Steyr M95 Bolt

[DennisCA]

I recently acquired a Steyr M95 and love it, however the bolt works real hard.
I've put several different types of lubericans (silcon spray, gun oil ect) on it and it still takes a lot muscle to get open. Does anyone have some suggestions or just the Steyr M 95 carbine?

When you bolt it are you shouldering it? I found its easier if its actually held like you were going to shoot it,I have not fired mine because I cannot find ammo

Need to take bolt apart and polish firing pin, cam surfaces, lug leads, use moly on cam/wear surfaces.

Also, M.95 bolts prefer grease rather than oil.

I have an unimmaginable amount of 8x56r.

Few dozen Nazi marked clips with ammo.



Not for sale.



You can find the ammo but you will pay out the arse for it. I came across a guy that was liquidating his collection. I bought a ton of ammo from him.

Thanks for the info.
Gonna have to break out the M95 then.

This gun is what they were thinking of when they first said penny wise pound foolish.

I believe that your problem may be an issue with the tail of the extractor being worn are dinged. I will try to find a link on this, but it has been years since I dealt with it. There are a couple of parts that get worn out of true on these, and once they are out of spec, it is a bear to get the bolt to open/close. My only infantry rifle of this model is like that, and I can't open the bolt without re-cocking the rifle first. I picked it up long after I lost the link last time, and have not gotten around to finding it again. Try a google search on the extractors.

You can buy the Prvi Partizan Ammo from AIM for $19.95 a box of 20.

Midway and Ammo To Go also carry it, but for a little more. Available in FMJ and soft point.
It is brass cased, boxer primed and so is reloadable.

Yes, it is $1/rnd but seriously, you are a better man than I (person in OHOD's case) if your shoulder can take more than two clips of that 1938 Nazi ammo without a recoil pad or massage therapy.
Just buy one or two boxes and shoot it first before stockpiling ammo.

If you gotta have it, I will straight trade you a 10rnd box of the Nazi stuff on clips for a 20rnd box of the Prvi - but just one!

You could also check Buymilsurp.com, I think they had some 1930's stuff on clips a little while back.

What doesn't look legitimate?

To me, it just looks like a site that has never been completed.
The last update to it looks like it was 2 years ago.

Here's details on the domain.
