Just got a 71/84 last weekend - I like them already!

Fine looking pair! The 71/84 is one of the best made rifles ever.

I just got a 71/84 today!

Needs some work though. If anyone can help with parts let me know!

I love that "english stock" style grip they have! Very ###y.

Anyone know where detailed take-down instructions for this rifle can be had online?

LOVING that Kar! You sure it's not a Jaeger? How's the condition?

well, it's marked Kar 71 and marked to a dragoon regiment. made at steyr in 1876, and issued in 1877. condition is certainly G+ by any measure, and the bore is VG-Ex. i'm no expert, but i don't expect to find a nicer one considering it was made 133 years ago. i know there are unissued IG71/84 kicking around, but have my doubt that there are any 71's like that out there.
