M95 Mannlicher Ammunition

[smgcon]

Commonly, 8x56R Austrian made ammunition is found at gun shows and at dealers, packaged in cardboard cartons containing two, five-round Mannlicher clips. The cartons are usually dated 1938 or 1939 and are marked "8mm M. 30" with a large red "S" on the carton flap. The "S" on the ammunition carton corresponds to the "S" stamped on the barrel of the M95.

I have one carton of two 5 rd clips as well as one extra clip of 5 rds. The individual rounds are marked "VIII 1938 Eagle over swastika"

The clips are also marked. Two have eagle over swastika, the third has a two headed eagle. The carton is marked

1o Stuck
8mm M. 30 scharfe
S. Patronen
Rottw.
XXII. 1938
Eagle over swastika
P635

Thanks,

Geoff

if you sell them be sure the buyer understands that many guns like this, the m95 manlicher were rechambered fer other rounds / military stuff................at least 3 variations according to the magazine surplus guns put out by guns an ammo magazine.
as follows.........original chambering =austrian model 1890 / 93 cartridge=8x50r mm
next = upgrade to m 1930 cartridge= 8x56r mm these guns marked on barrel with an S (on austrian guns, or h on hungarian issue m-95s)
last convertsion is to 7.92x57mm mauser calibre these guns are marked steyr m95/24
ammo is in no way interchange able.........

Last milsurp 56R I bought was 20$/10rds. And it was CRAP. I knew it would be though, all I / 38. The later lots have always been better in my experience.
2$s a round is getting to be pretty much the norm these days it seems. The 8/38 has always been the most reliable for me.
