Steyr Mannlicher M1895
The Steyr Mannlicher M1895 was an Austro-Hungarian rifle, developed and designed by Ferdinand Ritter Von Mannlicher and was produced between 1895 and 1918. It was originally produced in 8x50R however,after 1924, some were converted to 7.92 Mauser (the current caliber adopted by the Imperial German Army) and those rifles are called M95/24. During the latter half of the 1920s, Mannlicher developed a more powerful cartridge, the 8x56R and began to convert many existing rifles to fit the new ammunition. Since the new ammunition was adopted in 1930, it is called M30, however many sources simply refer to it as 8x56R. The M1895 (or M95) can be seen in the full length rifle and the M95 short rifle. These rifles, chambered for the new M30 round were issued to Hungarian, Bulgarian forces during World War II and some German Police Units.
