No Name Steyr M1892
      02/02/15 07:13 PM

Figure i'll post pics of this, it's got a horrid bore, i think i'll get it relined after i try a few rounds through it. For some reason it won't feed off the clips? It's also got a metal plate very neatly fitted into the bottom of the magazine that prevents clips from falling out when empty, which will be useful, since i can't seem to find them.

Seems to be a mish-mash of serial numbers, the receiver, magazine and barrel all being different.
Haven't taken the stock off. Bolt's not original and was taken from a Hembrug mannlicher, so headspace will need to be checked.

Anyways, here's the pics - it's had a rough life/well used and was imported from Africa by NE member HuntingSchneider. So i guess this is one of those "if it could talk" type things.

Reciever has "M1892" and "Steyr 1893" on it, so does this indicate it's an early one?

This rifle feels so nice to hold and point that i'm going to get a Hembrug action i've got built into a sporter chambered for .303 (feeds off clips perfectly)

Any info on it would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Ash
