This video delves into the Swiss Model 1893, a Mannlicher straight-pull cavalry carbine. It explains how the Swiss, after adopting the Vetterli and Schmidt-Rubin straight-pull systems, sought a more compact action for cavalry. The Mannlicher design, similar to the Austrian Steyr M95, was chosen but ultimately proved too complex to disassemble and insufficiently accurate for Swiss service. Only 8,000 were purchased, and the carbine was deemed obsolete by 1905, replaced by a Schmidt-Rubin design. Despite its service issues, the Model 1893 is noted for its high-quality Mannlicher straight-pull construction.
