Royal Tiger Imports M95 Unboxing | Steyr Mannlicher M1895 Austro-Hungarian Rifle From Africa | AOI

I guess I just enjoy hurting myself. I did it again... I bought a Rifle from Royal Tiger Imports. This time I picked up an Austro-Hungarian Mannlicher M1895 made at Steyr. This particularity M95 straight pull rifle came to the US from Ethiopia, in Africa, where it was left by the Italians at some point around The Second World War. The Stock is marked with a very faint AOI which stands for Italian East Africa. The rifle is in really rough shape but that's no surprise coming from RTI. Most of their milsurp rifles are in similar conditions. It is still chambered in the original 8x50R cartridge as opposed to most other M95's which were converted to 8x56R. This interesting piece of military history has had a very difficult life and I'm happy to have it in my collection even if it's not in the best shape. Thanks for Watching! #WW1 #Milsurp #WW2 ‪@royaltigerimports‬ Royal Tiger Imports M95 Unboxing | Steyr Mannlicher M1895 Austro-Hungarian Rifle From Africa AOI
