This video delves into the Mannlicher M88/95 rifle, an update created by the Austro-Hungarian Empire during World War I. Facing significant rifle shortages early in the war, they repurposed older M88 and M88/90 pattern rifles, originally designed for black powder cartridges. These were rebarreled with M95 pattern barrels and fitted with new rear sights, creating the M88/95 designation. The video notes that these updated rifles often received upper handguards, though they are frequently missing on examples, especially those imported from Ethiopia. The presented rifle was provided by InterOrdnance and Royal Tiger Imports.
This video showcases a unique Ethiopian M90/95 Hybrid Mannlicher carbine. The firearm has a fascinating history, originally an Austrian M90 carbine from 1892. It saw service in World War One, was later sent to East Africa as war reparations by Italy, and then retained by Ethiopia after World War Two. The carbine's stock and associated parts were later replaced with M95 pattern components. This hybrid weapon was recently imported into the US and is presented here for review and analysis.
This video showcases the rare WWI Steyr M95 sniper carbine, highlighting its unique features. Unlike most sniper rifles of the era, this carbine was scoped and had its scope offset to the left due to the en bloc clip loading system. The video details the scope manufacturers used (Reichert, Kahles, Suss, Fuess, Oigee), the 3x magnification, and the German post reticle with adjustable range. It also explains the numbering system on the scope bases and rings, which indicated assembly and production sequence. The scarcity of these carbines today is attributed to their limited production and subsequent scrapping after WWI, with many intended as war reparations to Italy but never utilized.
