The Mannlicher Model 1895 rifle is a bolt-action rifle with a straight pull bolt. It served in the army of Austria-Hungary as a standard issue rifle. In the First World War, the army leadership recognized the significant disadvantage of long rifles in the trenches. For this reason, short carbines in the standard caliber of 8x50R were produced from then on. Due to the reloading process involving the quick pulling back and pushing forward of the bolt, soldiers colloquially referred to the rifle as the "Ruck-Zuck-Gewehr." The carbine was loaded with clips of 5 cartridges each.

Technical details:

  • Total length 100.5 cm
  • Barrel length 51 cm mirror bright
  • Straight pull cylinder bolt
  • Stock presumably beech

Das Gewehr Mannlicher Modell 1895 ist ein Repetiergewehr mit Geradezugverschluss. Es diente in der Armee Österreich-Ungarns als Ordonnanzgewehr. Im erstem Weltkrieg erkannte die Armeeführung den großen Nachteil langer Gewehre in den Schützengräben. Aus diesem Grund baute man von nun an kurze Karabiner in dem Einheitskaliber 8x50R. Aufgrund des Nachladevorganges durch schnelles Zurück- und Vorschieben des Verschlusses nannten die Soldaten das Gewehr umgangssprachlich „Ruck-Zuck-Gewehr“. Geladen wurde der Karabiner mit Ladestreifen von jeweils 5 Patronen.

Technische Details:

  • Gesamtlänge 100,5 cm
  • Lauflänge 51 cm spiegelblank
  • Geradezug-Zylinderverschluss
  • Schaft vermutlich Buche
  • hoheskorn
  • 1a Zustand, lediglich Lagerspuren
