Steyr Mannlicher M1895 8x50mmR Lebel (aka 8x51R Lebel) Rifle
Steyr Mannlicher M1895 8x50mmR Lebel (aka 8x51R Lebel) Rifle.The Mannlicher M1895 (German: Infanterie Repetier-Gewehr M.95, Hungarian: Gyalogsági Ismétlő Puska M95; “Infantry Repeating-Rifle M95”) is a straight pull bolt action rifle, designed by Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher that used a refined version of his revolutionary straight-pull action bolt, much like the Mannlicher M1890 carbine. It was nicknamed the Ruck-Zuck-[Gewehr] by Austrian troops (ruck-zuck spoken as “roock-tsoock”, in common language meaning “back and forth [rifle]”) and “Ta-Pum” by Italian troops who wrote a song about it during World War 1. The primary producers were the OEWG in Steyr, and FEG in Budapest.
Originally they were chambered for the round-nosed 8x50mmR cartridge, but almost all were re chambered to accept the more powerful spitzer 8x56mmR cartridge in the 1930s.
This is a great rifle in lovely original condition.
