I have searched all of the reference stickies at a few forums and some things are still a little confusing to me. My question is, can someone give me some information on my Steyr M95,like where its been, where it was made and such. It would be greatly appreciated!! Here are the details:
First off, its a short little carbine, not a long rifle.
Bore is in excellent condition, I can keep all the shots in a paperplate at 60 yards with german surplus. The only markings above the woodline on the receiver and barrel, on the barrel, the big S, and on the right side the austrian critter mark with a T stamp in a circle. On the receiver its just marked Stery M.95, and the serial number is 1381M.?
The front sight is banded on, bayonet lug, left side stacking hook. The rear band has a large bar type sling loop, the length between the bands is 5 inches. On the left side of the butt there is an old 4 digit serial number crossed out, and on the left its been restamped new to match the receiver. The bolt has been EP'd, the rear sight is very short, and goes from 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, then move the slide out of the way and there is a large 5. If your looking down the sights with the latter laying down, on the left of the V notch is a large 3, all numbers painted tan in color. Under the rear sight base is a marking "-05" and on the receiver its "+05". The blueing is in the best condition I have seen on a military rifle. There are also numerous K's on the small parts. My particular bolt does not snap into the retracted position when I remove it or even josstle it around a bit, which is good. The trigger is no K31, and neither is the bolt operation, but its a very accurate rifle and it was my Christmas present, I fired it yesterday with 15 rounds of "Nazi" ammo for $5 a box, and it functioned fine and was dead on at 60 yards with a 6 o' clock hold on the paperplate. Recoil was awesome, I relaxed after the day by shooting my M44.
If anyone can give me some information on my particular rifle I'd greatly appreciate it, as I have been searching all day and have read 100's of paragraphs of info. Oh, the rear sling swivel is also on the left side of the pistol grip, and the underside of the stock does NOT have a plugged area where a swivel might have been. There is also 1 more marking under the T in the circle, it lookes like two pyramids turned sideways and touching one another like an hourglass.
Thank you!
