Beautiful! I love the Tiger striping on the stock!
I have an M95 carbine and a long rifle. I had bit sold another carbine. All in 8x56R. I wish the ammo were plentiful and cheap but the the 225 rounds I have left I am saving to stay with the guns. The M-95s have a relatively slow lock time. That means that the firing pin is a little slower in striking the primer than on other designs.
I have always wondered about the sturdiness of the action as I can find no third or auxilliary locking lug. The carbine is a handy weapon though but the sights are poor. I love the en-block clip. Like the U.S. M1 Garand, reloading is so much easier than using a 5-round stripper clip.
Good luck with your carbine!
Thanks Max,post some pics of your rifles.Heres another pic of the new barrel marking.

my home computer is currently refusing to recognize my USB ports. I can't transfer any images from my camera to the computer but I hope to fix it soon.
I made blanks for a Steyr out of old U.S. .30-40 Krag cases. They were boxer primed and easy to reload.
Nice one. Great stock! I have always like these but just never got around to getting one yet. Many of these served in the Second World War as well. Thanks for sharing!

Nice carbine. I have one also. Did you shoot it yet?? I bought a case of 8mm with the eagle,swastika, month and year on the head stamp. I'm sure it will last a long time! 10 rounds were enough. And I like a kick.
Guys those rifles are great. I have seen one with the little German birds on it . Bill how about pictures and the story on the one you have please?
