Quote: Is it sure that he use a Mannlicher M 95? this rifle was available as a sporter before WW 1 but I would not expect to find it outside of the KuK empire. or was it a Mannlicher Schoenauer Rifle in 8x56 MS?
I don't know.His book covers a time span from 1903. If he used an 8mm only later, I think it's an 8x56 Mannlicher-Schoenauer, introduced 1908. But remember, Kalman Kittenberger was a citizen of the K&K empire up to 1918, then a Hungarian.
