My father past and left behind a Steyr m95. Im not sure about the ammo but I have one now in working condition. I think the ammo is 8mm or 8x56r. I will be doing my research on it now. I want to shoot it.

I am not moved by my emotions or by what seems popular. I will do what is right. -
Good info here:

Is a long rifle or a carbine?
The long guns are prob 8X50r
The carbine guns are (in most cases) 8X56r

i found the carbine kinda meh, personally.
the long rifle, though, is a thing of elegance and beauty.
personally i think of ww1 long rifles as their own class; they're "modern" guns with modern cartridges, aesthetics and sights, but theyre the last of their kind; after them everyone moved on to more practical carbines and semi-auto battle rifles.
At one point i had a long rifle of each of the great powers of ww1 and the steyr is by far the thinnest and most elegant, it also seems lighter weight.
curiously, the Austro-hungarians were the only great power to not have some ridiculously long and impractical yet totally cool as hell huge bayonet; that's my only complaint about it.
its also neat to see how Steyr did a straight pull in a much simpler and cheaper to manufacture way than the swiss did with their Schmidt Rubins."If the American Left wanted to decrease interest in shooting, they should have the government make it mandatory like they do here in Switzerland. Nothing makes you not want to do something like when the government makes you do it."

The carbine is so handy, M1 carbine with a BIG bullet. Amazing how such a small rifle could fire a large caliber round.Comment
