This video delves into the Steyr M30S Prototype, a unique early 1930s Swiss-made rifle developed for Hungarian military trials. The rifle is described as a repurposed Mauser action from an improved World War I German rifle design (Gewehr 98 derivative), adapted to use Hungarian Mannlicher en bloc clips and ammunition. While it featured elements of the never-produced 1917 Mauser improvement like a dust cover (though missing in this prototype), it ultimately lost the competition to a Mannlicher action rifle. The video highlights its historical significance as an evolutionary step in rifle design and a failed contender in military trials.
