Description
The Kavalerie Repetier-Carabiner M1895 is a unique rifle that was used by cavalry units of the Austro-Hungarian Army as a replacement for the Mannlicher M1890 carbine. This carbine is chambered in 8×50mmR Mannlicher and features sights that are graduated from 500-2400 paces (375-1800 m).
It's fitted with a stutzen-like front barrel band with bayonet lugs for added effectiveness in mounted cavalry units during World War I. The M1895 is known for its unusual straight-pull bolt action, which combines a two-lug rotating bolt head with a pair of helical grooves cut in the bolt body for efficient movement.
