I got myself 2 Mannlicher 1895 long rifles, a 1895 carbine and 1888/90. I did a muzzle test with 8mm mauser and 8x56mmR Nazi ammo and they passed the muzzle test but the carbine, even though there is rifling in it so I can only guess worn out muzzle or counterbore(?). I bought the carbine in Black Friday 2022 along with an enfield from RTI as my first purchases from the company. I am hoping to get actual ammunition for them to see how they are. My carbine did have wrist crack and my 1888/90 was missing a safety lever, a rear sight leaf that help elevate it and the firing pin was broken. I was able to replace all of that. I may get another carbine sometime later if they were to have 150$ plus clip.
I have watched videos of purchases from RTI , I just can not bring myself to buy something from them . I have several 95/30’s ,in the 8x56R , I do not have one in the 8x50R
you should get a kropatschek
Good video

They definitely are not where your likely to get a pristine sample.
Well, that wasn't worst thing I've seen from RTI :-)
Definitely not.
