Bought this in a moment of weakness. M95 that has been D&T'd stock hacked and probably incorrect barrel band. Looking for a source of formed brass. May order dies, may not. Would like to shoot this but may wait and try to find some ammo. Called Gads and planning on buying some ammo from him to start.
So far I've figured out this is a cut down rifle with banded front sight. Has the carbine 24 marked rear sight. Un modified, still 8x50r.
On to the pics. Any M95 experts here? What did I get into?

Don't put Nazi ammo through it! That stock wrist may not take the recoil! That is a seriously messed with stock, isn't it?

Do you have any of the clips? Don't fire it single, this endangers the unobtanium extractor. They are available on eBay.

I have one clip. Yeah the stock is almost firewood.

For brass I would check Graffs, Buffalo Arms, and Huntingtons. One of them ought to have some 8x50R. I think NOE has the Oldfeller Frankenstein mold, but there was a group buy going on for a Cramer HP option through Miha as well. That is still likely to be your best boolit. Graffs has had the Hornaday 205gr .330 bullet that would be appropriate.
