Steyr M95 recent purchase
My recent WW1 rifle purchase. I think I have a M95 Stutzen that wasn't cut down as it has both side and bottom sling attachments, and the shorter flip up sight, which you can see the shadow of the original numbers before it was ground and re-stamped for the 8x56r trajectory. It also has a circlt t stamp showing it was rebarreled post WW1 with a crucible steel barrel. I believe it ended its service as an Austrian Border Patrol rifle as it has a Z.W.1971 stamp on the buttplate. It's absolutely fascinating to find out about the history of this little rifle. I picked it up for $235 (plus 18%) at an auction, so I don't think I got robbed. If I'm wrong about anything, please let me know. Now I need to find a bayonet and a reproduction sling. Hoping to shoot this guy sometime this Summer.
