someone needs to block gunbroker on your computer! your gonna go broke lol
Well, I certainly would look into reloading! Only way to afford to fire these things and NOT have to worry about clean up the corrosive salts from the old primers they used. You want to make sure what caliber you are getting. The original rifles came out in 8X50R. That ammo is next to impossible to find, and I don't know anybody you can buy a case with a boxer primer hole. Most of them were later converted to 8X56R, which you can get ammo for (though expensive) and get cases from Graf And Sons that does use boxer primers. The converted rifles should have a big "S" on the receivers somewhere. They really are shoulder thumpers, though. If you think a Mosin Nagant kicks, wait till you fire one of these.Nice Ganny, i have my eye on a M95 Mannlicher Steyr, but i have to play the waiting game. The dude left on the 24th for 6 weeks. I think it'll be a nice straight pull to go with my K31.
Bad thing is i don't reload yet, other than that, is there is anything i should pay attention to when i look at it. Other than the obvious ?
Thanks for the advice ganny. Unfortunatwly i think this may be an original. It comes all # matching, with 6 full clips of nazi stamped ammo, probally from the 30's.Well, I certainly would look into reloading!

Nope.8X50R would that not be the same as the 8mm Lebel??
That would be the Hungarian, now you would need the Austrian and the Bulgarian contract ones with that to make a set.They got an m95 steyr here for sale for $159. Its marked Budapest on the top of the receiver, and its in nice condition......
