#Steyr mannlicher 1895 full#
The en bloc clip loading system does not allow the partially full magazine to be refilled without removing the non-empty clip first. A large opening at the bottom of the magazine easily collected the dirt and dust into the magazine. The rifles were sensitive to mud and dirt and the straight pull bolt lacked the powerful initial extraction, provided by most rotating bolt actions. The rifle could also be equipped with a bayonet and a telescopic sight. The ammunition was loaded from the top which provided quick reloads along with the straight-pull action. In combat, the Steyr-Mannlicher M1895 proved to be a strong and accurate rifle. The first improvement was in 1885 with the addition of a clip fed magazine in which the clip was ejected from the top when empty. The first design straight pull bolt was in 1884, the M84, with gravity fed magazine, designed by Mannlicher. The rifle was nicknamed the "Ruck-Zuck" by German soldiers for its speedy reloading. The Steyr Model 1895 is the result of several design changes. The Steyr-Mannlicher M1895 was used in the Boxer Rebellion, Balkan Wars, World War I and II, and over 3,000,000 were built. The rifle was fed a 5 round stripper clip. The rifle used a 8mm Calibre and ended up to be fitted with 3 types of Cartridges, the 8x50mmR Mannlicher, 8x56mmR and the 7.92x57mm Mauser. It was so so so so good and they used it a lot. The Steyr-Mannlicher M1895 rifle is a bolt-action rifle, designed by Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher that used a refined version of hisĪustro-Hungarian soldiers with M1895 carbines during World War One
