The first stamp reads "3527" and then the heatstamp overtop reads "2201" I am trying to figure out the year the gun was produced/accepted into service. I was able to make out the numbers underneath and above. 95, Hungarian: Gyalogsgi Ismtl Puska M95 Infantry Repeating-Rifle M95) is a straight pull bolt-action rifle, designed by Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher. To date no one we’re aware of has upgraded one to 6.5 Creedmore, but that’s.

Underneath those numbers, the rifle has been double stamped, one 4 digit code over another 4 digit code. Some M95 rifles were converted to 8×57 Mauser (the German 7.92×57 ammunition. You can see a faint Austrian Flag stamped on above the numbers. Beautifully grained carbine stock in nice condition with very few minor handling marks & small dings associated with a stock of its age. M95-05 STEYR M95 Cut Down in 8 X 56r calibre PICTURES. The stamp on the barrel is "2977 U" and there are 4 stamps on the buttstock. Import marked and re-serialed on the LH side of the receiver. Date Sold 855.

There a bunch of stamps all over the gun but in the pictures below I have shown the stamps on the barrel and the stamps on the buttstock of the rifle. A STEYR M95 rifle is currently worth an average price of 401.36 used. The gun operates normally and I can load ammunition and fire it, so naturally nothing will happen.

It came with 5 stripper clips (4 in Original packages of 2 each) with all bullets being original 1938 German ammunition. Good or bad price? What is it worth in this condition?
