M95M. Straight pull Steyr but not the usual 8X50R or 8X56R... reworked to take 8X57 mauser. Store had it marked $159 thinking it was a regular 8X56 carbine when in fact it is worth double that.
The extractor is intact, a weak part on these. Not weak per se, but if you single chamber a round, being rimless, it is prone to cracking.
It is missing the internal clip, but I think I can modify a standard 8X56 clip to work. Or even just bend a piece of sheet metal to shape. It is only there to keep the rounds aligned in the rather deep and wide 95 mag.
Will have it out next week with my standard start load of a Lee 175 gr bullet and 11 gr Red Dot.
