogsági Ismétlő Puska M95 "Infantry Repeating-Rifle M95") is a straight pull bolt-action rifle, designed by Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher that used a refined version of his revolutionary straight-pull action bolt, much like the Mannlicher M1890 carbine. These guns are true authentic pieces of history and should not be missing in any WW1 and Austro-Hungarian firearms collection. The stocks might have some minor dents or small cracks.
A specific manufacturer can be chosen by the customer, however if there is no preference, the option does not have to be selected and a rifle will be picked for the standard price. We do have Budapest and Steyr arsenals available. These guns come straight out of Ethiopia and are all in 100% functional condition.
All are original and use the 8x50R ammunition.
