What’s Included
- Mannlicher-Steyr M.95/34 Bulgarian Conversion Carbine (8x56mmR)
Originally built during the WWI era and later converted in the 1930s, this M.95/34 reflects the Bulgarian pattern with clear, identifying features. The rear sight is re-graduated 6–20, and the front sight uses a blade protected by square ears. The barrel is marked with a large "S" to denote the 8x56mmR conversion.
The carbine retains its straight-pull bolt action and Mannlicher en-bloc clip–fed internal magazine system. The bolt body remains bright in-the-white, contrasting the blued steel receiver and barrel. The 19 inch barrel provides the compact handling expected of the carbine configuration.
Its hardwood military stock includes a right-side grasping groove and side sling swivels, paired with a wood handguard. Length of pull measures 13.25 inches, and the iron sights are configured as issued for the Bulgarian conversion.
Markings include the STEYR receiver stamp and the CAI St. Albans, VT import mark. The receiver is serialed 6519V with a matching 6519 on the barrel shoulder, and the buttstock shows Bulgarian renumbering, offering coherent identification throughout the major components.
