My new Steyr rifle

feeds@yuku.com (Merlin) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 19:18:15 GMT

Bought one of the Mod 95s from SOG and got some ammo from Buffalo Arms. This is a wonderful little gun. Shots high but with a limb saver on the recoil was not bad at all. Really enjoyed it today and bought two more. Lots of fun.

Ross 1905 help

feeds@yuku.com (lonesome) — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 13:12:44 GMT

Anyone on here have a Ross 1905 MkII? I want to strip my newly acquired Ross down and give it a thorough cleaning, but I don't want to do it until I find good instructions on how to do it properly. I bought the 1917 reprint of the manual, but this does not give very detailed explanations, and mostly just says "remove this and remove that", without any real instruction on how to do so. I don't want to do anything wrong and mess up my rifle.

Also, if anyone knows...

Pulling and swapping a barrel on a Steyr M 95 Rifle

feeds@yuku.com (Kari Prager) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 04:57:13 GMT

Has anyone ever done this? I have a mostly beautiful 1895 long rifle with a destroyed barrel, and thanks to Ricasso I have a replacement barrel and receiver. I've never swapped a barrel before but it looks doable with v-blocks and a big vise, also a home-made action wrench (cut-down v-blocks to bear on the rectangular lug under the front of the receiver). I'll measure the headspace before removal ( with shims, same as on an Enfield) and hope for the best after the barrel swap. The...

I just got an interesting Straight Pull .22 Trainer - Ross Cadet

feeds@yuku.com (Kari Prager) — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:19:18 GMT

Recently I was lucky enough to make a trade for the little brother of my Ross 1910 Mk III, .303, which is one of the most accurate MilSurp rifles I own. It is the 1912 Ross Cadet Military trainer, and a neat little rifle it is! It is in very good shape, maybe had a reblue once in its life but all original and serial numbers on rifle and stock match. Nothing broken or bubba'd, just a fun single-shot straight pull to shoot. At 100 yards it can hold about a 6" group which I think is...

The intent of these forums

feeds@yuku.com (RGRWJB) — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 08:25:01 GMT

There has been some talk on this site as well as some other sites, about the success or failure of how some different Mil Surp sites on the Internet run. Some may think that a large amount of posts is a measure of success. It is not.

My gauge on whether a site is successful or not is the quality of the people at that site (no matter how many is there), the content and how many people hit that site.

I know that some...

Picked up another one. Perfect bore

My Styer's and a question.

feeds@yuku.com (mybusa) — Sat, 04 Nov 2006 22:59:00 GMT

Hello, I have a Steyr M95 question. Does anyone have a good web site or information on them? I have 3 (1 long rifle and 2 carbines) all S marked for the 8X56r but the 2 carbines are quite a bit different in configuration as can be seen in the photos. Sights are different and the barrel bands are different.

Were the cut down carbines build at different factories and times, or were they built as they had parts? 1 has a small import marking under barrel and 2 have none.

Any...

Rarity on Budapest Manufactured Bulgarian M95 Stutzens

feeds@yuku.com (Kibbey) — Tue, 27 Jun 2006 20:58:26 GMT

I spotted a fair to good condition (and matching stamped bolt) Bulgarian M95 stutzen (it did have a wrist-side swivel) with an "S" stamped chamber. The Budapest marking on the left rail gave the manufacturing date as 1909. How common is this variant of the M95?

I'm thinking I'm destined to buy it since Graf's called to ask if I wanted my long overdue back order of 8x56R brass. My wife, who took the call, said "I'm sure he does" without even asking me! Isn't she...

New person's query - Mannlicher model 1888 11,15x58R rifle

feeds@yuku.com (I Hephaestus) — Thu, 13 Apr 2006 21:28:20 GMT

Thanks to the group for letting me aboard.

I've really been taken over by the idea of acquiring a decent example of the Mannlicher model 1888 11,15x58R rifle. What are my chances of finding one? Haven't seen any ( except one ) up for sale anywhere. Is that a clear indication how rare ( and expensive ) one will be? If anyone has a lead on one for a reasonable ( open to interpretation I know) price please let me know. This all may sound like a newbie's lament but while I've been...

m95 Steyr needs a front sight.

feeds@yuku.com (Unindicted coconspiritor) — Tue, 21 Mar 2006 09:12:14 GMT

Fixing up my M95, and all that is left is the front sight blade, which fits in the dovetail. Any suggestions about a supplier would be welcome.

This one is kinda funny, it came with Bayonet (not matching), cleaning kit in a blue canvas bag, bayo scabard, and a leather bullet pouch.

Took the plunge at the local pawn shop today.
Styer M95 and the question which one.
Bubba has done a not to shabby job on the forestock with his handy Buck Knife, threw away the uppper hand guards; cut the forearm about halfway back and whittled a sort of Shanbele(sp) tip on it.

Barrel is 18.75in. long =/- 1/8inch.
No Bayonet lug
Front sight is tapered post (Buckhorn) with a long ramp.
Rear sight is graduated out to 24(00) yds/mtrs.
No sign of inletting for a sling...

Nope... I'm not kidding.

How about if I buy your M95 8x56R ammo for you? Sound like a good deal? "Where's the catch", you say? Well... see if this sounds reasonable to you.

I was looking at 8x56R ammo prices and lamenting that I can't get them to Alaska for any reasonable price considering "Shipping" fees companies charge. First, most suppliers WILL NOT use anything but UPS. Problem is, UPS WILL NOT ship ammo except by "Ground". The problem with
