How is the rifling in those m95s? I picked up an m95 that was set in an m90 Gendarmerie stock. I still can't figure if this was an arsenal conversion or a hobbyist's endeavor. Great rifles, I own a bunch of them. Nice instructional video. Can't wait for part two.
The rifling on both are great considering where they came from, there will be footage of the rifling on this one and it amazed me how well it cleaned up.
Now that’s actually pretty dope, I collect mannlichers and that second rifle you got there is my favorite m95 variant. You got a true stutzen (at minimum the stock and band are from one anyways) that is only underslung so They don’t have wrist mounted slings and are a much nicer hold IMO. These guys were only produced before the war really as wartime production was mostly stutzen karabiners and karabiner stutzens (dual sling points). Your other rifle is an example of the former dual sling model. Does the stutzen match on the handguard and stock as well?
I will have to check as many markings are worn off, but as far as I know they are all matching. Thank you for the info as well, I did not know the difference between the two types of carbines beforehand.
Oh there’s actually 4, stutzens, karabiners, the stutzen-karabiners and karabiner-stutzens. Stutzens are underslung and the rear barrel band further forward. Karabiners have side slings only and the rear band is further back. In ww1 new carbines were made with both sling types included on each rifle but the handguard and band spacing/specs still varied. So basically a karabiner-stutzen is not a stutzen-karabiner even though they have both side and under side sling mounts as their handguard dimensions differed as well as how they achieved both side and underslung sling points. This doesn’t even include post war m95 carbine variants but ww1 era it’s just those 4 unless you count the 1890 carbines.
Nice rifle, reminds me of the Carcano.
👍🏽
That stock looks like some tigerstipes on it… cool guns!
You'll be shocked to see how the stock came out!
@@farmerhanson8579I bet it’s nice! Looking forward to an update/new video?
