That’s when Mannlicher and the gang came out with the M95. The Austrian army loved the gun but in 1893, smokeless powder really began to catch on, replacing black-powder seemingly overnight and in consequence the Austrians needed another new gun.
Their gun, the Model 1888 was a bolt-action rifle with a 30-inch barrel that fired black-powder 8x50R cartridges. In 1885, Mannlicher merged his efforts with the Austrian Arms Factory company at Steyr and formed the Steyr Mannlicher group to produce a new rifle for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Steyr M95 is a straight pull bolt action rifle designed by the Austrian engineer Ferdinand Karl Adolf Josef Mannlicher prior to the First World War. It was employed by the Austro-Hungarian army throughout World War I, and post-war by both Austrian and Hungarian armies. Mannlicher invented a super-neat strait-pull bolt action that fed from an internal box magazine. Steyr Mannlicher M95 (M1895) & M95/30 The Steyr-Mannlicher M1895 rifle is an early bolt-action rifle, designed by Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher. One of the leaders in design of these guns was a fellow by the name of Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher. In the 1880s, the bolt-action rifle was a new-fangled innovative firearm. And well, there is a reason or two for this. The M95/30 was a conversion in the First Austrian Republic by Steyr-Mannlicher during 19301940.
In this clutter one humble rifle sitting quietly on the shelf (and usually priced to move) is almost never taken notice of, the near forgotten M95 Steyr-Mannlicher. When most people think old bolt-action rifles, their world is crowded with Mausers, Mosins, Springfields, and Enfields.
