This was the primary shoulder arm of the Austro-Hungarian army during WWI and was made in huge quantities. The rifle was also used by Bulgaria and Greece. Many of these models were used in Italy during WWII, as well as the Balkans during that same period of time.

NOTE:

Model 1895M Infantry Rifle

Between the two world wars, many Model 95s were converted to 8x57mm short rifles and fitted with 24" barrels. These rifles used the standard Mauser stripper clip instead of the Mannlicher system. Receivers were marked “M95M” and “M95/24”. Yugoslavia was the main user of these rifles. Many experts consider these rifles unsafe to fire with full power 8x57mm ammunition.

Model 1895 Sharpshooter’s Rifle

Same configuration as the Infantry rifle except for the addition of double set triggers. Rare.

Model 1895 Sniper Rifle

Same as the Sharpshooter’s rifle but fitted with a telescope sight. Extremely rare. Deduct 50 percent if there is no scope.

Model 1895 Cavalry Carbine

Essentially the same as the Infantry rifle with a shorter barrel. Barrel length is 19.5". The sling swivels are located on the side on the stock and there is no bayonet lug or stacking hook. Weight is about 7 lbs. Produced until 1918.
