the black discoloration on the stock is gunoil that was soaked up when the gun was standing for years very well oiled. its not good beside of the look and you have to remove it by laying the stock in thinner or get it out carefully with a good hairdryer. the heat makes the wood to "sweat out" the oil.

lancaster: How is this rifle loaded? Is the scope offset or does one have to remove it to load the mag?

the scope looks centered so you take the scope off what no problem with the claw mount, load the clip and set the scope on again. five rounds are enough for most hunting situation in europe.
the 7x57R is a little bit smaller than the 8x50R but seems to work with the clip.

Nice little rifle there Lancaster!
Would be a pain to load.
Silly question, being loaded with a en-block, can you top up or load singularly with it in place with the M95 rifle?

loading singly is a pain, the rim have to be under the extractor beause it can break otherwise.

no, take the scope of and on is quick as possible with a claw mount. absolute no problem at all and five rounds are more than enough for any hunting situation here.

here it is














I have seen such falling block rifles with an austrian accent in 8x50R before. the mountain hunter allways looking for a short rifle that don't interfere so much when climbing what allways can happen on a hunt in the alps. the engraving looks very british, maybe actually made in Liege for export to austria? what does the proofmarks telling for a story?

As I was asked about the purpose of the lever on the left side of the action before: It’s the handle of a screw that is part of the Austrian takedown system of these copies of the Alexander Henry 1869 falling block action. While Henry used a peculiar barrel detaching system, the Austrians detached the buttstock with lock and trigger mechanisms from the action body with breech block and barrel. You can see the parting line in the photos. To take the rifle down you remove that screw and unhook the two parts.
This rifle apparently passed the workshop of Franz Neuber in Wiener Neustadt who installed those Tambour safeties. About the Tambour safeties, see here:

My Martini Cadet action has a similar 'lever' screw/clamp that tightens the action of the take-down (unscrewing) feature it has.

I suppose it to be a locking lever for the Tambour grip safety. Similar purpose as the British “stalking safety”.

That’s not a clamping screw, but just a pin holding fore and aft parts together. Here are two photos of such “Austrian Henrys” taken down.
