Re: another M 95 sporter

very nice hunting rifle with a long barrel, most we see today are made in the hard years after the world wars from short stutzen.

do you think its the same rifle Kudue?



today a classic hunter von Spiess was ahead of its time with a nitro repeaeting rifle in 1896. this was a time when also european army's had have single shot blackpowder rifles and many hunters in Siebenbürgen had use the muzzle loader i suspect. he and his contemporaries were very quick to accept things like nitro powder, flashlights, cars. and I think they had also use mobil phones and red dot sight's, maybe silencer if available. not sure about night vision scope and black look alike assault rifles.

the OEWG in Steyr was also very quick to sell the latest military rifle in production to civilians. when the Walsrode Gunpowder factory start to develop an own Nitro powder in 1888 the only small bore rifle they could get for test it was the M 86 Kropatschek rifle from Steyr.
Huvius, dont forget to show more pics from your rifle! could it be that it was made for the indian market?
