This video delves into the history and specifics of the Steyr G29(ö), also known as the Gewehr 12/34. Following Germany's acquisition of a controlling interest in Steyr in 1938, the company repurposed its Mauser-pattern carbine tooling, originally for Chile (the M12/34), to produce rifles for the Luftwaffe. These rifles were chambered in 8mm Mauser instead of the Chilean 7mm. Approximately 50,000 were manufactured between mid-1938 and late 1939, before production shifted to the standard K98k pattern. The G29(ö) is noted for its rarity among collectors.
